Alex Ferguson unhappy with Premier League fixture list as Man United handed 19 away games

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his disappointment with the Premier League fixture list after it emerged that his side will be expected to play half of their fixtures away from home.

With trips to Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool forming part of the season’s fixtures, Ferguson has vented his anger at other sides being a handed a home advantage for 50% of the games.

“Over the course of the season it will work out that one in two of the games we play in the league will be away from home,” he fumed.

“It’s something the FA should take a look at, or we could be in a situation like last year where a side that I’m not the manager of wins the league.”

Premier League fixtures announced

Ferguson has complained about the Premier League fixture list in the past. He was unhappy in the 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2011-2012 seasons, as well as all the seasons before, after United were forced to play all 38 games against teams that started the match with same number of players.

He also expressed his annoyance that they had to play each of the previous season’s top nine sides.

“When you’re playing teams that have a chance of beating you then there’s always the chance you could get beat,” he explained.

“I don’t thinks it’s fair that we should be expected to take that chance.”

He has also revealed his frustration at the fixtures for the 2013-2014 season that are due to be announced in a years time.

“I find it incredible that not only will we be expected to participate in games, but we will have to win them in order to pick up 3 points,” he blasted.

“They’ll be picking the referees for us next.”

(seriously though, its a studs up high foot into a blokes stomach - all the manure wankfest in the media about how it was a bs red card is ridiculous)

the ball is coming from over his sholer, his eye is always on the ball and there is clearly no intent. His foot is barely above waist hieght and this is how almost every soccer player attempts to control a ball coming from such an angle.

No way is this a red card, however in normal speed, live the ref does not have the chance to work all of this out based of replays and slow motion so you cant blame him.

parksey

you just need to have some common sense as the ref there. yes you run the risk of being sent when you make that type of contact but there was zero intent. for all nani knew he was about to bring the ball down with that foot nekminnit it's planted in arbeloa's hip who jumped into a challenge nani didn't even know was happening.

it's different to de jong's tackle in 2010 as that was pretty much premeditated assault.

plague
06-03-2013, 04:19 PM
Yeah me agree with you but the fact is (as in 2010 final) half the world shouted 'shit call' and the other half said 'good call'.
Ref would have seen point of contact and had a micro second to judge intent. He made a call based on what he saw.
I'm cool with it,

Sorry, I quoted you Parksey but plenty of other people have used the word 'intent'.
Well it appears the 'intent' part of a foul was written out of the rule book 17 years ago for everything other than handball.

So whether there was 'intent' there or not, it's irrelevant.

mourinho's scorched earth policy would mean you might win the UCL in the next couple of years, but then he'd bolt and leave you falling apart.

Moyes has done well with **** all coin..... so he's either very very astute at getting good players for cheap, or turning cheap players into good ones, or getting the most out of his cattle.... or all three.

Mourinho was the guy we needed to come in though. He wouldn't be long term but he would come in, galvanise the players, bring success and then move on. It would be much easier to bring in a Moyes on the back of Jose instead of right now in terms of the pressure Moyes will be under. I don't think he will come in and send us down the gurgler but it just doesn't seem to be the right fit for me. I hope I'm wrong.

Not to mention that Fergie will continue to Mentor Moyes as he has done for the best part of a decade. United is a big name club, but it only got that way by being smart. Fergie hand picked Moyes so you can be sure it's the right choice.

This.

The biggest problem is going to be the likes of RVP, Rooney, Giggs etc getting a telling off from a bloke who is real terms hasn't won anything.
Lets face it, talent wise this is one of the poorer squads United has put out over the last 20 years. For Fergie to get them to win (comfortably) is a testament to his man management more than anything.

I find it interesting when considering the Guardiola appointment.

I reckon Fergie has known a while that he was going to retire. Guardiola - was he considered? Approached? Or has he found out he's not getting it and then left for Bayern?

Moyes may struggle to attract the big names, but is more likely to go to Ferguson and accept his advice. Guardiola, and even Mourinho for that matter, I'd consider to be the polar opposite.

They've made this call for a reason and they got their man!

Also, Fergie sticking around could create a problem Liverpool had when Shankly stepped down. Shanks remained around the ground which undermined Paisley's management. Hence why Shanks was asked to stop showing up.

Terrible game. United are not looking good at all. Not sure if it is the Fact that Moyes is not Fergie or if his team selection is always wrong. there seems to be no bite (not Surez like) from the front third and better possession from the middle. Rooney still killing it though.

Time to do what? Further ruin the confidence of title winning players? This man has inherited a top four squad that won the title last season, spent 60 million pounds on it, and turned it into a shambles. He's just lucky that he's at United because he wold have been sacked by now at any other top club.

Everton are much improved this season. They currently sit above us and their players are talking about how much has changed in terms of mentality since Moyes left. Check out what Tim Howard said in the press the other day.

Of course this isn't our best squad ever but it's still a top 4 squad IMO.

The thing that you're not considering is that this same team, even if it wasn't as strong as City or Chelsea, was winning games comfortably against the lower teams which isn't happening this year. Moyes is the reason why.

Personally I would have him go before he gets his hands on this promised treasure chest of cash to use to re-invigorate the squad. I'd rather we had someone who actually knew what they were doing to have access to that.

Regardless I'd say he will get until December/January at the very least to show that he is the man for the job.

3 seasons will make or break Moyes. good things are happening and it isn't all doom and gloom as so many make out. Our backline that was a rock last season is being held together with Gaffa tape and Defensive Mids and our Midfield isn't the solid working system that it was with so much chopping and changing.

Now that Mata is getting into things, Rooney is able to focus on attacking instead of dropping into defence and I hope to see a better partnership between Matta and Kagawa and Valencia to build from. Perhaps even Falini can be what Moyes hoped.

we're only 9 points off of the top 4 and if we're now finding our form when we play Liverpool and City we can still make a final run for the champions league.


Honestly though, United have spent too long puying players rather than building them like Fergie did in the early to mid 90's. If we were producing talent like the days of old we'd be better prepared for times like this when the last of the golden era are moving on.

I dont know what some sections of the media and fan base are on about.
The David Moyes you have now is pretty much the same one that was at Everton.
If they wanted better results they should have signed a better manager.

that's what pretty much everyone has been saying.


and Man U as the weakest club in the final 8 are our preferred draw

yep but you guys are probably second worst.

i've read reports that the search for a new coach has begun as the glazers are not exactly happy to trust moyes with this transfer kitty that is supposedly there for the summer. he was brought in to continue to be competitive on a tight budget but has obviously done the exact opposite: blowing huge money as the team slipped down the table. i'm not sure who the candidates are but i seriously hope klopp is one of them. he's the man, for me.

obviously this could be complete bullshit but hey i'm kinda excited.

Klopp would be great for United. You get the sense that a lot of their players have no time for a manager with no stature in the game.

But why is every club linked with him? Is he off contract or has he said he wants to move?

parksey
17-04-2014, 05:22 PM
i think it's just a common idea that Dortmund can't go any further as they sell off their best players when the time comes. Klopp moving somewhere like utd where he can really build something would be the obvious move for him and his career.

The scariest thing that could happen to the prem is if Klopp gets the job. He'd immediately know how to use players like Kagawa and Mata and he'd still have the likes of Rooney and RVP.
and yes they have a problem at the back but just about every club does at the moment.

United doesn't have a bad squad, I agree they were just poorly managed.

It would be sad though if someone like Martinez or Simeone goes there.

klopp strikes me as a mourinho type who gets the players onside early due to his infectious personality and professionalism. i'm sure they'd have respect for a guy who has won multiple league titles, reached the champions league final and has his teams play tremendous attacking football.

watch us sign van gaal, though.

Klopp & Manure just don't make sense to me.

Maybe it is part that Klopp is one of 2-3 potential future Arsene replacements in my eyes, and that bias is clouding my judgement. But..

Klopp has thrived at an underdog club. Where he has been given full control. In which the playing style, club culture, etc have all been able to be moulded into what he wants to mould it into.

Manure is an old boys club. The moment any midfielder is put on the park, he is instantly compared, and lessened, to Scholes and other Co92 guys.

Doesn't Rooney have a clause in his new 1billion p/w contract that says he gets a say in transfers? Isn't he allowed to go to the club board, above the manager, and say "sign us a centre back" and when the club is going to sign someone, they run it by him? Is Klopp really going to tell Rooney where dafuq to go?

When Klopp makes those heaps obscure signings, like Aubemeyang, what are the old boys club going to think? He's instantly an enemy, until proven quality. That's how United fans/etc treat new players. When Klopp persists with Kagawa at AM, as opposed to LM, how long until Manure fans riot? He's played SFA games at AM but whenever I bring up to a Manure fan that you have the best (or one of) AMs in the world on the bench or at LM they go "yeah but did you see how shit he was at AM that one game".

If Manure sign Klopp, within 2 seasons he will leave via "mutual consent" and with a "misalignment of ideals" IMO.

