[39] Jockey Ruby Walsh says Alex Ferguson has told him that players have to be sold

[Red News]

“I met Alex Ferguson in the changing room on the Friday at Cheltenham before racing and I asked him what was going on and he was telling me about buying this fella and he bought the wrong fella and I said to him that I told you five years ago you had to sell Nani and you wouldn't. A lot of the players are the players he (Moyes) inherited from you and he said 'Yeah, a good few of them have to go but it all depends on what shopping he does in the summer. To be fair to David Moyes, who wanted the job from Alex Ferguson. You're on a hiding to nothing. How are you going to keep going what Alex Ferguson had, how are you going to make it better? You're not. You're on a one-way ticket before you start.”
