David Moyes, speaking with the Daily Mail, has revealed how he could easily have been lost to Everton if he had ignored advice from Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in 2000 when a Premier League club came knocking for the then Preston manager.
"I called Sir Alex and he told me to pop down to Carrington to have a chat, I can’t say I really knew him that well. You’d bump into him at games and reserve games and we’d had some dealings, initially when David Beckham came on loan to Preston and I was assistant to Gary Peters. We then went on to sign the likes of Colin Murdoch, Jon Macken and Michael Appleton so there’d been quite a bit of contact. But it was still good of him to give up his time and let me come to see him. We sat there and went through the squad — he knew every one of them — and he advised me not to take it and, instead, stay at Preston. Which is obviously what I did."
Oddly enough, Fergie had already interviewed David Moyes for the vacant assistant managers job at Old Trafford and turned him down, choosing instead to hire Steve McLaren.
"He did tell me someone else was in the frame, and the guy he gave it to went on to manage England, which shows that he gets those decisions right because we’ve both gone on to do OK. But I remember sitting there, jaw open just wanting to get there and start learning. He was telling me what the job would be, and what was expected, and an opportunity to work with him would have been hard for anyone to turn down.
"Even now, I’ll take any opportunity to learn from him. The Scottish Premier League invite Scottish coaches to a dinner every year and Sir Alex comes up and lets the coaches fire questions at him. And I’ll be among those asking him how he’s done things and why. He’s a source of inspiration for us."
Here's wishing David Moyes good luck for the future, but not on Sunday of course !!
Alex Ferguson is expected to make wholesale changes to the team that beat FC Porto on Wednesday night saying "anyone believing I could play the same side that defeated FC Porto is “off their heads”. I remember last year as he sent a weakened team to Barcelona with the sole intent of coming home with a draw, and remarkably, almost coming home with a win. That was a stroke of genious as far as I am concerned, but on a certain Manchester United forum I was on at the time, they were whining and whinging about Fergie's decision to do that. These same people were there at the end though basking in the glory of another Champions League win.
Despite the enormity of their meeting with Everton, Manchester United will be virtually unrecognisable from the team that started in Portugal. Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and Michael Carrick are all expected to stand down, with Edwin van der Sar and Dimitar Berbatov possibly joining them, although some will be on the bench in case of emergency.
The move may not sit well with traditionalists, however Ferguson insists he has no other choice.
“When I pick my team, no matter what it is there will be critics voicing a concern about me not playing my strongest team, not everyone agrees with changes. There are some supporters who want me to play my best team every game. That is impossible. If you look at Wednesday’s game you are off your head to think I could play the same team again."
The sheer energy expended in United reaching the last four of Europe’s number one club competition for the third season in a row means the men asked to do the bulk of the running will not be asked to put their bodies on the line again. It means Rooney is set to miss out on an emotional last four meeting with his former club, with Ronaldo due to sit the game out as well having toiled on his own up front for the last half hour.
“I am in a difficult position because we have got so many hard games coming up, Somewhere along the line I have to make changes. The speed of the game has changed. Look at how fast the Premier Division is. The intensity of the matches is the reason English teams have a head start in Europe.”
Yet Ferguson also denies he is devaluing the FA Cup. Replacements such as Park Ji-sung, Darren Fletcher and Carlos Tevez are all senior internationals who have been integral figures in United’s pursuit of an unprecedented quintuple this term. It is easy therefore for Ferguson to reject the theory he is playing a weakened team.
“Hand on heart, the FA Cup is important, we don’t want to have a defeat at this time of year. No matter what the defeat is, we have to answer for that.”
There is also the little matter of Ferguson’s impeccable record in semi-finals, which dates back to 1990 and currently stands at eight. Nevertheless, United will not start quite the red-hot favourites they were expected to be, with their manager placing his trust in a defence which, with Rio Ferdinand back alongside Nemanja Vidic, kept its first clean sheet in six matches on Wednesday night.
