“Fergie, sign him up! Fergie, Fergie sign him up!” the Stretford End chanted over the top of Sir Alex Ferguson’s end of season speech. Ferguson had just claimed his 11th league title and United’s 18th, equalling Liverpool’s record, yet sections of the crowd believed there was a more pressing issue to deal with; Carlos Tevez.
Our little Argie had worked his arse off for two years for every minute he was on the field and our fans loved him for it. During his first season, his attitude seemed perfect. He did all he could for the team, he spoke often of his love for the fans and of his aim to spend years at the club. Everything was going well for him and his attitude matched that.
However, when things weren’t going as well for him, his attitude took a distinct turn for the worst. Dramatic head shaking when he was subbed off the pitch and speaking to the press time and again about his unhappiness at his present situation.
With Ronaldo going, the press seem to think United fans want Tevez to stay even more. That may be the case for many reds, but it certainly isn’t how I see it!
Ferguson tolerated Ronaldo and I suppose he had to. Once the decision had been made he was staying for the season, our manager knew if he really had a go that Ronaldo would throw his dummy out good and proper and that would only fuck up our season. So his petulance was allowed to continue.
After his tantrum when he was subbed against City, the front cover of Red Issue showed a shared thought bubble from Ferguson and Ronaldo which read ‘That’s the last time that will happen!’ or words to that effect. Fuck this, some stuck up wanker parading around like he’s bigger than the club. It was allowed to happen because the season was well under way but it couldn’t have been allowed to happen from the start of next season. The respect I have for our manager increases every time he ensures the reputation of our club is still in tact.
Having allowed Ronaldo to behave that way, there’s no way we can allow the same behaviour from Tevez. Whilst Tevez is some way from having the attitude Ronaldo has, we’ve already started to see the early signs of it. He’s already been bad-mouthing the club to the press and he’s already made a scene when he’s been subbed off. Sorry lad, you’ve just played 75 minutes for Manchester United and should be thanking your lucky stars. Get a fucking grip!
People argue that his reactions have been normal and that it just shows he wants to play. But is that the normal to deal with disappointment? If your boss tells you that you haven’t been put on a project that you were particuarly interested in working on, do you tut loudly and keep shaking your head? Do you shrug your shoulders and look at him angrily? Course not. If you behave that way it is a choice, not a reaction to disappointment. Tevez chose to react that way and whether it was for the cameras or for potential clubs or anything else, it is unnecessary.
Essentially though, whatever your opinion on his attitude, whether you understand him or not, he isn’t going to be happy here. He thinks he’s good enough to start for all of the big games but sadly he isn’t. Even Wayne Rooney missed out on the crucial derby day clash at Old Trafford this season, starting on the bench despite not carrying any injury, which shows nobody is intouchable. Tevez isn’t as good as Rooney and if he isn’t prepared to be rotated, then he is better off elsewhere. That’s not being harsh or unappreciative of what Tevez has done for us, rather looking at the situation realistically. He can play every single minute for Manchester City, he can double his wages and he can see how happy he is there. Best of luck to him.
What irritates me most about this is the way he spoke so fondly of the fans and how we now look because of our response to him. He chose to make a connection with us and before this season I honestly think we all just assumed he would sign. The manager has repeatedly told the press he wants Tevez to stay so I don’t know what else he wanted…? Should United have met the asking price even if they didn’t think it was an accurate value? But because the club hasn’t done that, Tevez is considering leaving, which is fair enough, but moving to our hated rivals? Is that what you do to fans you supposedly love so much? If he truly believes the club have fucked him over then of course he is entitled to go wherever he wants, but if he can forget about the fans so easily, I wonder why on earth he bothered to establish a relationship with us in the first place? If that relationship can be so easily broken then what does that say about him? Fans chanted over Sir Alex Ferguson’s speech for him but now he is open to a transfer to City or Liverpool?
I’m tired of this bullshit. I’m tired of these players with big egos thinking they can dictate everything, as if playing for Manchester United makes us the lucky ones, not them. The only players I feel lucky to have are the ones who feel lucky to be here. Players like Wayne Rooney who say they want to spend the rest of their careers here or players like Patrice Evra who thank God for being at our club. If Tevez thinks the best way to handle this situation is to question the manager’s decision to play him for only 45 minutes of a European Cup final and to speak negatively about the club to the press repeatedly, then he is mistaken.
