    Ferguson situation is a bit...........

    like the situation we had, as some older guys will remember with Asa Hartford back in the late Sixties. Big move to Leeds fell through due to discovery of a hole in the heart I think it was. He got over it and played for us until Man City took a punt. He did not seem to be overly affected by the proposed move falling through. Somehow I don't feel it will be the same with Ferguson. He will probably need counselling and a safe place at the club for him to escape to when it all gets too much for him.

    Back when fellas wanted to play football...cause they wanted too....even with a hole in the 💓.
    No insignificant thing like a hole in the heart would stop someone playing the game they loved.
    Remember Asa well..
    Asa hearts really...🤔 ..

    I also remember the Hartford situation well.
    A major difference in today’s climate is of the power of the agents linked to the obscene wages.
    I hope Ferguson buckles down and works to gain his place back. Unfortunately, his agent has turned his head, and I suspect the fans will be unforgiving.
    Shame to see another talented ****ager potentially lose his support and not follow the Brunt example .
    Won’t let me type t eenager ?

    And if he read the article from Mr Berahino last week he may review his own situation today.
    Not too late yet to sustain his career...Mr Ferguson...

    Its a lot to expect these days for any kid to not have his head turned with perceived better options and much more money. I cant feel too hard on him because older players have little loyalty these days. PLUS the fact that if you play a blinder 9 games out of ten the fans still treat you like cr*p over the one game. There's little to love about the modern game.