“Defensively we did really well on Wednesday, we were back to something like our best which is what we need now. We can take encouragement from it but we can also take the understanding of what that partnership at the back means. ”
As individuals, Ferdinand and Vidic are outstanding, both on the six-man short-list for the PFA player of the year award. However, as a pair they are even better, standing alongside Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister as the best partnership of Ferguson’s time at Old Trafford.
“Experience is important at this time of year, it allows you to be composed under pressure and gives you a presence. But it is more than that. It is the partnership. I keep on about Bruce and Pallister, who were together for seven years and hardly missed a game. Through that they got a consistency and an understanding and knowledge of each other’s capabilities. Now it is the same with Ferdinand and Vidic.”
Sir Alex has once again had a swipe at The Fat Spanish Waster, Rafa Beneathus. Rafa seems to think he and his team are a cut above the rest and showed complete disrespect and contempt toward Sal Allardyce and Blackburn Rovers last Saturday. Rafa really needs to think before he speaks as on several occassions this season he has made himself and his club look like a bunch of amateur clowns to be perfectly honest. His attempts at 'mind games' are baffling, often resulting in bad results for his team. He really should learn to button it from now on and let his team (try) and do the talking.
Fergie spoke about David Moyes and his excellent Everton team who are a challenge for anyone as they play at the moment.
"Moyes has a young squad that will get better. The young players he has in the team, allied to the ones he has brought in, have a good future. He’s done a great job. Moyes has been there for five years now and he has built a good football club. Irrespective of what Rafael Benitez says – he called them a small club – they are a big club. But that just points to [Benitez's] arrogance. There’s one thing about the arrogance he has shown. But one thing you can’t forgive is his contempt for [Blackburn Rovers manager] Sam Allardyce last week. When Liverpool scored their second goal against Blackburn; he made a gesture which suggested the game was finished. It was absolute contempt and I don’t think Sam Allardyce deserved it. Sam is a guy who has worked so hard for the League Manager’s Association and looked after young players in the game. He didn’t deserve that. He had to play a team that was weakened, and to get that kind of contempt… I don’t think any other Liverpool manager would have done that."
It seems to me now that every day I wake up we are never more than two days away from the last game United played or the next one. It is a ridiculous situation to be in. They are currently in the middle of having to play 5 games in 14 days! But Micheal Carrick says their season schedule has been "relentless" - and he wouldn't have it anyother way.
"It is relentless, we are on course to play the most number of games we could possibly play in one season. That is the aim. There is a game every three or four days now and they are all going to mean so much. That is what you want. It is great to be part of it. We are in a good position. Fingers crossed we will succeed."
Carrick is wary of an in-form Everton side ahead of Sunday's FA Cup clash, with the likely absence of former United striker Louis Saha hardly making a dent in their confidence given the number of times they have won matches with no forwards at all this term.
"It will be a tough game, Everton have improved an awful lot as the season has gone on. They have had injuries, especially at centre-forward, and proved they can cope."
For all those still standing in the Champions League, FA Cup and fighting for the Premier League title, Michael Carrick is warning them all that Manchester United are back to their best.
For a team who previously went 15 games without conceding a single goal, the last five games have all produced a score for the opposition. That run of five games has seen United’s title credentials called into doubt and the defence of their Champions League crown was looking shaky to say the least. But Sir Alex Ferguson's team became the first English team to beat Porto on their own patch as they booked a semi-final meeting with Arsenal.
When you have a couple of bad results people start questioning you," Carrick said yesterday. "But we have always known what we are capable of and last night we got back to what we do best. We defended well as a team and looked really solid. All of a sudden everything looks great again.
Carrick understands, though, that the picture can change depending on how individual results go. A meeting with Everton in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley offers its own challenge, although for now the talk is of Arsenal and a renewal of the rivalry between Ferguson and his Emirates counterpart Arsène Wenger.
Carrick knows the two-legged tie, the first in United's history against another English club, will be eagerly anticipated.