I don’t expect all players to see United the way we do. I understand why Real Madrid were the goal for Ronaldo and I understand why Tevez doesn’t see our club as the be all and end all. I don’t expect every player who signs for us to behave as though we’re the best thing since sliced bread and worship the club and fans. But I do expect every single one of our players to show respect to the club, to have awareness of how privileged they are to be here, and to get on with their job without showing us up.
It doesn’t all have to be over for Tevez here though. There is always the possibility that he will realise what he is giving up on by walking away from Manchester United. But if he doesn’t realise that, if he thinks playing for City is a better option than playing for United, how can any of us argue that he is the kind of player we want wearing our colours?
Man Utd News 24/7
In response to our headline – in a word Scott NO.
The man obviously doesn’t understand the squad game and is more interested in getting himself selected for the world cup squad, hence why he wants playing time. Although, understandable, surely 20 to 30 games a season at United is better than 40 odd at the bitters?
Let him go!
no
and i hated the disrespect shown to sir alex after the arsenal match
united have 80 million
and the world of football has better strikers
I know what you mean, i’d like him to stay for his worth ethic but then I remember, we’ve got Park and Anderson, the latter who’s getting better and better (though had a shocker in the final but who didn’t?) I think the disrespect we’re being shown by some players is a joke, Madrid < United, Ronaldo < United, Tevez < United, what pisses me off is “Ronaldo: Madrid dream is dead” and now they flash the cash and it’s back on, I wish he rejects them, I really do but in all honesty, if he goes, he’s no longer our problem and we can focus better on next season. These players don’t know how lucky they are, the club means everything to me and just to wear a replica shirt at the game is a honour, let alone be out on the pitch being able to influence the team.
He’s played approximately the same number of minutes as Berbatov and Rooney. He played in last year’s Cl final and one half of this year’s.If he moves to City we will definitely know he’s fucked the fans over.Personally I thought his behaviour towards Fergie at the end of the season was disgraceful and worse than Ronaldo’s.
Don’t fucking want him. Or need him here. He has already said he will return to Argentina and wants to play in Spain before his career is over so there is a good chance we will see the back of him in 3-4 years even if we did buy him this season.
Why take a punt on a 25 million pound striker who won’t score goals on a regular basis and in his heart will always see another club as his destination.
Thanks for the important goals Carlos…and for being a ‘tryer’…
but fuck off while we still remember you with some fondness.
As long as he doesn’t go to the dippers i’ll be happy. He can even fuck off to citeh for all i care. Hopefully they pay ridiculous wages for him and he ends up scoring 10 odd goals next season.
I admired his commitment, I can relate to him as a player, the work he puts in, thats the type of player I am on the pitch so I can appreciate the effort. But I do think he, not us, has shown a total lack of respect, to the club and more importantly to SAF. Do we want him, No, I think we should be glad we are coming to the end of this contract. We do no need someone who is going to continually leak things to the press when he is not getting his way or disrupt the boa. Spend the money elsewhere
He’s been using the crowd to try and get a better deal for himself.
We have 80million(plus whatever budget Fergie had).If we waste money like that on someone with that attitude,then i will be disappointed.We can get 2 players for 40-45 million each who will be better finishers as well as better ball retainers.Good luck at Shity Carlos.
“if he thinks playing for City is a better option than playing for United, how can any of us argue that he is the kind of player we want wearing our colours?”
this sentence says it all-nobody is bigger tham the club-nobody-that’s a fact
Hell no! I’d be pissed if he stays. Fuck off to shitty.
Good to see opinion moving against Tevez. I’d be pleased to see that back of him, as much for his limitations on the pitch as his antics off it.
If he “loved” the united fans, the way he bangs on about, then how could he ever consider the bitters??
Dont trust an argie… coz they cause you bargie… look at Heinze, now he was a varierty 57… loved by the fans, but was a total turncoat… and Tevez is the same…
Bye Bye Tevez, we will buy someone who wants to wear the famous badge…
You fook off to Citeh and earn lots of money yes, but never be remembered as an icon of football, but merely a highly paid member of a circus act.
You really have talent, Scott.
Excellent article. Not harsh, not overemotional, spot on.
He’s been a good impact player for us coming of the bench in the sencond half!If he can’t appreciate playing as part of a team,then it’s time to move on!
I’m hoping for us to buy Aguero,Sanchez and Costas.Think we’ll be a very adept attacking force with these guys onboard!Plus they’d help us crack the South American market.
kidmeister i am not for sale.
