Vieira - the offensive begins/Ferguson rant (merged)

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Off the back of Mancini's declaration yesterday...apologies if posted elsewhere.

He's bang on, they just can't admit the truth. You agree with the timing?

I had a little giggle to myself when I read the article. The timing is immaculate and what he said is spot on.

I do like PV

I'm curious as to why he would he take his coaching badges with the Welsh FA?

yep. in hindsight, Roberto bringing him to the club was a stroke of genius!

In fairness,manure have won every single game since Scholes returned except one,and he didn't play in that.
Much as I hate the half-blind rag twat,how exactly does a winning team show signs of weakness?

Hope he becomes our manager one day.

I am convinced he has both the profile and talent to become one of the very best around.

The players have spoken before how he can sit down and watch a game with them and doesn't miss a thing, picks out things they didn't have a clue about.

Sadly, I think he will do Marwood's job before he does Mancini's.

Its true long term but they have a ready made response with tevez coming back after mancini said he'd never play again, not a sign of strength.

I think he was talking long term.

Possibly because Scholes is nigh on 38, it's a public concession the club did not have any other viable options.

Is Scholes going to play for another five years, Giggs? No, didn't think so.

Its what he says about Pogba that made me sit up.
