The days of fergie hijacks are over. They couldn't hijack a Stephen Hawking these days.
I have a feeling ferguscum may have been quite influential in our signings in the past. Based only on the suspicion that he owned agents like he owned the FA and to some extent the media. He always seemed to have a bee in his bonnet about us so could easily have said if you sell player x to Liverpool you'll never do business at manure again. And then the odd leak to say they were interested in the likes of Charlie Adam before we got him. He knew how shit Adam was.
It was telling that he was worried when we got Klopp. The effect a manger has on the overall club is more than just improving the starting 11 he inherits.