LOL))
ARGENTINA!
in answer to the title, yes he is.
I’d never question Sir Alex though, and this goes for all players no player is bigger than the club, but i honestly do believe we will miss Tevez if he leaves.
He’s more than capable of scoring enough goals, his workrate and passion is always helpfull in a game.
In his first season he scored so many vital goals that won us matches and he’s done the same this season but to a smaller extent, i truly hope we sign him but if Fergie has got other plans we will move on.
ps – dont trust what is said by the press.
He cant stay after doing what he did to the best football manager on the planet.
I sure as hell want him to leave, and want him to go to city particularly.
Just like you said Scott, he can play every game there, earn loads of money and be “happy”.
Because once they keep winning f*** all, he’ll realize that his notion of happiness was a mistake.
I thank him for whatever good things he has done at this club.
Absolutely bang on Scott. I am just pleased we have Sir Alex who will fuck those players off when their ego’s get too big. United > Ronaldo +Tevez.
I thought the ‘Fegie, sign up’ chant at the end of the game was cringy.
Wonder if them same fans think the same now?
“ps – dont trust what is said by the press.”
what to trust ? his antics on the field ? ive had enough.
read the article. i’m not sure you’ve read it.
Against Arsenal in our title winning game, I couldn’t believe how long Tevez stood waving at the crowd when he got substituted. At first I thought, how fitting he gets a standing ovation on leaving the pitch, but then when he just stood there waving and milking it, I got properly irate with him. After all, this was my first ever chance to see United lift the trophy infront of me at OT, and the game was still undecided, and here was Tevez turning it into his testimonial. Sorry Carlos, but you and Ronnie can leave for all I care. Tevez, a great trier, with a reasonable level of skill, but no height, no pace whatsoever and a money hungry agent that has ruined any chances he has of being settled at our club.
I think Tevez has burned all the bridges to United. I don’t think he will stay even if we offer him £140K a week that apparently the Shity FC is offering him. He will realise his dreams (for cash) and play in great matches in the half full Council House.
Good player.. but if he doesn’t want to stay, then it’s fine.
It’s kind of annoying of him to pull out all those “oh I love the fans and the fans love him” stuff. He should realise that the asking price was too big for an (as you all say) ‘impact’ player coming off the bench.
25mil for a proven substitute striker ?
ya right.
I’m delighted with the articles today saying he’s definitely not coming back to OT, I hope they’re true. The whingin’ little maggot can feck off to whatever club he wants for all I care, to think he can dictate to Ferguson & demand a starting place, it’s ridiculous. He’s a good squad player, nothing more.
Put it this way, would you spend 26 Mill on Dirk Kuyt and guarantee him a starting place for every big game?
Didn’t think so.
Exactly Jig.A glorified Dirk Kuyt.Let me go get some tissues to cry for Mr Argentina before i continue posting.

Ok, i am good.I never appreciated him making a drama out of his situation.He loves the fans,he wants to stay at the club,we offer 26 million yet he still wants to leave.He should have been honest.”I want more money for myself”.I never slate someone for wanting money,at least be honest about it.
To be fair to him, the article with the heading he is not coming back, does not have any quotes if I remember clearly, so I give it the benefit of a doubt. But his attitute towards the end of the season was shocking. Far more worst than Ronaldo. At least Ronaldo showed Sir Alex some respect (apart from the derby game), but Tevez was simply horrible, on & off the pitch. As many have mentioned, Tevez played almost all the big games, but you can understand if he cant remember, because he did not do anything in them apart from chasing shadows!
Very, very good player but he has never stepped up a gear to be a great player. He was simply awesome as a 17-year old at Boca Juniors but he’s still the same player, although he might now be slower because it looks to me that he’s put on quite a bit of weight. What suprised me when given the chance to watch him on a semi-regular basis – that’s all he played – was how “technically poor” his first touch seems to be.
I suppose that it’s always possible for Carlitos to have one of those “damascus road” moments and come back to OT but the intervention of ManShitty means that he would have to eat a lot of crow, with less money guaranteed. It would seem therefore that he’s gone – but what do I know, I thought Ronaldo was staying !
The problem for Tevez is that SAF has made other plans – Berbatov’s signing means that it’s hard to see how Carlitos can fit in with Rooney available, too. Carlitos and Rooney would be fine – short, but OK; Carlitos and Berbatov would be OK, too. But with Rooney and Berbatov in the reckoning for first-team action, Carlitos is surplus-to-requirements. He won’t accept that nor, indeed, should he.
