Unfortunately for United, Ferguson likes to go by his own rules. His new autobiography, 14 years since the last one, is out on 24 October, with a press conference the previous day to launch it and a tour featuring theatre and music-hall dates in Manchester, Glasgow, London, Aberdeen and Dublin. He might be gone but you will be hearing an awful lot about Ferguson over the next couple of months and it is probably no surprise that at Old Trafford they are wondering whether a storm of locusts is about to head their way. Or that one question, more than any other, is being asked: is Ferguson about to blow apart the Wayne Rooney peace process?

He can hardly ignore what has happened, the breakdown of their relationship, the transfer request, the cow looking into the next field and all that, and when Ferguson makes it his business to get in the final word it is a potent pot of poison in which he dabs his quill. Just ask Gordon Strachan and Brian Kidd, among others, after the literary kicking they took in his 1999 book. Or consider its account of finding out an old Rangers man, Willie Allison, someone he had come to regard as a mortal enemy, had been diagnosed with cancer. "I know it is a terrible thing to say," Ferguson writes, "but I did not have a crumb of pity for him."

Does the book mention that he once threatened to withdraw all the Man Utd players on loan from a club which sacked his son as manager, (he must think the players belong to him), that this same son Darren was once a midfielder in Man Utd's starting lineup (anyone else heard of this star player?), that his brother Martin was once the chief scout at Man Utd? (which recently scouted Modric, Fabregas, Rooney, Phil Jones, etc while Spurs recently scouted Paulinho, Capoue, Soldado, Eriksen, Lamela). :rolleyes:

No doubt on the man's achievements but he also got his share of controversies.

That's another son. BBC got banned from interviewing him for years just for reporting that.
He must have failed to realise he was merely a custodian and employee of the football club Man Utd, and thought they wanted to interview him in his own capacity. :rolleyes:
