Sir Alex Ferguson Criticises Premier League Plans
2011-04-01 15:56:00 Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has had his say on the Premier League's plan to cut down on abusive behaviour towards referees. Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has announced that from the start of next season, the Premier League hopes to get clubs to crackdown on ?unacceptable? behaviour by players and managers towards referees. Sir Alex Ferguson is currently serving a five-game touchline ban for comments made about referee Martin Atkinson, but he insists that there is no issue. Speaking at Friday's press conference, Sir Alex said: ?Richard Scudamore hasn't got an awful lot to do, doesn't he? He's trying to elevate the Premier League - fine, that's good, that's his job. ?I don't think managers disrespect referees. I got fined for what I thought was a fair comment. He didn't, he gave me a five-match ban, that's fine. ?But there's a difference to say that we don't respect referees? "They've got a difficult job, we all know that. You woul...

Sir Alex: I Think Arsenal Or Ourselves Will Win It
2011-02-26 14:58:00 Ahead of Man United's game against Chelsea on Tuesday, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has dismissed Chelsea's chances of winning the league title. Sir Alex said: "I think Arsenal or ourselves will win it? "What I said earlier in the season was that normally two teams break away. You come towards the end of the season and it always seems to come down to two teams and that's the way it's looking now." Before of today's game, Man United are currently top of the table, with Arsenal a point behind the league leaders but have played a game extra. A win away at Wigan Athletic this afternoon would take Man United four points clear of second place Arsenal. Chelsea currently sit fifth in the Premier League table, 12 points behind Man United. They are two points behind Tottenham and four behind Man City. Sir Alex continued: ?It won't be easy [for Chelsea] to come back from that kind of points deficit. "I said some time ago, the team that is most consistent would win the ...

Sir Alex Ferguson On Welbeck And Rafael Escapes Further Ban
2011-01-21 17:10:00 Danny Welbeck so far this season has had a very successful time on loan at Sunderland, which as lead to him being linked with a permanent move to the Stadium of Light. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has rubbished these reports. After selling Darren Bent to Aston Villa, Sunderland will be looking for a replacement but that will not be Welbeck. Sir Alex said: ?Steve (Bruce) has as much chance of getting me. ?It is unfortunate Danny will be out for six weeks because he was playing so well. ?He has shown fantastic form and he is only 20. ?He has a long way to go yet but the signs are good for him.? Today, Rafael Da Silva has been fined and warned about his future behaviour after accepting the FA?s improper conduct charge. Rafael was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in the 0-0 draw against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. A statement released by the FA read: At an Independent regulatory Commission hearing today, Manchester United?s Rafael Da Silva was fine...

Sir Alex Ferguson On Signings, Macheda And Cleverley
2010-12-31 17:31:00 Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson unsurprisingly confirmed that there will be no major signings during the January transfer window. Denmark keeper Anders Lindegaard will join United from Aalesund in January, he has spent December training with the Man United squad but can't sign until the window opens. Sir Alex said: "We have no plans to bring anyone in when the window opens" The gaffer went on to talk about Federico Macheda, who has been linked with a move away to clubs such as Roma, Bolton and his former club Lazio. Macheda's agent has said that he believes there are no less than four Serie A clubs looking to sign the 19-year old. "Kiko is in the same position as the likes of Danny Welbeck and Mame Biram Diouf. We've got a clutch of young strikers at the club who need games. Kiko comes into that category. "I've had a chat with him. I don?t want him to go but the way the squad is shaping up - Michael Owen is fit again, Chicharito is progressing well, Bebe will be a s...

Sir Alex Set To Retire? Who Will Replace Him?
2010-04-21 01:36:00 Back in 2002 Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was all set to retire, but after a change of heart it was agreed that he would stay on for another three years. Eight years later Sir Alex is still in charge of Man United, with rumours surfacing yet again suggesting that he will retire after next season. I think most Man United fans are dreading the day that Sir Alex retires, it will come because it has to but I believe these are just newspaper rumours. I believe that Sir Alex will announce his retirement completely out of the blue, without any warning at all and that will be it. I also believe that Man United and Sir Alex Ferguson together will have chosen his successor. Fergie isn?t going to leave United in a mess, he will help chose the next manager, who will be right for the job. I also don?t believe that right now Sir Alex has any dates in his mind. I can see him wanting to knock Liverpool off their perch and help United win 19 league titles, which could happen this seaso...

Football supremo Ferguson is of course well known as a political mastermind and no doubt his endorsement of Moyra Tamsin Dunwoody will have locals voting labour in their droves. Not.

There was a bit of misfortune, shots were blocked and the goalkeeper made a few saves. But we missed some chances. ?But we have to think about the performance. The energy we put in was tremendous.