For Carlitos it’s all about the money – for every quid he earns in M/C is worth three or four or five times that amount in purchasing power in Buenos Aires. He’s repeatedly stated that he’s only going to play outside Argentina until he’s 28 – in four years’ time – and that he wants to return to Boca Juniors to play at La Bonbonera before he’s a fat old man. So, in reality, he’s a rental player.
Adding up his rental status and his non-essential status, it would seem that he’s too expensive to stay when he can actually get more money (for himself and for his owners) by leaving.
Besides, the money he commands would be better spend on other priorities. UTD need a “proper” center forward, a commanding midfielder, and a new keeper – and some more insurance for Rio’s wonky back/calf/etc wouldn’t come amiss, either.
Nobody is 100% sure of the situation regarding Tevez.
BUT…. Anybody who threatens the integrity of Manchester United should be shown the door as soon as possible.
SAF has already done this to Keane, Beckham, and Ronaldo to name but a few.
Personally i don’t think he’s good enough…and if a striker is really whats needed (which i’m not too sure about) then surely there are better ones in the market. Also I don’t think SAF wants him in the first place, even for the reduced price. We’ve seen the gaffer give contracts to players well before their existing ones expire specially to avoid the kind of situation we are in, so this obvious exeption must mean something. I don’t even think the asking price is really the issue..we’ve gone over the top almost every season lately (and as much as 12 million in berba’s case) so i dont think its this either. Besides his price was fixed 2 years ago when the loan deal was initially signed, United then had the first option to buy him should they wish to and i merely see the club exercising their right by not doing so.
There’s a bit of a FSW in him, always talking to the press and always ensuring he has the fans on his side. And the way he’s been talking of late only shows its all been calculated. His strenght as a player is his running all around the field and that shouldn’t be mistaken for his desire to play for our side. He’ll play that way wherever he is, but since he’s spoken and behaved the way he has he surely doesn’t value enough the club he is at. He’s not half as good as Rooney and not nearly as good as an unsettled Berba and if he wants their place in the starting line up by some divine right then i’d be glad to see him running around elsewhere.
YES!
I still believe Tevez only felt hurt by the fact that SAF & Gill were saying for 2 years that a deal would happen quite soon … Add to that his advisers who really want to move him on – and I’m not suprised any more about the situation.
I know 2 things: Tevez wants to stay in England, and Tevez wants to move back to the Boca Juniors in a few years time. If he’s an ambitious player who wants to win as many medals as possible in his time in Europe, he will sign for us. Hopefully his advisers tell him the same now that we are ready to pay £25Mio.
PARK IS BETTER THAN TEVEZ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oKBPgDI6ZY&
He’s tosh, let him go. He can’t pass, can’t shoot, can’t head the ball, runs with the ball with his head down so never finds a decent pass, and he can trap the ball further than I can kick it. He’ll be OK at Wastelands then.
Most expensive tin of corned dog the blue noses will ever buy lol.
I wouldn’t say that we’ll be better team without Tevez ,but despite his great running quality,he has nothing else to offer.
Not great pace,dribbling or finishing.
Look at Arsenal Eduardo.Half of Tevez price and four time less salary but far better player then him.
We don’t need Valencia(who the fuck is Valencia) for that sum of money when we have Park and Nani and I just can’t believe they can’t do something Valencia can.
We just need to accept that we have had the best team in the world for last two seasons and to continue like that will not be easy even with Tevez,Ribery,Valencia and Benzema together.
Tevez is good but he isn’t world class like Ronaldo. It will be much easier to replace Tevez, why should we have to put up with his drama stunts and flirting with rivals after all the support the fans have given him? He was having his own press conferences in the crucial closing stage of the season about his future and unhappiness. If other teams are ready to splash out 25-30 mills on him then be my guest. We can get someone else for that value, someone better and hopefully with a better attitude.
I used to like tevez but he can’t stop saying the wrong things and he only started with this bad attitude when maradona came to visit united’s training ground, blabbing he should play every week, no you won’t you’ll play when the manager says so.. We don’t need another EGO!. Fergie knows best, and he has proved it over the years, nobody bigger than the club, and everybody works for the team, if they can’t meet these simple standards then they’re gone..End of.
corea ive read the article, but i have my own opinion.
what is there not to trust? you must be having a fucking laugh.
