ფერგიმ არსად წასვლას არ ვაპირებო, ჩემმა მტერმა უყურა ცემ ცოლს მთელი დღეებიო
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted that he has no plans to retire soon, despite approaching his 65th birthday.
With United having not won a Premiership title for three years, it had been suggested in some quarters that the Scot could step down from his position at the end of the season.
But he strongly denied that any such thoughts had entered his mind during the build-up to his side's crucial league clash with fellow heavyweights Arsenal.
"Retirement? You must be joking," Ferguson told the Scotsman. "Especially when you consider that the alternative is to stay home with that wife of mine.
"Cathy says that if I retire, she's going back to Glasgow."
Ferguson added that despite this being his 20th season in the Old Trafford hot seat, he enjoys the challenge just as much as when he moved from Scottish side Aberdeen in 1986.
"At a club like this, enthusiasm never dims," he added. "I am lucky i have United as a kind of anchor.
"I can't be part-time or take it easy. It is such a big club. If you weren't in control, if you weren't seen to be there all the time, I think i could wobble a bit."
Ferguson is the most successful manager in the club's history, having guided them to eight Premiership titles, five FA Cups, a League Cup and the Uefa Champions League title in 1999.
ამ კინს კიდევ რა უნდა ვერ გავიგე, ხან აგინებს ფერგის და ფეხბურთელებს და ხან აქებს. ეხლა ისევ გინების ხასიათზე დადგა:
Keano goes to war on United
By CHARLIE WYETT
September 16, 2006
ROY KEANE has blasted Wayne Rooney and insists “the jury is still out” on whether the England star will be a top player.
In an explosive interview, former Manchester United skipper Keane reveals just seven of his recent Old Trafford team-mates have his mobile number — and Roo is not one of them.
The new Sunderland boss also:
Sticks the boot in on strike star Michael Owen.
Says Alex Ferguson and Co should have known better over his concerns voiced in the infamous MUTV rant.
Told Patrick Vieira ‘Why don’t you ****ing play for Senegal?’
In an interview to be published in The Sunday Times Magazine tomorrow, Irishman Keane, 35, even pokes fun at the England WAGS.
But most amazing of all is Keane’s assessment of United golden boy Rooney.
Keane said: “For me, the jury’s still out on Wayne. I think he’s got a hell of a lot to do.
“Wayne has achieved nothing — and would probably say that himself.
“I would judge players over a few years rather than one or two.
“He’s got potential, like I’ve got potential to be a good manager.
“Potential is one thing, doing it is another.”
Keane then admits Rooney has not even got his mobile number. The only United players who have — some have now moved on — are Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, John O’Shea, Quinton Fortune and Ryan Giggs.
When joining Celtic, Keane said he gave only two of the players his number as he did not want to be annoyed by their banter.
While Keane is full of praise for the way ex-England captain David Beckham leads his life, he is less complimentary about Owen.
He said: “There’s loads of people who get sucked in. Michael Owen always springs to mind.
“The day after Owen broke his foot, he’s doing an article and I’m thinking, ‘Work on your recovery, man’.”
Discussing his relationship with Fergie, Keane says he “doesn’t have a clue” where they stand following their bitter bust-up. But he says they have respect for each other, although he also stresses there is no affection between them.
Keane clearly has no time for United No 2 Carlos Queiroz.
After accusing Keane of being disloyal over the MUTV outburst, the Irishman hit back at Portuguese coach Queiroz — saying he ran off to coach Real Madrid and returned only when everything went pear-shaped in Spain.
Keano also reckons Ferguson should have known better than to become embroiled in a row over his TV interview after United’s 4-1 hammering against Middlesbrough.
Keane said: “I was seeing players doing stuff off the pitch — had the feeling it was affecting them — and it came to a head with that defeat.
“Yes, I nailed certain people. I took the publicity with a pinch of salt, senior figures at the club should’ve done the same.
“Everyone got sucked into it, when they should have known better. I think, in the end, the manager was swayed by certain people he works with.”
Keane explained his volley at former Arsenal skipper Vieira and said: “He was bragging about all the things he had done in Senegal.
“I said to him, ‘If you’re so worried about Senegal, why didn’t you ****ing play for them’?”
His dislike even extends to the England WAGS at the World Cup. Keane could not understand why on earth they wanted to be pictured going out for meals in Baden-Baden.
And he added: “They were annoying me and they’re not even my wife!”
Now Keane is fully focused on the job to be done at Sunderland and insists he wants the Stadium of Light to be rocking for his first home match in charge — against Leicester this afternoon.
He said: “We are hoping to get well over 30,000, which would be fantastic and the fans have a massive part to play.
“It’s a challenge for us because all the expectations will be on us to win the game but that’s something we should enjoy and be looking forward to. I got a taste of what it’s like here against West Brom — but I was in the stands then and this time I will be more hands-on.
“I’m enjoying the management game because I look at the players and I think we have half a chance of doing something here — we are making sure we are 100 per cent prepared.
“If the fans are now coming along expecting us to win rather than lose that’s fantastic but we have to earn the right to win these games.
“I still get adrenaline. It’s still there but it’s a different type of reaction. Every team we play against will be different but I have a team of hungry players.”

ტერი ვენეიბლზსმა იმედი მაქვს სქოულზი უარს იტყვის თავის გადაწყვეტილებაზე და დაუბრუნდება ნაკრებსო:
England's assistant coach Terry Venables is retaining hope that Paul Scholes could still be tempted out of international retirement.
The Manchester United schemer called time on his international career back after Euro 2004 having secured 66 caps for his country.
However, after recovering from an eye injury last term, Scholes is now back to his best for United, leading some to believe he could still do a job for England.
Venables is a huge admirer of The Red Devils playmaker and is hoping he could be tempted to turn out for Steve McClaren's side.
"People say he has determined to retire from international football for good, but I hope he will change his mind," Venables told the News of the World.
"He is the best one or two-touch passers in the country. He sees the game unlike any other players."
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has praise for Scholes' current form and the Scottish tactician believes at 31, he is now an even better player.
"At 31, his experience is starting to show through. He has an awareness around the box which is better than most players," said Ferguson.
"For a time last season we were worried because there was no progress in relation to Paul's eye. Then, suddenly, towards the end of April, it just started to get better and he was able to play the second half of the final game against Charlton.
"It is great news because he has fantastic ability. Now he is approaching the golden years of his career, hopefully the next couple of seasons will be a peak time for him."