Aston Villa vs Man Utd: Sir Alex lauds Rooney
2008-01-05 09:51:00 Sir Alex Ferguson has given an insight into how much Wayne Rooney loves his football - and Manchester United in particular. The England striker, who could return to the side against Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Saturday after he was laid low by a virus, has indicated he would be keen to see out his career at Old Trafford. Manchester United want to perform better after two not up to the mark performance agianst WHU and Birmingham City.he former Everton star was forced to skip the narrow victory over Birmingham in midweek but has now returned to training.

His enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air. He is the first player in the training ground every morning. "Sometimes he has breakfast with the staff and asks a million questions.

21 Years On, Sir Alex Loses None of the Fire
2007-11-05 19:06:00 After a remarkable 21 years at the club, it’s good to see Fergie’s still got the passion, evidenced by his apparent unhappiness firmly targeting Saturday’s referee Howard Webb. A strong opinion that could land him in some hot water with the powers that be. I’m not sure I share Fergie’s venom towards Webb, I thought he did an admirable job in what has often been difficult fixture over the years. It was just another match in a remarkable list.
Sir Alex: No Way Jose
2007-11-01 18:16:00 Speaking to the quite serious looking League Managers Association website about various topics, Fergie has doubts that Jose Mourinho will one day return to English football.

Sir Alex: This is Rooney's year
2007-07-27 19:50:00 Wayne Rooney has been tipped to have a "great season" next year after his first uninterrupted pre-season with the Reds since joining in 2004.Rooney finished up as United's joint-top goalscorer last term, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo with 23 goals. It followed a run of 11 goals in 16 games in the final three months of a campaign which began with some questioning his form.But, according to Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson, the 21-year-old striker will benefit immeasurably from the freshness of having a rare close-season rest and full preparatory work ahead of the new campaign."He just loves football and loves training and he will be a big player next year, believe me," Sir Alex told The Sun."He will have a great season, because he's had a proper pre-season for the first time with us. He will be fine. Nothing bothers Wayne. He is incredible, a very strong character."Rooney's insatiable hunger for football has left a lasting impression on the United boss, who describes the forward's appet...

United did contribute to their own downfall somewhat, but Ferguson also chose to point to an impressive display from Milan. The Old Trafford manager, however, did rue the 'cheap' goals given away by his side."I think Milan got their goals cheaply and that's disappointing - at that level you can't do that. They were sharper and quicker to the ball and pressed really well. I think they've been good winners. We were on the back foot all the time and found it difficult."I think they were better prepared physically, they were resting players and it can make a difference."I don't think we lacked in a physical sense, but they were certainly sharper and quicker to the ball and pressed very well."I think they were good winners."In fairness, Fergie felt his team never really looked like they were going to score - they were on the back foot all the t...

Rooney: I'll win Sir Alex bet
2007-04-30 19:23:00 Sir Alex Ferguson could be out of pocket for the second time this season if Wayne Rooney can win his bet with the Reds boss.Cristiano Ronaldo has already won his wager with Sir Alex after surpassing the 15-goal mark earlier in the campaign. The Portuguese winger has lost several bets with the manager in recent seasons, but won this season. And now Rooney is looking to take more cash off Sir Alex."People have criticised me for not scoring enough, and it does bother me when I'm not hitting the back of the net," Rooney admitted recently.The critiscism is almost dumbfounding when you consider that - by trade, a support striker - he is United's top scorer with 23 goals already this season, and can lay claim to being the team's highest assist-maker."I'm on a nice little run and hopefully I can keep it going and win the bet I've had with the manager," he adds. "There's not a lot of money involved, but it's a nice little incentive. The most important thing is that the team keeps winn...

"And Steve Coppell, who is in a position where nobody expected him to be and has a team who does not play negatively - they have a positive attitude everywhere they go."The Arsenal manager , meanwhile, admits that the season has petered out into a big let-down for his youthful side following last term's march to the Champions League final."This year we had a massive disappointment, I feel overall, especially in going out of the Champions League the way we went out," he said."But it's part of a growing process as well to handle this kind of disappointment and to sti...

Boss backs star duo
2007-04-04 11:19:00 Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo to come up with the goods for United in Europe.Surprisingly given his league form this term, Ronaldo is yet to find the net in the Champions League for the Reds, while Rooney hasn?t scored since his debut hat-trick against Fenerbahce in September 2004.But Sir Alex isn?t concerned by the statistics because of their contribution to the team. But he would dearly hope the two can change their respective records at Stadio Olimpico tonight when the Reds face AS Roma.?We haven?t scored a lot of goals in Europe in the last few years,? he said. ?Maybe it's just young players adapting to the Champions League.?Sometimes Wayne?s overall contribution gets overlooked. We?re certainly not concerned, his form has been very good. He has created so many openings in matches, not just for himself, for the rest of the team.?And, at the moment, I think Ronaldo is the best player in the world. His form this season has been fantastic.?Every t...