Tevez was gold for us…it is important to remember. However, something changed, he is no longer the goal scoring threat he once was. He tried playing the Hargo role up front (which wasn’t his fault) and as a result he stopped scoring for us. We will never know what really happened with the ronaldo saga. Maybe SAF knew that ronaldo was going to leave us last year and was making plans to rebuild the team. Plans that included Berbatov and not Tevez. I can honestly understand the reasons Tevez was upset, but at the end of the day…good luck to you Tevez.
I agree with all comments above. As DentonDavy has stated I don’t see where Tevez fits in currently. Rooney needs to play most matches centrally, though some matches he can play wide. Therefore we need two wide midfielders. I’m still worried about central midfield. If Hargo doesn’t make a full recovery and Fletcher gets injured then we are without a class defensive midfielder unless Anderon can be taught this role to fill in.
Can Tevez play a wide forward role and/or if asked will he chuck his teddy out of the pram?
As I’m writing I’m listening to SkySport News. The Tevez deal is starting to unravel.
Tevez hasn’nt ruled out a move to Utd. Also it has been revealed that his agent Chewbaccha has final say on where he moves to.
Interesting, maybe after all its not the club “disrepecting “the little fucker.
wat is your problem with him scott, he is an excellent player and now your idol has left maybe he can have more of a chance
The muppet shudnt have got into a contract with such a dodgy character in the first place! Look at (apart from recently) how many times u see mascherano in the papers since he ditched that fucker kia. Jorabchian is a very smart man, who does not care where tevez goes, or who he plays for as long as he gets the most money
I just wanted to point out one thing about Tevez. I had suspisions about his characters since last season.
When we won in penalties against Chelsea last season in the Champions League, as the team lifted the trophy, i noticed one thing about Tevez, *He was wearing his shirt back to the front, so Tevez 32 was showing on the front* I thought it was weird, a bit selfish isnt it? No one else did that, not even Ronaldo, no one thought about themselves, but of the team and what they have achieved as a team. But heres tevez only worrying about how he can show off.
I dismissed it at first because i thought Tevez was just happy that we won and nothing more, but after what happened this season, I am not so sure. Only players like Gerrard point to the back of their shirts when they score, and after looking at some Tevez pictures when he scored for us and for west ham, I started to notice he did the same name pointing sometimes.
When you play for Manachester United, you play for the club, the badge on the front of your red shirt. NOT for the name of the back of the shirt. No one is bigger than the team, and this is why I would be happy to see Tevez leave!
coogie
he probably didn’t have much of a choice when he signed the deal with this agent. The question is, would we sign Tevez this summer for £25 million if he had never played for us. We currently have Rooney and Berbatov as recognised forwards with Welbeck and Macheda also part of the squad, we could probably do with someone else. But as Scott says, being part of a United team is all about squad rotation with all the games we are likely to be playing each season. Tevez wants to be the first choice so he is not the kind of player we want. He is a good player, just not great.
If there were more alternatives then i would be happy to see Tevez leave but who else can we realistically get for back up to Rooney and Berba?
great work rate
poor finishing except sometimes
technique not very subtle
seems to get his feet into tangle sometimes.
like him but not worth £25 mill + wages
As it stands I would be happy to see Tevez go. I’d only be glad if he stays if he shows real evidence of a change in his attitude. It’s time to re-build the One United ethos in the team, which was put under enormous strain by Ronaldo and Tevez, as was shown when it really mattered in the CL Final. Could be we can get a fresh start now, led by players like Vidic, Rooney ,Rio, Evra and the others who understand what it is to play for the club.
@James and Giles
Exactly, I must admit I don’t hold modern footballers in the highest regard.
I don’t deny they deserve the money they earn but using (mostly deluded fans) as a bargaiing tool to earn an extra £40k or £60k a week is beyond me.
I do not want to castigate Tevez but if he moves to the “bitters” then I think most of us will know, all the end of season guff was just posturing to get the best deal for himself and his agent. I hope I’m wrong but I’m becoming more and more cynical.
Loved to watch him play but what was the end result? More often than not, just a good run. We got what we needed for the 6-odd million that we have already paid but anymore than that at this point is just pissing in the wind and I am already wet. Thank you very much.
