Yeah but apparently it was the tipping point for the back room staff that Stam was a spent force :shakehead:

It was something to do with a new kitchen. Fergie didn't like his new kitchen?

Wouldn't buy that for a second. As if SAF was consulting statistics versus a what he saw on the park, which, if Stam was making more interceptions that made tackling redundant would have pointed to him playing just as well.

He went because of his book, which showed him up to be a potential whistle blower type. If you read it yourself you'd go off him too. A United player openly saying he didn't like training is somewhat off putting.

That Stam thing sounds like utter %@#$&!s.

As if Dave £#%&!ing Kitson was privy to Fergie's reasons for selling players ffs.

Just telling you what it said in the book.

There's more to it of course but cba elaborating.

Did it ever come to light who the England player was who's wife was getting rutted in the hotel pool in Dubai whilst he was asleep on the sunbed?

Crouches Mrs by redknapp wasn't it?

I remember when the SF appeared on football focus with a balaclava but also had tights on to hide his ginger legs. Pretty much gave the game away then.