Fergie was a genius. He controlled the circus. Manure are the type of club who need a ringleader like him. Like a Mourinho/Ancellotti/Benetiz type guy - who thrives off the circus.

United is not an "old boys club". Ferguson made a habit of shedding old players and freshening up the squad on a regular basis. Vidic, Evra and Rio will all be on the way out at the end of this season. Rooney does not have the power to tell the manager who to sign. That is ridiculous.

United have also consistently bought young players/no name players over the past 10 years. For every RvP there has been 5 Mame Dioufs or Bebes. They don't always work out but the fans and the players never seemed to have this "enemy until proven quality" mentality that you say they have.

Most United fans have been crying out for Kagawa to play in the hole. A lot of fans I know have been calling for Rooney to be dropped or sold for a few years now. I don't really think you know what you're talking about in that regard.

Klopp's personality seems to be perfect for the job. He's confident, well spoken and would bring the attacking football that United fans desire and expect. Besides, United aren't a circus like Chelsea, City or Madrid. They want stability; Moyes was just never the right choice.

This is your opinion, which seems to be the complete opposite of most Manure fans. They love Rooney, and want to and do base the entire team around him. Most United fans are actually agreeing that in a full strength lineup, neither Mata nor Kagawa play because Rooney is too important to play the 10. Every single United fan bar you I've spoken to does not see Kagawa ever playing the 10, nor do they want him to.

Problem here though WLG is that most Man Utd fans have NFI and are nothing but console generation who believe the hype.

The situation Man utd find themselves in is not all down to Moyes. Sure the bloke has ****ed up and dug the hole deeper but the hole was already dug by his predecessor not strengthening the squad in recent seasons. He managed to eke out a comfortable title with a shit side on the basis of RVP scoring a shitload. Some of his signings leave a hell of a lot to be desired Young?? Jones?? Fabio?? Not exactly mugs but not exactly worldbeaters either.

How they never got serious on Bale beats me particularly when he had a love affair with Giggs for years and Bale is a similar type with speed and dribbling skills. Matter of fact 2-3 years ago they could have picked Bale up from Spuds for less than the 15-20 million spent on Young

Haha you really don't have a clue what you're talking about, but I'll bite.

Current average age of the squad is around 24 if I remember correctly. De Gea, Welbeck, Cleverly, Rafael, Januzaj, Smalling, Jones all under the age of 25 and regular starters. On form they are all good to great players.

The Pogba thing I don't really get because the fans wanted him in the side but his fallout with Fergie saw him shunned. That was it. He should have played and I'm sure Ferguson regretted his treatment of him.

Kagawa. Yeah? Well I'm sure you frequent United fan forums and know a heap of United fans so you must be well informed on that point. Probably just talked to your mate from Gosford who manages United on FIFA or something. As for Rooney, a lot of people are bitter about his actions over the past few years and feel like he's declined significantly in what he can do on the pitch. Still he's someone you want in your team when he's on form.

United have been a stable club for the past 20 years plus. Apart from right now there hasn't been any real crisis or scandal of note to do with the club itself. If anything your beloved Arsenal have been more of a circus due to the fact that they have been a massive disappointment for the best part of 10 years.

Cheers.

Ferguson had built the foundations for a strong defence with the likes of Jones, Smalling, Evans and Rafael waiting to take over from Rio and Vidic.

In midfield he placed too much faith in Cleverly and Anderson, who both haven't lived up to their respective potentials, and I think he had banked on Pogba and Ravel Morrison coming through which obviously went wrong. Midfield is where he let us down and people knew this during his tenure but somehow he kept overlooking this area when it came to transfers.

He left Moyes with probably the second strongest attack in the league on paper.

Yes guys like Young were average signings but they weren't bought to be world-beaters, they were squad players. Gareth Bale chose to sign for Spurs ahead of United and then chose to stay with them as he wanted to repay the faith they showed in him. A few years later he's the hottest player in the league and obviously no one can compete with Real Madrid when it comes to transfers.

Fact is Moyes had a strong, young squad with a winning mentality which he managed to turn into a pile of hesitant, directionless and negative also-rans despite spending the best part of 70million pounds on it. He is to blame and anyone trying to bring Ferguson into it is kidding themselves or is just plain dumb (see Mark Bosnich's analysis on FSN tonight for further proof of that).

Man United have reacted to the pressure from the fans and I think they have reacted too soon. Moyes wasn't really backed in transfer market in an attempt to put his own stamp on the team. Whether that was Moyes own fault or the new team upstairs that were replaced at the same time I'll never know.

I think if United go for Van Gaal it'll be the wrong call. As Parksey said it's a short term appointment.
