Wasn't even the funniest thing in the interview. The drunk trying to explain the potential in his squad because 14 of his players were under 22 was hilarious. I'd love to see a list of those 14 players as off the top of my head Nani will be aright as will Hernandez but the rest are pure dog shit!

and the other 13 will all be over 30 by start of next season, with 4 over 35 if their contracts are renewed. Half their squad will be 33+ in 3 years time and that includes all their "stars".

Why don't any of these media arse-lickers see this, the scum have about 3-4 good (not great) PL players in mid 20's, the rest are either approaching veteran status (or over 35) or under 22 with <10 games under their belt. Of the middle age range only Valencia, Nani, Fletcher and (possibly) the mexican are currently decent PL standard and none are what anyone would call top CL standard players.

Does anyone really believe if Fergie had the cash he wouldn't have been buying some established low-mid 20's for £18-25m to refresh the squad on an annual basis especially after losing Tevez & Ronaldo in quick succession.

How many of this potential he claims to be so great at finding have come though the U18's and reserves and cemented a 1st team position in the last 10 years, Fletcher (maybe Rafael) and that's it. All the rest have ended up at Sunderland or other clubs. With that track record he's going to get at the most 2 1st teamers from the current crop. Most of his current under-21's are going to end up at Sunderland, Bolton etc for £5m like the rest over the last 10 years.

The "golden" generation of Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Nevilles, Butt - (any more?) which allowed them to focus on only having to buy half a team for 6-10 years only comes around once in every 50-100 years and personally I think he's dreaming if he thinks he has the same calibre in his current youth ranks.

Fergies claim to fame is not that he develops 1st team players from the youth team, virtually none since the Scholes/Giggs era, he spunks out £27m - Rooney, £18m - Ronaldo, £14m - Nani on "wonderkids" who obviously have great potential. I'll give him that he can spot those but he's also got a few wrong or ended up letting them go - Pique, Rossi, Tosic to name but a few.
 
I saw a seagull stood on a cow this morning.

Does this mean the world is going to end?
 
My take on the Cow by taggart is our cow (Tevez) is better than there cow (Rooney) so even taggart thinks Rooney is passes it.
 
come on we need a budding song writer to make a song for the derby with old McDonald tune, with a roo roo here and a roo roo there??
 
He's now reminding me of one of those people you see on the apprentice who is just about to be fired by Alan Sugar.All they do is go on about what they've done in the past and how good they are.Everyone can see this is a dead man walking and no amount of bluster,bollocks and bullshit can disguise the fact that the writings on the wall.

Someone's going to have to explain this.

Sir Alex Ferguson will meet Manchester United chief executive David Gill at 10am on Thursday to discuss Wayne Rooney's outspoken attack.

Rooney confirmed his intention to quit Old Trafford in a statement on Wednesday night, claiming a lack of investment in the first-team squad was the prime reason for his decision.

Ferguson has dismissed a suggestion that he might suspend the 24-year-old, who missed the 1-0 Champions League home win over Bursaspor with an ankle injury.

But Rooney's comments have created a stir the United boss is anxious to sort out.

"We don't want it to become a saga. We have the team to consider," he said.

"We will put it to bed tomorrow.

"I have not read all the statement but we will consider it tomorrow.

"David Gill and I have a meeting at 10am tomorrow morning. David has spoken to the owners tonight, which is important.

"It is really important for us to put it to bed.

"I am manager of a club that is trying to win a game on Sunday against Stoke City.

"That is the most important thing. The rest is a bagatelle."

Ferguson did show signs of being rattled by four days of intense debate around Rooney's career, which first erupted on Sunday morning.

"I am not going on with this all night. Stop it now," he said.

"It is a European game. You have had plenty yesterday. There has been plenty tonight. I am concentrating on the game. Failing that, forget it."

Asked about the possibility of suspending Rooney, he replied: "What kind of imagination have you got?"

Nevertheless, there must be the prospect of some kind of sanction following the devastating assessment of United's future provided by their number one player, who may never pull on a red shirt again such is the furore his comments have caused.

And Ferguson is clearly not convinced Rooney is making the right decision.

"Sometimes you look in a field and see a cow," he said.

"You think it is a better cow than the one you see in your field. It never really works out that way.

"Some players like to think the world is better somewhere else. It never really works."

So many questions have been asked of United's fortunes that Ferguson himself could be forgiven for having doubts.

After watching his side triumph thanks to Nani's sixth-minute effort, Ferguson insists he has none.

"To maintain the success at any club is not a certainty," he said.

"I always believe a four-year cycle is the most you can achieve. Very few teams can go beyond that.

"Last season we almost did it. We were one point short of winning the league.

"But we realised some time ago that Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville were not going to last forever. Therefore our policy is to develop footballers in the place."

He then recounted a story from United's last period of relative decline after 2004, which involved Rooney himself, and included the departures of star names Roy Keane and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"A player said to me Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo were not good enough and he wasn't prepared to wait," said Ferguson.

"That is the problem with potential. People don't identify potential. We are very good at it. I have identified it all my life. I know potential. I know where it can be developed and how to develop it. I have faith in it.

"That is what this club is about. When you see Manchester United at the moment, with 14 players under 22, you don't see the Manchester United for years ahead.

"We will invest in signature players when the time is ready. We were not ready this summer."

Apart from one exception, which is thought to be David Villa, who left Valencia for Barcelona.

"There was one player we would have liked to get, but he chose another club," said Ferguson.

"Some players don't want to leave their country.

"But Manchester United is a big attraction for any player.

"In terms of the future of Manchester United, there are a lot of things in my favour.

"If I told you how many agents phoned me in a week, saying a player would love to play for us - and I am not just talking about run-of-the-mill players - it would amaze you.

"We still have that fantastic romance, and respect from everyone.

"But we will be OK. I have every confidence. The structure of the club is good. We have the right staff, the right manager, a brilliant chief executive. There is not a thing wrong with Manchester United.

"We will carry on."

It all rather overshadowed Bursaspor coach Ertugrul Saglam.

"We wanted to perform to the best of our ability but I don't think we played very well," he said.

"I don't believe United played as well as they would have liked either, so it has not been a very eventful evening."

Maybe not on the pitch. Off it is a quite different story.
