Ferguson brands Rangers liquidation a disgrace
Twelve months ago the Manchester United boss was planning a £10m plus swoop for Nicola Jelavic before the double whammy of administration and liquidation killed off the club he supported during his Govan childhood.
Ferguson has been in the spotlight this week following his verbals with officials during the Manchester United v Newcastle match but took time out to reflect on one of the major sports stories of the year.
“What’s happened to that great club is a disgrace, it’s a disaster,” he claimed. “Rangers, of course, are not Rangers as we know it. Obviously.”
Despite approaching his 71st birthday on Monday the Old Trafford boss shows no sign of easing back his workload after an incredible week of headline grabbing.
After claiming that Robin van Persie could have died during the draw at Swansea Fergie has hardly relented during a week in the spotlight.
Not content with his bullying attitude to officials during the 4-3 win over Newcastle Ferguson has followed that up with an attack on Alan Pardew and Newcastle.
‘Alan Pardew has criticised me but Alan Pardew is the worst at haranguing referees — his whole staff, every game,” Fergue fired. “He was at it for the whole game on Wednesday. He shoves the linesman and laughs about it, and he has the cheek to criticise me. It’s unbelievable. He forgets the help I gave him, by the way.
“The press have a good field day. They have addressed every possible angle. The only one they’ve not asked is Barack Obama. He’s too busy. It’s unfortunate I carry that because I’m the manager of the biggest club in the world. I’m not like Newcastle, a wee club in the North East.”