Obviously, we know each other inside out, sometimes, you can have quite a cagey affair, on other occasions it can open right up, as it did between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. I am sure they will be great matches for the neutral to watch, but hopefully we will come out on top.
Cristiano Ronaldo's match winner kept United on course for the quintuple.
It is relentless," Carrick said. "We are on course to play the most number of games we could play in one season. That is the aim. There is a game every three or four days now and they are all going to mean so much. That is what you want. It is great to be part of it. We are in a good position. Fingers crossed we will succeed.
Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Cristiano Ronaldo's wonder strike that delivered Manchester United a Champions League semi-final showdown against Arsenal.
Ronaldo's early 40-yard strike earned Ferguson's side a 3-2 aggregate victory as United became the first English side to win in Porto.
"It was unbelievable. A magnificent hit," Ferguson said. "It took them by surprise and the keeper had no chance.
"To do it at that point gave us a real platform to go into the game."
Ronaldo struck after six minutes and Ferguson, who became the first manager to reach a sixth Champions League semi-final, said the early goal was a huge bonus.
"We wanted to start the game quickly with good tempo ... but to get a start like that, no-one can expect it, no-one can expect that type of goal," added the United boss.
Ronaldo himself described the goal as the best of his career, admitting he could not wait to watch it again.
"It is the best I have scored," he said. "It was a fantastic strike and I can't wait to see it again on DVD. I am very happy with it."
Porto rarely looked like breaking through as United kept their first clean sheet since 11 March, having conceded 11 goals in their last five games.
And Ferguson, who was taking charge of his 150th Champions League clash, admitted Rio Ferdinand's return after a three-game absence had made a huge difference.
"Rio coming back was a major part of our success," said the United boss.
"He and Nemanja Vidic have a partnership that goes back three years. They have a great understanding of the game and there is a good balance between them.
We are two good footballing sides, so it should be a terrific semi-final against Arsenal
Sir Alex Ferguson
"We defended very, very well and that was the key to it really, because if we get back to that foundation of not giving away goals then we can do well.
"They had to chase. That early goal had them on the back foot. I don't think they made any chances in the match."
United have now stretched their unbeaten run in the Champions League to 23 games, winning a second leg away from home for the first time since the 1999 semi-final triumph in Turin against Juventus.
"We tried to change and spread the team around the field and hope Manchester would make some mistakes," Jose Gomes, who replaced suspended Porto coach Jesualdo Ferreira, said.
"We feel very bad. You can understand our emotions. We feel that wasn't a very just result. They scored one goal and it was scored by the best player in the world."
United's semi-final with Arsenal will be the first time they have met English opposition in a two-legged European tie.
Arsenal beat United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the season, and Ferguson is predicting another classic encounter.
"It would be tough no matter who we played but the fact it is another English side gives a different type of spice to it," said Ferguson.
"We are two good footballing sides, so it should be a terrific semi-final. Our game earlier in the season was fantastic. It was the way football should be played and we will look forward to it.
"The first leg is at home, so 1-0 would be perfect for us. But it is not going to be easy."
Just one post from me today. Liverpool out Of the Champions League, Chelsea through to face Barcelona in the semi final and tonight Manchester United play Porto in their second leg match of the last 8 needing to win to get through, but do you know what? Who cares? Who really cares about all of this when we remember that today, Wednesday 15th April 2009 is 20 years since Hillsborough.
That day 1000s of people attended a game to watch the team they love, Liverpool, play in the Cup Semi Final at Hillsborough football ground, Sheffield. Ninety six of them never returned home again.
One day justice will be done for the families of those who lost their loved ones that day. It's been a cover up of huge proportions and it is still going on now.
The sad fact is the Hillsborough stadium should never have been used in the first place, as the ground did not hold a valid safety certificate. The FA moved games from Hillsborough for six years after 38 Spurs fans suffered crush injuries during the 1981 semi final against Wolves.
