is start all over again.
Sell - Barthez, Blanc, Veron, Forlan, Silvestre, Brown and the Nevilles.
Keep - RVN, Giggs, Scholes, Keane (discipline him though) Beckham, Ferdinand and Solskjaer.
Build on that back-bone by buying players like, Mexes, Boumsong, Djibril Cisse etc.
Ideally, I think all Man Utd fans would like to see this sort of thing happen, but I'm sorry to say I think Ferguson is too British!
Look at the top 2 teams in England - Arsenal and Liverpool. they are both run by French managers, they both have French players like Pires, Henry, Cheyrou, Traore etc. It's like they are looking in at England, whereas Ferguson is looking out at Europe.
It must be said that France and the continental countries are producing top young players, England isn't! It is also easier for Wenger and Houllier to charm young French lads into playing for their teams, Ferguson tried with Mexes but it didn't work!
I mean if you were Phillipe Mexes, and AF came up to you looking slightly drunk (I'm sorry it's the truth) and you saw the way he is so strict in training, and he tried to charm you by sending you Xmas cards, you probably wouldn't go to his club.
But if Wenger/Houllier came up to you looking intelligent, calm, assured, you would go to thm surely!
What do you think? Is it a silly theory??
