Sir Alex Ferguson turns Horse Whisperer
by Oliver Holt, dateline 21 March 2012, Daily Mirror 9/03/2011

SIR ALEX FERGUSON broke a 10-year silence last night to launch a furious defence of his decision to appoint former racehorse Rock of Gibraltar as Manchester United’s assistant manager.

Speaking from the throne room of his new purpose-built command cell deep below Old Trafford, the United boss said the one-time wonder horse would defy critics by helping him usher in a new era of success at the once mighty club.

Sir Alex, who appeared to be alone in the room and spoke directly into the camera, did not mention rumours that former assistant Mike Phelan had been fired for ‘making eye contact’ with BBC presenter Gary Lineker after Saturday’s defeat to Northampton Town.

“The Rock knows more about football than anyone I’ve ever met,” said Ferguson, who was wearing military fatigues and a cowboy hat given to him by his hero, John Wayne. “Anyone who says different is a bloody idiot.

It's not even funny.

Although I think work should start on the underground command bunker immediately

One of the thing I've always loved most about Fergie is that he treats the press with the absolute contempt they deserve. The thick £#%&!wits genuinely believe that they have an important role to play. Is that what passes for journalism these days? Why should he speak to any of them? Ever? I would love if he banned all the £#%&!ers until he retires. They're a £#%&!ing irrelevance anyway.

Utd win the league, lift the trophy, celebrate with the fans, walk off without giving the media any interviews. I think that could be quite amusing.

The article is what happens when they try to write something original. Apart from that they just paraphrase things that have been posted online.

Oliver Holt wrote an article about how proud he was of Rob Shepherd when he got jailed for a year on a GBH charge a few years back. Shows the sort of shithouse he is.
