A Short Farewell Coversation (Between Ferguson and Van. Nistelrooy)

Finally, after months of cold war, Van Nistelrooy has left Manchester United for Real Madrid for an estimated Euro$15mil price. Before he bid his final farewell to Old Trafford, he bumped into Alex Ferguson who was back in his office to get some work done. Van Nistelrooy just have to confront the man one last time to find out why he was left on the cold.

V.Nistelrooy : It is God's will for me to see you again. Because He wants me to find out the truth...the truth on why I was left on the bench for so long.

A. Ferguson : Oh.....Yes, maybe. Maybe, you need to know the truth. Since the deal is done, I can now review the truth.

V.N : Tell me.

A.F : You are a good player. One of the best striker in Europe. Your scoring rate is tremendous but I realised that age is catching up on you, so something has to be done.

V.N : But I am still scoring and I can still run at defenders.

A.F : Maybe now, but I think in the next six months, your speed will come down by about 5 to 10% and probably another 10% in one year's time.

V.N : How can you say that? I mean what test did you do on me to deduce this theory?

A.F : I was having lunch with Eidos Game software General Manager few months back and we were talking about our squad and he mentioned you. He says that for their updated version of the Championship Manager, your stats will not be as good as the previous year.

V.N : What you mean?

A.F : Your speed and pace will be down at the start of the new season and will subsequently decrease over the season. Also, the software predicted that you have a high chance of injury and will be out for up to 9 months if you continue to stay in Man United.

V.N : And you believe this game thing? Crap right?

A.F : I didn't want to but after I spoke to David Gill(CEO), both of us think that we cannot afford to take the risk. We are already very tight with our budget and if we don't cash in on you, we can't buy new players.

V.N : This is bull-shit. Ok....ok....so did the game engine predicted that I will join Real?

A.F : Surprising, it did. And it predicted that you will be the top scorer of the Spanish League for 06/07. This was the reason why Real was willing to raise their offer from Euro$10mil to $15mil.

A rather bemused Van Nistelrooy, not knowing whether he should smile or feel bitter, walked away to his car and drove off to the Manchester Airport.

A Short Chat with C. Ronaldo (What I said to the referee before Rooney's red card)


We all know how much Ronaldo wants to leave Man U and how badly Alex Ferguson is trying to keep him at Old Trafford. Since the incident involving him in the red card incident with Rooney, Ronaldo has openly proclaimed that it will not be possible for him to remain at Old Trafford. So, what is his plan for the new season and more importantly what did he said to the referee?

-----Phone Ring------
CrazyGuru : Hello, Ron....How are you?

Ronaldo : Ah....great. As long as I am not in England, I feel good.

CG : I should know that. So, have you sorted out your plans for the new season, especially when it is starting in the next three weeks or so.

Ron : Ah...no, not yet. But no way I am going back to Man U. I will be a dead man if I go back there. Either Rooney will end my career or the fans will do it. I have to go to Spain, with the latino girls.....oh....here I come.

CG : I guess so. So, the question is was it all planned by you?

Ron : I haven't plan to meet any Spanish girls, I will see who come along. You know, I am still young.

CG : Ur....I am actually referring to leaving Man U.

Ron : Oh, no...no....of course not. It was just unfortunate.

CG : Some people are saying that you said something to the referee to get Rooney send off, then create the kind of tension, which makes it impossible for you to stay in Man U.

Ron : This is bull shit. I didn't ask the referee to send Rooney off. How can I do that?

CG : So, what did you say to the ref then?

Ron : After the whistle(for the foul), I ran to the referee after seeing Rooney step on Carvalho's crotch. Out of concern of my team mate. When I got there, I see the pain in Carvalho's face and the first thing I think of is how disappointed it will be for him and his family.

CG : Huh....why you say that? You mean that if can't continue playing, his family will be disappointed?

Ron : No. You see, Carvalho love kids and with that stamp, I think his dream is gone. It must be devastating for him. I really feel for him because I love kids also.

CG : I see....

Ron : So, I went up to the referee to tell him this thing, about how bad Carvalho must be feeling knowing that his family will not be complete. Shortly later, the referee flashes the red card. I was shocked too, especially when I know that people will misunderstood and say that I influenced the referee.

CG : I don't think you have to feel bad since the referee clarify that he wasn't influenced by you.

Ron : Right. Later we found out that the referee was himself childless, so that explain why he can relate to the pain and devastation Carvalho will feel.

CG : Oh, I see. That really explain the whole thing.

Ron : Having said all, it will still be difficult for me to stay in Man U, so I think my departure is inevidable.

CG : Ok, I wish you luck in your new club. Ron : Thank you and bye bye.