I am especially disappointed for the fans at OT that pulled for him by singing his praises. If this is how he repays you (and the rest of us by extension), then enjoy playing Europa Cup next year and good riddance.
citeh aren’t even in the europa cup!
oops. guessing I was giving him (and Barry) the benefit of the doubt. LOL
to be fair I would be annoyed if I was dropped every week for Berbatov
Manchester United Tickets
Another guy who took up the myth Tevez was dropped often. Check you stats please
No thanks. I would have been a bit more interested before the petulance. He’s a good player and I can understand the frustration when you don’t get to play after giving it your all but these childish displays shouldn’t be tolerated.
wow.. disrespectful to ferguson? is that what u guys think?
Tevez is the one being disrespected first.
Scott the Red, look at the statistics
Berbatov 29 starts 2 subs
Rooney 25 starts 5 subs
Tevez 18 starts 11 subs
obviously, tevez has played the least out of these three strikers. He has scored way more important goals than the others. If it wasn’t for him, Manu would not have won the league and the Cl in the 07/08 season.
Back to the 0809 season, Tevez didnt play at all against Inter Milan, and missed out on another few Cl matches when he had no injuries. After 4 goals against blackburn, back on the bench. After an excellent performance with 2 goals against fulham in fa cup, back on the bench.
You guys think that he should feel lucky to have played in 1.5 Cl final, well, he should played two full CL finals, he scored some important goals along the way to bring manu there. After some spectacular performances, he still has to warm the bench. Tevez deserves much more than this shit.
How can anyone treated like that respect the fucking manager?
How? Can anyone tell me how Tevez can fucking respect Ferguson?
Agree with the majority sentiment. The only way that he could stay was if he never complained to the press, never showed disrespect to Utd ever again, and lowered his price.
Yeah, how dare Sir Alex drop someone who scores 5 league goals? What does he know? How many strikers have flourished under Sir Alex anyway? Dear me. I am so disappointed that when it came down to it, Tevez’s explanation for leaving UNited was this. Reminds me of the way Heinze left. He gave up on wanting to regain his starting place and looked elsewhere. Unless it has to do with the bigger pyacheck City are offering him. But it can’t be that. Carlos Tevez can’t be all about the money can he?
@ Alvin
It is called rotation. Only Ron played almost every game out there.
And what if you sit on the bench the next game ? Come back and score another 2 goals.
@Alvin, go and check the starts for the whole season mate.Not just the League.Alvin may i remind you that Ole Solskjaer would come to our rescue time and time again only to be on the bench for the next game?Did he ever bitch about it?No.It’s called class and dignity.Something Mr Tevez has none of.You speak about disrespect?How about Tevez’s body language in the last month encouraging the fans to cheer for him over Ferguson?I don’t care who the fuck you are,at United you are not bigger than the club or Ferguson.Fuck off to city.
Well said Costas & Corea. My thoughts exactly. Premiership champs, Champs Lge Runners up, World Club champs, League Cup winners, FA Cup semi finalists, not a bad haul for a season. Fergie must have been getting something right in his team selections. Let’s count Tevez’s medals next year and see who’s right in all this.
Let me play where I can play
@corea
ur saying this is rotation yeah? How do you explain the fact that tevez started the least out of the three strikers. If it was really rotation, then it should have been close to equal.
Whatever man, i hope tevez leaves, he doesnt deserve this crap. Manu are shite anyway, theyre gonna regret treating tevez this way. Just watch Man City overtake Manutd in the league after tevez goes there.
Very good read Scott.
At first i tried to understand Tevez and his desire to play,but his too much talking against Fergie were a bit mean.
We’ve had great players throughout our history and the ones who tried to put themselves above the team always finished to leave the club.
As u said Rooney as well has been rotated but never complained and this show his maturity to accept Fergie decisions cos he is know is for the good of the team.
Tevez i guess -after all his comments-wanted to leave or he would never ever tried to put himself against the manager.
His “affection” for the fans wasnt so true afterall if now he is ready to signs for two of our most hated rivals.
Maybe he thought that declearing his love for the fans the fans itslef would have done everything was in their power to convince Ferguson to sign him (the chant his a prove),but playing this card didnt bring nothing good to him cos he thought he may have been more important than the manager or the team.
Nothing is bigger than United neither the players who serve the shirt so well in so less time,some great chamnpions showing their love to the club and to the fans with their football talking on the pitch rather than go to the press.
Thats what makes the difference thats why WE DID NOT SIGNED HIM.
