Another Fergie bust-up

[loaf1011]

It's being reported by various sources (Soccernet and BBC for two examples) that Fergie has had a bust-up with the doctor treating Rooney and has sacked him. Is Fergie reaching menopause?

The doctor should have been trying to keep Rooney from coming back too soon.

Who knows what happened. Fergie could have asked him a question and the doctor might not have answered him fast enough. Anything could set him off. Pissed Off Fergie = A$$ on the street.

[benni...]

The doctor treated a patient and did his job. Then gets fired.

[MtP07]

I just hate how people keep trying to paint Fergie as some sort of tyrannical monster.

[Vermont Red]

Well since it's in print, it must be true. These stories are so tiresome. Next week there will be a story about a ticket-taker who got fired and that will be Fergie's fault too.

He's not like that at all. :rolleyes:

Lets be serious folks. Fergie is a great manager but we know he can be an ass. There's no point pretending like he's not a powerfreak.

Oh c'mon...you're not the most objective of posters when it comes to Fergie...

I don't. The media builds it up that way.

Fergie can be ruthless, which I don't mind. But tyranical and powerfreak he is not.

Well in the Ruud situation a lot of you guys believed what the press was spouting out, so why not now?

Being Ruthless, and being a tyrant ... pretty much in Fergie's case all the same.

Powerfreak, ofcourse he is not. But, the situations are there for us to see. A lot of Fergie's top fans like to make excuse after excuse after excuse, I stopped doing it because It just doesnt always add up.

United doctor quits following Ferguson bust-up

Club insists move has nothing to do with Rooney injury

Staff and agencies
Wednesday May 24, 2006

Manchester United doctor Mike Stone has left Old Trafford following a major falling-out with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Just 24 hours before Wayne Rooney is due to have the scan which will either make or break his hopes of appearing in this summer's World Cup, it has emerged that Stone, the man who was treating the English striker, has had his employment with United terminated with immediate effect.

Club officials are insistent Stone's departure has nothing to do with Rooney's recovery from the broken metatarsal he suffered at Chelsea last month. However, with details over the reasons behind the dispute with Ferguson still sketchy, speculation of the problem stemming from Rooney's injury is bound to be rife.

Given the cautious tone he adopted over the 20-year-old's chances of playing in Germany this summer, Ferguson has presumably grown increasingly unhappy at the number of positive bulletins being released on Rooney's condition. Although most of the statements have been attributed to the England doctor Leif Sward, Stone has been liaising closely with the Swede.
The growing clamour for Rooney to be included in Sven-Goran Eriksson's final 23-man World Cup squad flies in the face of Ferguson's own belief that he should not travel unless he is 100% fit. According to the Scot, anything else would place Eriksson under increasing pressure to play Rooney and risk longer-term damage to his star man.

Given the importance to United of Rooney being fit for the start of next season, it would be understandable if Ferguson found the present upbeat mood irritating, possibly triggering an argument over an unrelated matter which led to confirmation of Stone's departure. "We can confirm Dr Stone has left the club," read a club statement. "There was a difference of opinion on a non-footballing and non-clinical issue, as a result of which Dr Stone felt it to be in his and the club's best interests for him to leave."

"The difference was over a non-clinical issue and had nothing whatsoever to do with any medical treatment to a Manchester United player." Stone's departure means Rooney's care will now be handled by his assistant Tony Gill, who is now expected to be officially installed as United's club doctor.

An employee of the Megastore has been fired. Apparently she had a bust-up with Fergie.

[johno]

Oh c'mon...you're not the most objective of posters when it comes to Fergie...

******** outta here... I love Fergie just as much as the next guy, but I don't think he's infallible. He's the ********ing pope, he's a ********ing manager. He has anger problems and he's a control freak. Its not like he's a peadophile or anything.
