Got Carra's on the feedback from some of the guys on here but haven't read it yet. Will definitely get this though.
I also found this one and again it seems a genuine quote....... I'm confused I don't remember Fergie doing that?
Fergie quote: "I begged them to appoint Moyes because I didn't want anyone taking the glory from my hard work"
' I always felt safe with him, I knew he'd never let me down. I've managed some of the best players to ever wear the shirt for Manchester United but he was by far my greatest signing'. Fergie on Howard Webb. 'Probably City'. Fergie on Matth, when asked what team he'll swap to once Moyes' United finish outside the top 4 for the first time in the P.L era.
Sir Alex on RVP: "He took a lower wage to come to place where he could be most successful" Sir Alex on Roy Keane: "Him leaving was the best thing that could have happened." Sir Alex on Beckham: "David thought he was bigger than Alex Ferguson. You cannot have a player taking over the dressing room." Sir Alex at being approached twice for England manager: "Not in a million years could I manage England." Sir Alex on van Persie signing: "He took a lower wage (Man City and Juventus) to come to place where he could be most successful" Sir Alex Ferguson (autobiography): I tried to sign Steven Gerrard at Manchester United, but he's not a "top, top" player. Fergie on Rafa: "I found #LFC hard to watch when he was there. I found them dull. Benitez has more regard for destroying a game than winning Sir Alex on Beckham: "He fell in love with Victoria, that changed everything I think." Sir Alex Ferguson on Owen Hargreaves: "One of the most disappointing signings of my career. It was a disaster."
ON STEVEN GERRARD... Steven Gerrard is not a 'top, top player,' according to Ferguson. The former Manchester United manager felt the England captain 'seldom had a kick' when coming up against a midfield of Roy Keane and Paul Scholes. But despite this, Ferguson admits he tried to sign the Liverpool player when word reached Old Trafford in 2005 that his days at Anfield were numbered.
ON DAVID BECKHAM... David Beckham chose fame rather than fulfilling his potential to become a legend at United, writes Ferguson. In a damning assessment on Beckham’s departure from the club, Ferguson refuses to be repentant about kicking a boot at the player’s head and claims he thought he was bigger than his manager. Ferguson details how the boot-kicking incident was sparked because Beckham failed to track Sylvain Wiltord during an FA Cup 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in February 2003, leading to the second goal. Ferguson says: ‘Of course he rose to have a go at me and the players stopped him. “Sit down,” I said. “You’ve let your team down.”’
ON LIVERPOOL... The Scot claims Liverpool are eight players short of a title-winning squad and blasts bitter rival Rafa Benitez. Ferguson tears into Benitez in his new autobiography, describing him as a ‘silly man’ and a control freak who has no friends in management. But there is wider criticism for Liverpool as a club over the Luis Suarez affair, and even the appointment of Brendan Rodgers as manager.
ON ROY KEANE... Ferguson says that Roy Keane’s personality changed at United when he began to lose his dominance in midfield, and also questions his managerial ability as well as revealing the full details of his astonishing exit from Old Trafford. He writes of the ‘relief’ that was felt in the dressing room when the former skipper with ‘the most savage tongue’ left the club in a blaze of controversy in 2005. According to Ferguson, the physio would ask what sort of mood Keane was in that day ‘because it would affect whole dressing room’. ‘That was how influential he was in our daily lives’.
