Who Are You and What Have You Done With Sir Alex Ferguson?

Alex Ferguson was recently asked whether just-back-from-injury Wayne Rooney would be fit enough for the England squad to play Spain.

Here’s his response, with the mind-boggling bit in bold…

“I have not spoken to Fabio but I hope to do so in order to explain the situation,” said Ferguson.

“He can then decide after dialogue with the physios whether it is worth taking Wayne to Seville.

“I have no strong issue with that. It is a question of whether he would play or be a substitute, which is the same position as I am in.

“It is up to Fabio. I really have no strong objection to that.”

This is the same Alex Ferguson who once withdrew Paul Scholes from an England squad and then had the ginger ninja play 90 minutes for Man Utd that same week.

You thought the 4-1 win over Croatia was Capello’s finest moment so far? I say it’s this quote from Fergie. More proof of what can be achieved if you have a respected manager at the helm instead of (naming no names of course) a money-grabbing sex addict or his fomer assistant.