In the inquest after the accident Lord Taylor had also documented evidence of crushing in the Leppings Lane End pens during the 1987 and 1988 semi finals. Liverpool football club had objected about being allocated Leppings Lane after complaints of crushing the previous year.
Well, here's news for Lord Taylor and all those involved in the enquiries, people want the truth; just give us the truth and clear the Liverpool fans’ names because people around the world still think the Liverpool fans caused the disaster, when they were the heroes that day.
These people didn’t just die in an accident, they died through lack of care, lack of care from the police, and they were all saveable !!
There is no way on God's earth a Liverpool badge would ever be published on this blog, it would get me blasted by United fans worldwide. But on the 15th April every year I'm sorry, but that badge will be here and it will be BIG.
Ninety six people lost their lives that day and they will never be forgotten.....and THEY WILL NEVER WALK ALONE !!!!
The Justice Bell
A schoolboy holds a leather ball in a photograph on a bedroom wall the bed is made, the curtains drawn as silence greets the break of dawn.
The dusk gives way to morning light revealing shades of red and white which hang from posters locked in time of the Liverpool team of 89.
Upon a pale white quilted sheet a football kit is folded neat with a yellow scarf, trimmed with red and some football boots beside the bed.
In hope, the room awakes each day to see the boy who used to play but once again it wakes alone for this young boy's not coming home.
Outside, the springtime fills the air the smell of life is everywhere violas bloom and tulips grow while daffodils dance heel to toe.
These should have been such special times for a boy who'd now be in his prime but spring forever turned to grey in the Yorkshire sun, one April day.
The clock was locked on 3.06 as sun shone down upon the pitch lighting up faces etched in pain as death descended on Leppings Lane.
Between the bars an arm is raised amidst a human tidal wave a young hand yearning to be saved grows weak inside this deathly cage.
A boy not barely in his teens is lost amongst the dying screams a body too frail to fight for breath is drowned below a sea of death
His outstretched arm then disappears to signal thirteen years of tears as 96 souls of those who fell await the toll of the justice bell.
Ever since that disastrous day a vision often comes my way I reach and grab his outstretched arm then pull him up away from harm.
We both embrace with tear-filled eyes I then awake to realise it’s the same old dream I have each week as I quietly cry myself to sleep.
On April the 15th every year when all is calm and skies are clear beneath a glowing Yorkshire moon a lone scots piper plays a tune.
The tune rings out the justice cause then blows due west across the moors it passes by the eternal flame then engulfs a young boys picture frame.
His room is as it was that day for thirteen years it's stayed that way untouched and frozen forever in time since that tragic day in 89.
And as it plays its haunting sound tears are heard from miles around they're tears from families of those who fell awaiting the toll of the justice bell.
Who would pay £22 million for a goalkeeper. Well, it would seem Fergie is prepared to do so. Manchester United are preparing a £22 million bid for Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
The People says Sir Alex Ferguson is desperate to sign a long-term replacement for Edwin van der Sar with Ben Foster still considering his future at Old Trafford. The United boss sees Valdes as a top quality replacement and cannot, yet, offer Foster the first-team football he craves in his bid to make England's World Cup team. The Barcelona keeper's current deal finishes in June 2010, and, having rejected the chance to open talks on a new contract, Fergie hopes the lure of Premier League football can snatch him away from La Liga.
Valdes is a product of the Barca youth system. In the 2003–04 season, he emerged as first-choice goalkeeper, and in the 2004–05 season, he played in almost all of Barcelona's matches helping Barcelona to their first league title in six years. He also won the Zamora Trophy for the best goalkeeper in Spain.
I wouldn't believe it if it were fiction. Italian Federico Macheda came to Manchester United's rescue for a second successive time in the Premier League as the 17-year-old scored the winner in a 2-1 win at Sunderland on Saturday.
Second-placed Liverpool had earlier piled on the pressure with a 4-0 home win over Blackburn Rovers and champions United once looked set to be overhauled at the top of the table when Kenwyne Jones cancelled out Paul Scholes's opener.
