Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

Here is a link to the Sir Alex Ferguson interview, featured on BBC Radio 5 Live. Not sure it will work for readers outside of the UK, but click it to try just on the off chance. It is well worth an hour of any Manchester United fan's time.

Fergie talks about his horses he owns. He uses them as a release from football. I feel his ability to unwind is why he has been at the top of the game for so long.

He talks about his Grandkids too (11 of them). When asked if they fear their Grandfather or Grandmother more, Fergie chirped as quick as an instant, "Her, it is like a military operation down there" His sense of humor really comes across. So little is said about his charm.

He also talks football as well. I stress again, this really is a fantastic interview, a rare insight into the great man that is Sir Alex!

but Sweet science’s comments are on point. Tremendous and in-depth stuff from a man so many of us respect…. it’s worth an hour if you can offer the time. Kudos to Sweet science for the recommendation — that was a treat.

Trust

He talks about times when players come to him to ask for his advice

He said that he would tell no one what was said….. and that he likes it when they do come and see him, because that shows that said player trusts him. The way he spoke about it… It kind of felt like he was… honured that they would confide him in. It pleases him.

He talks about how vital Rio is off the field. He is wonderful with the younger players. He also confides that he holds the key to Pogba’s future. Hopefully Rio can swing the favour to us so the young midfielder signs…

Again, I really reccomend this interveiw. It is fantastic
