The UK media have been practically drooling today over the release of Sir Alex Ferguson’s second autobiography. But based on the “revelations” that have been announced so far this morning, it all sounds rather boring.
We learned that Roy Keane was intimidating, that Ferguson thought Beckham’s problem was when he fell in love with Victoria, Sir Alex Ferguson was approached twice to become England manager, Fergie tried to sign Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres but he didn’t rate Gerrard as a top top player, and that Fergie didn’t think much of Rafa Benitez.
