Fergies thoughts

I don't know how you managed to stand up (for his standing ovation) after yesterday - I've been horizontal for the last 24 hours! Oh, what a day, Jesus Christ! We don't deserve that. You supporters, how you put up with that I don't know. These guys they did their best, honestly, they were fantastic, well done boys. They were brilliant, brilliant boys. I read an article this morning - the Racing Post - the only paper I read by the way! Says that we need 8 new players, Jesus Christ! First of all where do you get 8 players, and why do I need 8 players?

I have got a lot of young players here who are evolving into the club, of course I've got the old masters Giggs and Scholes and Ferdinand and most importantly, and you know you're not understand this, but I've got a fantastic staff. Fantastic. The medical staff, the sports science who bloody hell, they are bright boys, they talk stuff that I have never heard of before and hope I never hear again! They are beyond my intellect. I'm a dinosaur, I'm an absolute dinosaur but what I am, I'm a winner. And I want all these players and I said it to them yesterday, when we lost the league to Leeds United in 1992 the young players came out that day and the Liverpool supporters were asking for their autographs, Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Beckham, and they were tearing them up, tearing their autographs up. And I said to Giggs and the boys 'remember this day', and exactly what I said to them yesterday -those Sunderland fans were cheering for city, remember the day. We won't forget that, I'm telling you. So well done to the players, a fantastic group, they will be alright, don't worry about them, a great bunch of lads, brilliant, well done boys."

This sin't a sly dig mate so please don't take it as one, but, do you honestly believe that after the game at your place or the last minute winner they were thinking "We bought this"?

I know what I'd be thinking if it was us.

Well, first of all, I've never wanted that level of obscene wealth (nor thought it necessary to crack on). It's typical of you though to suggest that anyone threatening the tenure of your mate Bill is necessarily looking for a Sheik or oligarch. All that's being asked for is a new owner with fresh ideas and a bit more to spend. That somehow becomes *the main protagonists want billions*.

*sigh*

Second, if that type of massive investment ever did come Everton's way I dont think there'd be a supporter in the country who'd begrudge Everton because we've been so long suffering and starved of any investment for a long, long time and got on manfully with trying to make do and mend. City? One takeover after another. A stadium built for them for nothing. Never short of a few quid. A club that's blown a lot of second chances and been up and down like a yo-yo.

No comparison.

Ridiculous comment in my book. The comparisons are almost endless.

What's the diff between spending 30-50m you haven't got and 1bill you haven't got. There's 92 clubs that are all affected in one way or another by what each side spends. We may not be cheating the elite of the game but you are cheating a side who may come up and take your place if you don't spend that dosh.

There are no degrees of culpability in my book, either you can only spend what you earn or you can spend what your owner can support. No inbeetween.
