Sir Alex Ridicules Blatter !

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson believes FIFA president Sepp Blatter is being mocked within the game for uttering "so many ridiculous" statements that damage his credibility.

ALL United fans were angered when Blatter appeared to liken United's refusal to release winger Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid as slavery.

Speaking with GQ Magazine he said: "I think Sepp Blatter is in danger ... or has reached a point now where he is being mocked within the game. Whether he is getting too old, I don't know. But things can happen to people in power. Look at some of the despots in Africa." Now that is a classic quote, my hat comes off to Fergie for that little gem !

Ferguson said he was not likening 72-year-old Blatter to a dictator, but that he believed the game's top official should not utter such statements.

"All I'm saying is that, from a position of great power, he has uttered so many ridiculous statements that he is in danger of seriously damaging his credibility, so, when he came out with that stuff, it created a furore and rightly so, the year after the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery." Does Sir Alex have no fear. To set about the President of FIFA in this manner is not the kind of thing you see too often, Brian Clough, God rest his soul, was the same.

How Would We Ever Manage Without Michel Platini ?

This weekend UEFA President Michel Platini had many things to tell us on the future of our beloved game of football. According to recent investigations made by UEFA, one of the main problems causing the dramatic differences of quality between rich and poor clubs, is that the poorer clubs cannot manage debt as well as the richer ones. God alone knows where he got that idea from. I think it also belittles the intelligence of the guys running the smaller clubs. Personally, I think he would have sounded a bit more grown up if he had said the smaller clubs are not guaranteed the cash that the bigger clubs are, which ultimately threatens their ability to make regular repayments. But who am I to criticise Platini or The Slave Blatter !!

He then said: “But there is a wider question, as to whether people can just play the free market, UEFA is concerned first and foremost about the spirit of the game and balance of competition.“

What a clown. I can just see it now, an email arriving on Fergies computer the day after he wins another double next year.

Dear Fergie, well done my son, another Premier League, Champions League double, amazing. Bad news though old boy. Because you did so well last year it's not fair on the minnows of the game like Chelsea, Arse, Liverpool etc etc so, I'm very sorry, but you can't buy anyone this summer, you have to stick with what you've got. Merci beaucoup, tres bien et aurevoir !

Yeah right, can you imagine Fergie's reaction, he'd turn the reddest he ever has and fly to France and convert Platini into a post op transexual !!

According to recent Club releases, Chelsea and Manchester United owe a record of over 1.2 billion Euros due to excessive loans. Platini stated his awareness that rich and poor clubs will always exist, but the taking in of debt is what causes most of the disadvantages between the world’s various leagues. He has only allowed the recent buying of Manchester City by a foreign investor, as it was the only way to save the club from going bankrupt. LMAO - like they were going bankrupt, he thinks we're as stupid as him. Yet some clubs could not share the same fate, as last year Scotland’s Gretna FC seized to exist due to the excessive loans taken just to remain in competition with the Old Firm (Celtic and Rangers).

During his term, Platini is expected to implement other rules and restrictions to the richer clubs, showing a President capable to work for the “good of the game.”

We all wait with baited breath for the next load of 'merde' he comes out with !!
