BEWARE, THERE WILL BE NO SECOND SIR ALEX FERGUSON Grongnard of Redrant wrote ......In fact I do not believe there are more than three or four managers in all of world football who could have done more with the squad Fergie was saddled with last season, or for the past three to four seasons really. The man was a miracle worker. Only a miracle man and a master motivator could get so much out of a team with as poor a midfield as United’s. This was a club with two aging central defenders who spent most of their time on the trainer’s table. A striker who was too fat, too distracted and too occupied with his own selfish desires to contribute like he was capable of, another striker who had a lesser goal haul than Patrice Evra, a club that had to play it’s matches with the likes of a defensive liability in Patrice Evra, an always injured Ashley Young, a woefully unmotivated and out of form Nani and Antonio Valencia, and a club that so lacked quality in midfield, that two men nearing 40 were the focal point of their creativity in midfield. On paper this club may look deep to some but for me it is littered with mediocrity of the highest order. And yet this very same club won the Premier League title in a runaway by eleven points. As far as I am concerned that just points a finger at the other supposedly top clubs in England who as far as I am concerned all had their heads up their collective behinds. But that looks certain to change this season. Manchester City was busy cleaning house and hiring Manuel Pelligrini while adding top talent in Jesus Navas, Alvaro Negredo and Fernandinho. And who says they are finished there. Chelsea has the “Special One” Jose Mourinho back in charge and he plans on mounting a serious challenge. Already they have bought Andre Schurrle and Marko van Ginkel amongst others with more signings to come I’m sure. And of course his main target is our own maladjusted bad boy Wayne Rooney......