Macheda, however, turned in Michael Carrick's wayward shot with his first touch seconds after coming on in the 75th minute.
Thanks to his decider, United restored one-point lead over nearest rivals Liverpool, who have 70 points from 32 games.
Chelsea nearly threw away a four-goal lead at home to Bolton Wanderers but hung on for a 4-3 win which saw the visitors pull three goals back in nine minutes.
Guus Hiddink's side retained third with 67 points, six clear of Arsenal who won 4-1 at Wigan Athletic.
Tottenham Hotspur moved up to eighth and boosted their hopes of qualifying for Europe after overcoming West Ham United 1-0 at home.
In the other end of the table, Newcastle United gave Alan Shearer his first point as manager, but remain in the relegation zone after a 1-1 draw at Stoke City.
Middlesbrough recorded a rare league 3-1 win over fellow strugglers Hull City while West Bromwich Albion let a lead slip in drawing 2-2 at Portsmouth.
Considering next Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal second-leg tie against Porto, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson rested Edwin Van der Sar, Patrice Evra and Cristiano Ronaldo at Sunderland.
Scholes gave United a 19-minute lead, heading Wayne Rooney's fine cross into the far corner before Jones bundled home from close range to equalize 10 minutes after the restart.
Macheda came off the bench, in place of Dimitar Berbatov, to turn home the winner on 76 minutes to claim a priceless three points.
Chelsea maintained their title challenge in dramatic fashion.
They seemed to have secured a victory after an hour by opening up a 4-0 lead through Michael Ballack, Didier Drogba with two and a Frank Lampard penalty.
But Bolton took advantage of their defensive vulnerability and they were suddenly trailing 4-3 as Andy O'Brien, Chris Basham and Matt Taylor each scored from 70th to 78th minute.
Although the visitors went on to threaten to draw, Chelsea held their nerves and Petr Cech kept out any further goal.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been out defending the Glazer family after the latest financial statement from Manchester United's parent company revealed debts of almost £650m. According to some fans, this is a sign of a club in crisis but that seems a little excessive to me personally.
However, Ferguson has never had any complaints about the Americans, who have backed him in the transfer market and have stayed out of the spotlight and, while he accepts debt was a major factor in the Glazer buyout almost four years ago, the United boss does not feel anything is likely to change as a result of Thursday's announcement.
''Their support has never changed, 'I do not know what these figures tell you. 'There has always been debt since Malcolm Glazer took over the club. Most buyouts are like that. But there is no change as far as I am concerned.''
For all the criticism their financial structure has attracted, the Glazer family have never given any indication they are concerned at the amount of debt hanging over United. They still return vast profits on their business dealings, with wages still well under 50% of turnover.
I'm still waiting for this 'crisis' some fans go on about. I don't see it happening any time soon and this is right in the middle of a credit crunch. Malcolm Glazer began his business career with a van and $300 in his arse pocket and is now worth well in excess of $1 billion so I would assume from that he has a rough idea of what he is doing. Some fans just need something to moan about maybe. Or one day they might be proved to be right, in which case I'll eat some humble pie. But for now, enjoy what is and we'll see what the future holds....Back To Home Page...
If you want the best in football then you must invest plenty of cash and no one can accuse Manchester United of not doing that, their wage bill is now a stunning £121 million.
The Sun says United's wage bill has increased from £92 million per year last year to £121 million now. This is an increase of 30%.
The rise comes after improved deals for Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
United’s Premier League and Champions League Double last season saw them splash £13.3m in bonuses, compared to £8.6m the previous year and now Chief executive David Gill is United’s best-paid non-playing or non-coaching employee on £1.7m a year.
The champions are still second in the big spenders table with Chelsea’s bill at £148m — a rise of 12 per cent.....
Alex Ferguson has won everything, several times over, but what he most craves now is more European glory. He has now stated that that he will almost certainly retire as manager of Manchester United should he lead the club to the Champions League trophy in 2009 and 2010.
