Lousy Lousy Lousy


Sir Alex has done many incredible things over his many years as the groomer of the Red Devil's. However, his one mistake was re-hiring Mr Queiroz. Queiroz is one of the most defensive minded managers you can find on this planet. Get 1 goal and defend the lead.

Sir Alex has built his team on attacking flair. Get 2 steady centre-backs with 1 holding midfielder protecting them. That's enough for defence. It's all about the attack. 2 attacking full-backs who are fit enough to bomb up and down the flanks. A creative central midfielder to orchestrate the plays. 2 flamboyant wingers who can bring in crosses from everywhere or cut infield to score themselves. Right up the field, he prefers 1 predatory poacher and another hustler who has the lungs to outrun any defender. That's the Ferguson style of football that made so many become fans.

However, Mr Queiroz is a totally different story. You can tell when he's in charge. Midfielders and full-backs drop back to defend the lead and long-balls start raining into empty space to burn the precious energy of the precious forwards. But his worst quality has got to be his money face. When he left United for real madrid, many were already predicting his downfall. And fall he did. What a lousy season. Disgraceful by any standards.

Madness saved Queiroz cause Sir Alex decided to give him another chance. And what did he do? When Sir Alex announced that he wasn't retiring so soon, Uncle Queiroz said he couldn't wait even though Sir Alex said Queiroz was most likely to succeed him. Bloody power hungry bugger. And now where is going to? To coach portugal. Ha. Land of money face. There's another one at United creating disharmony. When will money be enough for these guys? chelsea have already secured the services of quite a number of money faces. Good luck to them. Scolari leads the pack with newbie Bosingwa tying up the strings. It's all about the money. So go on, follow uncle Queiroz. Follow the money and see what becomes. As if real madrid was not a lesson enough.
