Seemed to me, just from the mans' terminology, that he was no real football fan. A late convert - a prawn sandwich eater. HE's entitled to his opinion irrespective of what nuerosis it stems from. What was disgusting though was the cheap and scurrilious fashion in which he tried to tarnish Fergie's charecter as a man. It was so poor that Fergie could sue easily on two fronts -
(1) He implied, with no evidence, that Sir Alex put business Jason's (his son)'s way at the expense of United getting a better price for Jaap.
(2) He implied that Fergie was secretly behind a consortium to overtake United with (son)Darren taking trying to get city backing. This explained his reticence to criticise the Murdoch takover in public while undermining it behind the scenes.
It was also disgusting that interviews with Giggsy and robbo were cut to make it seem less positive about Fergie when this was obviously not the goal of either. The editing of the accounts of the famous bollocking of Giggsy and Lee Sharpe, cutting from Sharpy's account to Giggsy's and back, suggested that Giggsy felt, like Sharpe, that it was over the top. The editing throughout was sickening. The voiceover claiming Fergie's disgust at players saleries while he was getting less might have had a basis in reality, if it wasn't for the fact that the footage was of Keano, implying that Fergie thouht Keano's salary was excessive!
It was sensationalist journalism of the most asinine kind designed to help Crick sell more copies of his book. I can't believe the BBC think this kind of second rate muppett journalism is worthy of airing. People can have a go at fergie or whoever, but this was just underhand and churlish. The music was just a carricature for fu*k sake, melodramatic and sinsiter, making it seem like an acount of Aushwitz instead of O T!
I did love the absolute abuse of Motty though!
