OK, so I'll get my coat, but I still managed to laugh at this.... Pep Guardiola 'mad for it' indeed.... GKRK Ferguson removes Dalglish mask 02-04-12 ALEX Ferguson has confessed that he has been managing Liverpool for the last 15 months. He's the cheeky master of disguise After Liverpoolâs defeat to Newcastle dropped them below an Everton team that cost less than one of Stewart Downing's ineffective limbs, the cunningly-disguised Manchester United manager realised that he may have taken things too far. Ferguson said: âI knew everyone with a Scottish accent sounded the same to youse lot, but I credited you with more sense than thinking Kenny would honestly let Jonjo Shelvey near a football for any other reason than selling one in the club shop. âThere have been times when itâs been difficult to keep an extremely sour-*looking straight face and I had to keep nipping to the toilets for a giggle during most of our transfer negotiations.â The deception was revealed after latex-masked Ferguson felt that his aim of mid*table awfulness had been achieved, but some have questioned his logic of steering Liverpool to a League Cup this season. Ferguson said: âThe only way people know that youâre aiming for mediocrity is if you hit it, and a penalties win against Cardiff City in a competition even Sunderland rest players for is the very definition of footballing âmehâ.â Liverpool will appoint head coach Steve Clarke as caretaker manager once he has provided some ID proving he isnât Gary Neville in disguise. The board also claims to have secured the services of Pep Guardiola for next season. Wearing a hooded top and large sunglasses, Guardiola told reporters: âAye, itâs proper banging Iâm managing the bin dippers next season, Iâm mad for it, me, our kid.
