Anderson in multiple criminal cases?

I still haven’t an idea of why Ferguson put up with Anderson. He’s done away with much better players for far less than what’s written about Anderson’s lack of professionalism.
I think it was down to Fergie mellowing somewhat as he aged.

There's no way 90's Fergie would have tolerated Anderson at all. He'd be thrown out by the scruff of his neck.

That's the only real reason I can think of.

07/08 he was very good. By 09/10 he would’ve been given a chance to step up, same as Nani, but didn’t really take it. But by then the ridiculous neglect of the midfield had started with clearly no funds to buy anyone better. Good spells at the end of 10/11, start of 11/12 and midway through 12/13 kept him from being total deadwood Fergie had to get rid of.

I don't think he was ever "very good". He had his occasional spells of good runs, but for most parts was a very frustrating player. Fletcher, Carrick, Schools basically compensated for him most of the times.

I get what you're saying, but there were some performances in 07/08 that were immense from a 19 year old.

Some immense performances is overselling him for me. He had brief spells within games where looked capable of developing into something special. He also looked out of place at some point in pretty much any game I watched him.

Think he might have been a happy cheerful character though, sometimes that can add value to a group of people.
