The Manager's press conference

[Dark Savante]

I think Fergie gave his best press converence in years today.

Put RM in their place.

Spoke of his true desire to win more trophies especially the CL - he's obsessed with winning more EC's. Already speaking of this one in a semi-past tense.

About the concern of the draining trip to Japan in December

About him and Quieroz having a sit down, on the Thursday about the squad and its needs

About planting the seeds which completely derailed Liverpool as league challenger (he said his job was done in this respect a long time ago, lol)

About the kids thinking the EC comes every year with how they've gotten it at such a young age, whilst the older players savour every moment

etc

He's so important to us. We'll never sleep with him at the helm.

Try and get the file or a stream of it if you can.

I'm just glad we are so close to overtaking Liverpool's haul that we will likely have him for several more years.

[sdotsom]

Any links, etc?

[Invincible]

I missed it. :( I want domination of Europe the most.

[Twix]

I saw the Real Madrid bit on SSN just now and it was awesome.

After watching that, I can honestly say, that as long as Fergie is at the club and Ronaldo is under contract, we will never sell Ronaldo to Real. Ever.

[biro]

The General Franco quote was absolute class!

[Bex79]

I caught it. Class stuff from Fergie. :)

Anyway, this is supposed to be a link to a bit of the press conf. Found it on the caf, cant get it to load to check. Can someone check it out please ?

A bit of it is on Sky Sports News video's latest Report.

Looks like it's working. Part of it is bleeped out for some reason, after the Slavery comment.

[Bex79]

Aye, its working for me now too. Silly thing.

works fine.

Makes me laugh still.

I forgot to mention that Fergie expects us to be able to keep Ronaldo till about 26 quite easily and then at that point we'll be at a big crossroads with him and it'll depend on our status in Europe (as in more EC's) as to whether he reckons he'll want to stay or go.

It's a classic. I reckon it will become a biggy. :D

[sdotsom]

My favorite part is that Fergie is sipping champagne or wine or something while giving the conference, at least is holding a champaign flute.

BALLER STATUS.

[Bex79]

Now, every singly one of us loves Alex Ferguson!

Heh heh, just watched it again. makes me laugh that. :D My boss comes up and announces that this is a sign Fergie is senile and bitter. :D


The berties levels of delusion are rapidly reaching scouse. This is all so much fun. :)

[Invincible]

After seeing that press conference...I don't think I can say another bad word about him again. If I ever say anything bad about him in the future someone remind me and e-slap me over the head.

That was a brilliant press conference, brilliant. My respect for him just went through the roof.

[LA. MAN UNITED]

If he didnt justify the Park ommission , I think he should be sacked...

[pgr17]

like sdotsom said, SAF sipping champagne during the conference is classic too :D

i wonder if his comments about Barcelona having greater morals than Real means anything as far as Pique goes?

i wish they wouldn't have cut off the video at that point - they were just asking about players staying or leaving...

[sdotsom]

I think it was more just playing off the RM V Barca.

[Bure9]

Cheers Fergie!!! Well timed assault on Real Madrid. CL is finally over and it's a slow news day in football world. This will make the front page of every news outlet.

What was with the bleep? Did Fergie curse or is it political correctness gone mad?

[sdotsom]

Can't figure it out myself. The text transcripts have everything you hear in the conference - then there's a bleep, and you here some slight laughing.
