"Nonsense, just nonsense."
At the training base in Carrington, west of Manchester, Ferguson slammed a newspaper onto his desk.
This startled several people in the office, and they all looked at the Scottish coach.
"Jazz, what's wrong?"
Chief Assistant Coach Mike Phelan stepped forward.
"Read it yourself."
Ferguson pushed the newspaper over casually, turned around and sat on the office chair.
Mike Phelan picked up the newspaper from the table and found that the Sun had reprinted an op-ed on the front page.
The article was written by Charlene Lahiri.
As soon as McFerran saw this name, a graceful and charming English beauty immediately came to mind.
The beauty is beautiful, but the content in the article is very sharp.
For example, Charlene Lahiri mentioned in the article that Manchester United's peak moment should be from 2006 to 2009.
At that time, Manchester United had Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Carrick and other stars in the midfield and frontcourt, as well as famous players such as Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic in the backcourt.
They were all in their prime.
Veterans Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville are also still going strong.
Therefore, the Red Devils and Manchester United in those years almost swept the Europa League.
Mike Phelan is not surprised by this view, because it is true But for the next few words, let alone Ferguson, even Mike Phelan was angered.
In the article, Charlene Lahiri believes that since Cristiano Ronaldo left the Red Devils, Ferguson's team has been resting on its laurels.
Ferguson is more thinking about his retirement and has long lost his aggressiveness and motivation.
"In the past few years, Manchester United has been like an old man living on his last breath.
He is getting older but does not admit that he is old."
"After his last retirement declaration due to lack of trophies and the announcement to stay in the team, Ferguson no longer had the ambition to continue to lead Manchester United to create glory.
His persistence was more about wanting to draw a glorious sentence for his Red Devils era. ” "Everything the Red Devils are doing today is just to satisfy their aging head coach's competitive spirit."
When McFerran saw this, he couldn't help but steal another glance at Ferguson, and sighed in his heart, no wonder the old Jazz was so angry, who else could not be angry after being ridiculed like this?
Looking further down, McPhelan himself was angry.
Charlene Lahiri once again sharply pointed out in her column that Manchester United's performance in the past few years has been unsatisfactory, and another very important reason lies in Ferguson's shortcomings.
"Those who think Ferguson is a master tactician think more from the perspective of performance, but in the football circle, Ferguson is famous for his stubbornness.
He has always only been willing to make small improvements in the four-four-two tactics.
He was unwilling to make revolutionary changes, and the reason behind Manchester United's success from 2007 to 2009 was not Ferguson, but Queiroz."
"Quiroz is the real tactician.
After he entered Carrington, he helped Ferguson abolish Manchester United's rigid 442 tactics and replaced them with a continental European tactical style.
This made Manchester United in those years , the tactics are more flexible, full of flexibility and change.”
"After Queiroz left Manchester United, Ferguson's rigid tactical thinking once again hampered Manchester United's pace.
Mike Phelan, who replaced Queiroz, was far inferior to his predecessor, causing the team's overall style to take a big step back.
Coupled with the aging of the players, the gap between Manchester United and the top teams in Europe is getting wider and wider.”
"I believe that all fans who watched the 2011 Champions League final will not think that Manchester United and Barcelona are teams on the same level.
It was a competition between two teams of different levels."
"Even in the Premier League, the home base of the Red Devils, Manchester United's dominance has been challenged by teams such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
Coupled with Southampton this season, Manchester United's advantage is becoming less and less obvious."
"The most obvious one is the 2011-2012 season.
Ferguson originally planned to retire at the end of the season, but as a result, Manchester United lost the league title due to a tragic reversal by Manchester City in the last round.
As a result, he was unwilling to retire empty-handed.
Ferguson announces postponement of retirement."
"It is not difficult to see from this point that Manchester United's overall strength has been declining."
"In the final analysis, the cause of Manchester United's current predicament is none other than their coach, Ferguson."

"From a competitive perspective in professional football, Ferguson is undoubtedly a great head coach because he has won almost all the honors a professional coach can get."
"But if you look at his contribution to football, Ferguson is not considered a great man.
Among the current coaches, he is not as good as Guardiola, not as good as Rehagel, and even not as good as his assistant coach Queiroz, let alone Even now, crazy Bielsa is still leading the development of football tactics."
"From the perspective of a football practitioner and senior fan, I believe that the enterprising Bielsa will be able to lead the vibrant Southampton to defeat the lifeless Manchester United led by the aging Ferguson."
After Mike Phelan hastily read this article, he was so angry that he fell to the ground hard.
“Excessively outrageous and ignorant” Looking at his angry look, he was almost ready to curse.
He actually said that I was far inferior to Queiroz.
I'm not as good as that Queiroz guy But after venting for a while, McFerran suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at his immediate boss again.
The old knight is still angry at this time.
"Sir, don't take it to heart.
Everyone knows that this reporter is a unequivocal Southampton fan."
Ferguson remained silent, obviously still upset.
"Hmph, at her age, she knows how to play and she actually said that I'm not as good as Queiroz, I" When he said this, Ferguson suddenly raised his head and stared at him.
Everyone at Manchester United, especially at Carrington, knew that Queiroz was a thorn in Ferguson's side.
It is said that when Queiroz was going to coach at Real Madrid, Ferguson persuaded him.
Later, the Portuguese failed to coach Real Madrid.
After class, Ferguson invited Queiroz back to Manchester United.
But within a few years, Queiroz seized the opportunity and once again chose to leave Manchester United and go out to coach the Portuguese national team alone.
Ferguson was angry for a long time because of this.
Because Queiroz has always been the most ideal successor in his mind.
Asking himself, Mike Phelan also had to admit that in Ferguson's mind, he would never be as good as Queiroz.
As for the Portuguese, they certainly have the ability.
No, not long ago, a British reporter went to investigate the reasons for the rapid development of football in the United States in recent years.
As a result, in 1994, the United States invited Queiroz to write a more than 100-page outline for the development of American football, and then established the Major League Soccer in 1996.
Since then, American football has ushered in an era of rapid development.
Therefore, some people say that Queiroz laid the foundation for the take-off of American football.
Mike Phelan, who knew all this clearly, felt depressed, and his complaints against Charlene Lahiri became even deeper.
Yes, I know, I am not as good as Queiroz, but you don’t have to be so straightforward and say it in the newspaper.
Anyway, I am the chief assistant coach of Manchester United and the most prestigious figure in English football.
If you say so, where can I put this face?
But McFerran's thoughts didn't last long, and Ferguson quickly stood up.
"Mike" "I'm here" Mike Phelan responded immediately.
"Inform the Ministry of Information that from now on, I will ban Charlene Lahiri and her newspaper, the Southern Echo, and give me a warning to the Sun and tell them to be careful."
When McFerran heard this, he hesitated a little, "Sir, warn the Sun, this is not good, okay?"
"Don't talk nonsense.
They dare to do this at the critical moment of winning the championship.
Why don't we dare to do this?"
Ferguson almost became furious.
He has always been a master who will retaliate when he is near, so he is not easy to mess with.
Seeing how strong the old Jazz was, Mike Phelan could only bow his head and agree.
"I will inform the players again that they will win against West Ham United at the weekend no matter what."
At this point, Ferguson almost gritted his teeth and shouted word by word: "I will make them despair."
Three hours later, the London Sun headquarters Editor-in-Chief Rebekah Wade received news from Manchester United conveyed by her staff.
"What warning" Rebekah Wade suddenly became furious.
"I guess, in the UK, we are the only ones with The Sun to warn others.

When will it be Manchester United's turn to warn us?
Do we need Ferguson's consent to report or not report anything?"
"Well, editor-in-chief, actually, Manchester United's attitude is not so tough, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Rebekah Wade interrupted her men directly.
"We've already called you, but if you still don't want to be tough, do you want someone to announce the ban on our Sun News?
That would be called tough."
Rebekah Wade was not usually someone to be trifled with, so the Sun News under him was also notoriously difficult to deal with.
On weekdays, none of those celebrities are polite to The Sun and respectful to Rebekah Wade.
Manchester United's Ferguson dared to issue a warning Against him "Okay, you dare to warn me, if I don't reciprocate politely, others will think that our Sun News is easy to bully."
Rebekah Wade immediately pressed the phone on the table and shouted, "Steven, come here."
A minute later, a breathless Steven Howard appeared in Rebekah Wade's office.
"Go, I'll give you one afternoon and write me a manuscript immediately."
Steven Howard was immediately excited.
The editor-in-chief personally gave the order.
Isn't this a good opportunity to flatter him?
"Chief Editor, the title is" "I made up my own topic.
The theme is that Manchester United has no hope of winning the championship.
Ferguson will definitely be empty-handed this season."
Steven Howard was stunned for a moment.
This theme was a bit "Why can't you write it?"
Rebekah Wade was a little unhappy when she saw his dazed look.
Why are two of my subordinates so afraid of Manchester United and Ferguson?
After all, The Sun is still not the uncrowned king.
"Oh, no, write it, I can definitely write it."
Steven Howard immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then you go and collect dirty information about Manchester United and Ferguson for me right away.
You must write a powerful commentary for me, preferably one that will piss off Ferguson to death."
Steven Howard nodded hurriedly, but he was sweating in his heart.
Darling, unlucky Ferguson, unlucky Manchester United, how did you get into trouble with our editor-in-chief?
Steven Howard can completely predict that if this article in the Sun is published, there will definitely be an uproar.
If Manchester United endures, that's fine, but if they dare to fight back, The Sun will be eager to make news By then it will definitely be a series of wars of words.
Steven Howard's eyes gleamed when he thought of this.
War of words is good.
Once there is a war of words, won't he, the chief venomous tongue of the Sun, have a chance to show off his talents?
Well, let’s do this:
