Yes, I'm no longer in the industry (took a cheeky retirement plan) but can 100% confirm this to utter bollocks.
Their buying power allows them to buy cheap beer. When on the dray their beer is off loaded exactly the same as any. This means if the dray has 20 Fosters kegs on board they come off...
A friend (who has no interest in football) did some high end Commercial PI work for him, and has always maintained he is worth considerably more than 1 billion.
Mostly his play goes unnoticed due to the location on the pitch. He wins freekicks in an area that takes the pressure off. If he was a forward doing the same he'd have been called out for it far more often.
I saw a passenger if honest. Life can be tough for a forward who is not scoring but you have to affect play by trying. Sometimes we witness players trying too hard, at the moment not something one can level with Fergusson. His role is not only to try and score but also close down, hassle and win...
This good attitude is the one that allows him to stroll around the pitch while others around Welbz and Rutter are busting a gut. Sorry he currently doesn't have the right attitude on the pitch.
Fergusson is playing expecting things to happen instead of playing making things happen. When his team mate, 12 years older, sprints past him to close down a Newcastle defender with the ball, it highlights his current situation. Up to him if he wants to improve.
He does and sorry to say some of it appears attitude. If he ran around with some energy and put himself about a bit it may help him. Today he ambled about not beginning to put the effort required. I'd be reading the riot act to him if was his boss.
Wellbeck our best player this year, so hope it's a spasm.
Fergie needs to go home and watch what he does. When a man over a decade older runs past your through sheer desire you have a f***ing problem.
