Fergie Gets Hairdryer From Margaret, 80

 An 80-year-old gran from Rochdale has forced Alex Ferguson to rethink his tactics. The Manchester United manager will scrap his diamond formation at Chelsea after she rang the club

Fergie said: “I’d better not upset her. Did
you hear her on MUTV? She’s 80, phoned up and said ‘I’m fed up watching this diamond’.

“She said ‘Tell that manager to stop playing that diamond’. So I better not play it.”

Lifelong United fan Margaret rang the club’s in-house TV channel to brand Fergie’s latest formation “stupid”.
 

She pleaded: “Please don’t play the diamond at Chelsea. If you want me to have a word with the manager, I will.
“I’ve supported United longer than he has!”

 

 Margaret rang in to the station’s Thursday Focus show and spoke with former players David May and Quinton Fortune.
 

 During the hilarious call she said: “Have you not noticed all the goals you’re giving away when you’re playing that stupid diamond position? We have to go back to playing normally and catch up.

“It isn’t entertaining when you’re 80 years old to watch goals going in from the other side.

“I don’t like it. It’s going to give me a heart attack and I’m 80.

“You wouldn’t like to give me a heart attack.

“I have an opinion and it’s certainly not the diamond. They don’t know what to do — they run around like lost sheep.”

Margaret was also not happy about the early goals going in against United at the moment.

 

She added: “I’m telling you how long I’ve been watching United — I’ve seen every good player you’ve ever had. And they weren’t that stupid, and giving goals away, at the beginning.”
