Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

So, SAF is surprised at getting a letter considering his comments about naming a potential future England manager on the eve of a big game which may decide the outcome of each team's season?

So unsettling a threat; misconstruing the focus of a close rival or manager is considered OK in a scotch filled world when you're supported by a rat-boy-esque, retired right-back friend when you're knighted?

Call it gamesmanship, or 'Fergie-time', whatever - this red-nosed coward needs so much leverage that he can't beat a side fairly. Non-United supporters have known this since we saw the time Kevin Keegan cracked, but that's OK when disturbing a better close rival, who you're trying to unsettle folds and you win a shallow title which will only be registered in a panini/merlin sticker album. The point is, this clown, regardless of his success, has a capability to win a title outside a football pitch.

That's 'Fergie-time'. A completely, smart guy who will use any advantage or angle available to make sure his privileged position can't be challenged, yet most people outside the red half of Manc kmows is wrong.

In a non-United world (not including jealousy by close rivals wishing we'd thought of it first), this makes his latest claims a joke so laughable, I had to write a short essay on it! 'Surprised'?'. Me, never, but I'm surprised red-nose has not been called up on his favoured tactic of unsettling a close rival before.

I respect SAF as a great manager, but as a human being, he's well beneath Big Ron. At least one is honest about their ways.
