It's not United producing the talent. It's them buying nearly finished products. If he had said that many play for him, it's true but he doesn't produce them. I mean Wenger at least lures them at 15 or 16 and puts his stamp on them, whiskynose just cherry picks talent when their ready.
I agree with him about the FA though. I'm not quite sure why he isn't lauded more often by them, and made honourary chairman for life. I also believe the queen has been particularly rude in not stepping down so he can become king. The BBC should have been taken off air whilst Ferguson refused to speak to them because what's possibly informative or factual if it's not coming from him?
God, the indignities that England along with the FA have done up Ferguson with. Where is the humanity?
