Alex Ferguson attacks Real Madrid morality
And Ferguson should be so happy, after winning the champions league so luckily late on wednesday night. Both champions league wins have been so lucky, right at the death.
The Moscow pitch came to Ferguson’s aid when John Terry slipped when taking his penalty, why is Moscow so unlucky for the Brits?
Real Madrid have made no secret of their desire to be chequebook champions, take note Michel Platini, all top european clubs build their teams by extensive use of their chequebooks. 75 million euros they will pay, and Ronaldo will be on his way.
Of course it will be a step down for Christiano Ronaldo if he moves to Real Madrid, they haven’t won much in the last years and are no longer the feared team of previous decades. It comes down to management, just as important as having good players. If Real chose a manager and gave him a few years to build a team, they wouldn’t need to sign Ronaldo.
Alex Ferguson has a perma grin on his face these days, he knows he nearly got fired himself in his early days at Man Utd, but was given the time, perhaps Real Madrid should learn from that and not worry about Ferguson’s franco comments.
