What a big bully/child, take your pick

This is the sort of shit that makes Ferguson hated, not cos United are successful, we didn't all hate Bob Paisley or Joe Fagan when Liverpool were more dominant than United are now. To recall two young players who are getting great experience over his son getting sacked is pathetic.

It certainly can't help the players' development if they aren't going to get first team football at a decent level, so in the long-term doesn't help Man U (which is his job).

It also raises questions of nepotism in Man U's lending policy.

We have to bear in mind that we have only heard one side of story. Maybe there is more to it than has been reported.

I can't remember which club it was but someone else wanted the players on loan and were told they weren't going anywhere then Fergie Jr got the job they were there within 24 hours

Fair enough. He's always backed his sons up eg Not speaking to the BBC when they did a docu about his son Jason.

He's got to recognise that his sons aren't up to scratch when it comes to football and probably only got their jobs because of his name. His sons are average and there are a lot of better people being denied a chance because of the Gentleman's Club mentality in football.

But it also says in the article that it was written in the loan contract that they can be removed at Manchester Uniteds request. Seems there was an understanding between father and son of how the players would be played that can't be gauranteed under a different manager. Fair enough but seems a bit cunted...
