Fergie on Liverpool's Suarez t-shirt protest: 'The most ridiculous thing for a club of their stature' Ferguson on Lampard: "Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn’t think of him as an elite international footballer" Sir Alex: "Cristiano was the most gifted player I managed, He surpassed all the other great ones I coached at United and I had many". Alex Ferguson on David Moyes: "David Moyes will be fine. United will be fine."
Fergie on SG: "I'm one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player. When Keane & Scholes were in our team, he seldom had a kick." Sir Alex: "It took us a while to understand just how good RvP is. Even Scholes & Carrick had trouble picking up the speed of his movements" Sir Alex: “He was around 12 feet from me. Between us on the floor lay a row of boots. Beckham swore. I moved towards him & I kicked a boot." Sir Alex on Hargreaves signing: "A disaster. One of the most disappointing signings of my career."
Sir Alex had to apologise to RVP when he retired because he had previously assured him he would not leave Poor rvp
SAF: "Teddy was always moaning at me, and I can understand because he was a great player... but Ole never complained." Sir Alex: "(Young) Rooney would rage when I picked him out for criticism. His eyes would burn, as if he wanted to knock my lights out."
Fergie on Beckham: “He lost the chance to become an absolute top-dog player ... he never attained the level of an absolute top player” SAF: "I remember my shock and awe seeing Dion Dublin coming out of the shower. I mean, it was just magnificent." Sir Alex: "I left Rooney to discuss his future with David Moyes, hoping to see many more great performances from him at Old Trafford." Sir Alex regarding Rooney: "The boy wanted to leave."
Here's what Sir Alex thought of Owen Hargreaves: 'There was something about him I didn’t like' Ferguson on Jose & Rafa: "If you saw Jose and Rafa standing together on the touchline, you knew you could pick the winner." Last #Fergie on #Pizzagate - "They say it was Cesc Fabregas who threw the pizza at me but, to this day, I have no idea who the culprit was" SAF: I hope to help David Moyes in the same way that Sir Matt Busby helped me at the start. Sir Alex on 1-6 loss against City: "After the final whistle I informed the players they had disgraced themselves." SAF on City as champions: "Evidently it was enough for them to have beaten Man Utd in a title race. They settled into a sense of relief." #Ferguson: "There's no way I could manage England. Absolutely no way. Not in a million years. Think of me going back to Scotland, deary me". Fergie on loneliness of management: "Sometimes I'd hope for that rap on door. I would want Phelan or Meulensteen to come in for cup of tea" SAF: "Maldini was an outstanding player. I loved him. I approached his father once, and the look he gave me I knew never to go back to him."
Ferguson on the fa: 'You can't work out who is running the governing body' Fergie on Bebe: 'He was capable of scoring 20 goals a season ... he obviously had a hard upbringing wandering the streets of Lisbon' Sir Alex on Mancini taking Tevez back: "Taking him back showed desperation. In terms of his prestige as a manager, he let himself down." #Fergie on #LFC - Called club's support of Suarez by wearing t-shirts "ridiculous (thing) for a club of Liverpool's stature" SAF on Keane: "Him leaving was the best thing that could have ever happened because players were intimidated by him"
Sky Sports journalist asks Fergie a question with several parts to it: "3 questions," Ferguson replied: "Typical Sky. Greed." #Ferguson asked if he would drop Rooney today: "No way. When he's in that form we see a different player, a fantastic player." Sir Alex on Stam: "He was like half Stone Cold Steve Austin, half Franz Beckenbauer - the complete centre-back." Sir Alex on Moyes: “Once the ball starts rolling they will be fine. David has a great support system. They’ll be fine.” #Ferguson on #Keane fallout: "The meeting was horrendous. If I had let it pass, the players would have viewed me differently". Fergie - the minute a Manchester United player thought he was bigger than the manager, he had to go.
"Manchester United are the only team in that league, who can win it coming from behind. Believe me". - Sir Alex Ferguson. Fergie on Kleberson: "Paid too much attention to what his wife wanted" SAF on City's title win: "Of all the setbacks I endured, nothing compared to losing the league to City."
He said: 1. Steven Gerrard is not a top, top player and 2. Steven Gerrard can beat a team single-handed. Yeah right
