No no no, this can’t be right…
In his long impressive managerial career, Sir Alex Ferguson has fashioned himself as a ferocious Braveheart figure, ruling his kingdom with an iron fist tucked inside a gorgeous velvet glove. And he’s had no problem slamming it down on player’s hopes and dreams - just look at Stam, van Nistelrooy, Beckham. He even dropped his lapdog Steve Bruce from an FA Cup final team.
So what was the hardest decision he’s had to make at United? The one which keeps him up late into the night, chewing rabidly on his gum? Leaving Park Ji-Sung out of the squad for last season’s Champions League final, of course.
“In many ways it was the hardest decision I have ever had to make, because Ji-Sung had played such a great part in the previous games against Roma and Barcelona,” spluttered the maroon-nosed Scot. Obviously lying.
Hey, Sir Alex, you know what else was a mistake? Letting Jordi go.

It is a big mistake and a biase decision by Sir Alex for droping Pak in the CL final match. Why dont he droped John Oshea instead who is the most weakest player and should rightfully be shown the exit door this season.The departure of Pigue and Eagles are another big mistake

You won the Champions League though, so why criticise the manager for the decisions he made - that ultimately proved successful - now?
