Story of ferguson greed

[@k1k2lee]

[@Badger69-96]

@k1k2lee this is what happens when egos clash, it's the same in the dressing room 🙄

[@huna1950]

He went against a man that was known to have never lost an argument in his life…..ooops

[@janetmarshall7171]

[@BrianPeterSimpson]

He's a legend

[@TonyMontana-zl8pz]

This passion led us to the glazers

[@RobertBurke-tq9zu]

The interviewer wasn't expecting Sir Alex to talk about the American civil war lol.

[@gbenga1338]

The man still wears his wedding ring. 😍

[@BrianPeterSimpson]

Training footballer's and horses are very similar in certain ways there athletes . He has the eye for it

[@brettpage6722]

He doesent train horses tho, just buys them!

[@tq6892]

Managing a football team and training horses is not similar at all. SAF isn’t a trainer either.

[@AdamSabir1]

@@brettpage6722To buy horses you need an eye for them, just like how he bought Ronaldo. There is a similarity there.

Rock of Gibraltar Big boys got rid of him Don't mess with the Irish

[@leecorcoran6174]

Alex thought he had 20% and coolmore said noooop it’s 10% , I’ll see you in court 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@1Jameskelly]

Well said... He met his match!! And Roy Keane warnt him... Don't mess with these guys... But he didn't listen

[@jamieharrison7669]

[@MufcMarc]

Living lengend ❤❤

[@JaYb97716]

He's another bloke who shits shaves and showers. Media got to you? #freetommy ❤

[@200degrees.]

Verwy pwoud he was ,

[@RobertBurke-tq9zu]

Has Sir Alex and Magnier spoke since their fall out?

[@frankelforever14]

Doubt it, two massive egos. Alex messed up big time here, he could have had many great years association with them but chose greed over enjoying a hobby he clearly loves.

[@RobertBurke-tq9zu]

@frankelforever14 What was the falling out over again? Breeding rights or am I completely wrong.

[@frankelforever14]

@@RobertBurke-tq9zu yes breeding rights, Alex thought he was a part owner of the horse despite never paying a penny for him. Magnier offered him 2 foals a year as a goodwill gesture but Alex's ego got the better of him and he went to court feeling that Magnier had used him to promote the horse. Naturally the ruling was in favour of Magnier as no money had changed hands.

[@suzannetownsley3702]

There’s some cheeky bastards in here😂 grow up he’s an old man that’s achieved what he put his mind too.

[@1Jameskelly]

He's a bully who lost that war

[@NuclearNadal14]

It's his passion for horse that got United bend over by the Glazers.

[@RG-5834]

He looks very relaxed and casual, although he seems to be a little intoxicated 😁😁! His speech is slurred. Having said that, Sir Alex is an out and out legend whichever way you look at him!

[@EricPollarrd]

Probably on plenty of meds. Altho it clearly doesn’t effect his memory!

[@TM-yr3pc]

He had a major stroke. Doing well considering.

[@hughjass8430]

Ironic that AF made the same mistake with RoG as many of his ex players did. He got abit too big for his boots and overstepped the mark.

[@JaYb97716]

Imagine supporting a cruel sport. I guess Ignorance is bliss. Animals should be cherished, not used. They have all the senses we have. Incorrect conditioning. While I'm here #freetommy ❤see ya,❤.

[@johncopeland3826]

He is on record wanting to help out skint Rangers beat Celtic to the League , by selling two players on the cheap during his time at MU .....its known as " dyed in the wool " loyalty ..and pathetic too .

[@tq6892]

I’m a Celtic fan but have a lot of respect for him. He’s a Rangers man through and through but he’s the greatest manager in history.

[@huna1950]

Was too much made of that…it didn’t happen would have been a total mutiny if it did Celtic amd Utd two Catholic teams and close until largely Fergie He’d have destroyed his even back then name if he’d done that Ok to do that with Micky mouse ….sorry I meant Preston amd Darren but don’t mess with the green side otherwise you’ve got another horse type situ amd really turn half your home city against you

[@YNWA2024SLOT]

He seems like he can barely talk

[@davidhooman]

Its called getting old you tit

[@traimitchell5043]

Is call old age

[@padraigodowd946]

I could never understand him at any age

[@vinieditz1]