Speaking with CNN he said:
"I'd love the club to win more European trophies than they have done and I think I've made this point a few times over the years. I don't think we've won the number we should have won. There have been years when we've been unlucky and years we've been disappointed, and there've been years when we've thrown games away, and that sort of gives a kaleidoscope of what football's like. If we could win a couple more European trophies I then would definitely quit.".....Back To Home Page...
ASTON Villa coach Martin O'Neill has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association for his behaviour after his side's 3-2 defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.
Not surprising really as too many managers these days seem to lose their heads and go charging out to the ref to complain about decisions that have already gone, we can't rewind the clock and change anything. Why oh why don't they bide their time and write about it in their many column inches they seem to have or voice their opinions in press conferences?
The charge relates to O'Neill's conduct towards referee Mike Riley following the final whistle in the Premier League game at Old Trafford. The Northern Irishman was angered by the amount of stoppage time that Riley added on at the end of the 90 minutes.
'What was it? Five minutes added time? I'm sure we wouldn't have got it at Villa Park,' he said after Federico Macheda's 93rd-minute winner.
O'Neill also complained about what he saw as an unpunished foul on Villa winger Ashley Young in the build-up to Macheda's goal, as well as several earlier decisions.
'The officials also got three offsides wrong,' he said.
Last month Sir Alex came out on several occessions and played down any talk of the quintuple saying it was a pipe dream. Many thought he was just playing it all down, trying to take the pressure off his players. At the time United were on a run of 26 games undefeated and another run of 15 games without conceding a goal, so I was a bit unhappy with his scepticism.
But watching United play over the last month, they look they have reached the 'wall' that marathon runners talk about. One minute they were running along at the the head of the field looking fine and then suddenly, WHAM, they hit the 'wall' and their legs have gone, their heads have dropped and they seem incapable of that explosive, quick fire football that enabled them to break records and go weeks without a hint of defeat.
Against Porto last night, they got caught out by the elctric start the Portugese made. Porto charged at them like men posessed and nicked an early goal. For 20 minutes I was praying for half time to come so Fergie could work his magic.
The game finished 2-2 and now United must break another record to advance further in the Champions League. No English team has beaten Porto away from home in 16 attempts but now that is the mission facing United.
It is not impossible, far from it, but it's going to be so very hard. For a start, we need our defence to be intact and we must field Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra and maybe, just maybe the golas will stop leaking in.
In midfield we need Anderson back, he has boundless energy, there are no goals from him yet but he can bully players and lend his stregth to the cause. Paul Scholes is a living legend, some say he is too old but still I have 100% fath in him, he too must play. Alongside these two guys must be Ryan Giggs, there are no more experienced players in the world than Giggsy and for this game we need his steadying influence. Ronaldo is an automatic choice, but please God someone tell him not to be so lazy like he was against Villa, he never once tracked back to help Neville who was being killed by Carew and Agbonlahor. Up front we NEED Berbatov, desperately. You can call him lazy, uninterested or whatever else you like but that's simply not true. He is as cool as cucumber under pressure. He can hold the ball up, he can make great innovative passes and he is agreat playmaker and he scores for fun!! Alongside him is the lovable Wayne Loony. This guy is my hero. No matter how lost the cause may seem, no matter how low the players around him are, he will always give 100% and will run and run and run.
Having wrote this now, I actually feel better myself. These guys are our heroes and we love them all. They NEVER let us down and this team I have selected here CAN and WILL go to Portugal and do what no other English team has ever done before them.
The tiredness and body language of the guys last night makes it seem impossible. But we must have faith and BELIEVE.
At the end of this season, no matter what United win, someone somewhere MUST look at the fixtures situation for the Prem League. As can be sen by the sudden demise of 'invincible' United, this fixture pile up is just not good enough. United are currently beginning a run of 5 games in 14 days. No one else in the Champions League is having to face that!!!

David Moyes, speaking with the Daily Mail, has revealed how he could easily have been lost to Everton if he had ignored advice from Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in 2000 when a Premier League club came knocking for the then Preston manager.
