Manchester United’s chief executive officer David Gill has come out and stated that Sir Alex Ferguson has not shied away from giving him the hair dryer treatment in the boardroom on one or two occasions in the past courtesy of
his fiery character.
Gill spoke after the 25 year anniversary of Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson at Old Trafford. Gill has come under criticism in recent times from fans of the club due to Manchester United’s failure to buy top class talent. In the summer transfer
window, Gill handled Manchester United’s approach towards the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799 but in the end the move in question broke down due to Sneijder’s wage demands that United were unable to meet in their offer to the player.
Sir Alex Ferguson was keen to add the Dutchman to his squad but it remains to be seen whether or not United will make a move for him once again when the January transfer window opens. David Gill spoke about Ferguson in his recent
interview and said that he hasn’t been let off easily in the past as he has been at the end of Sir Alex’s hair dryer treatment.
He said that there have been many occasions where Sir Alex has given him the hair dryer treatment in the past eight years since Gill was made the chief executive officer at Old Trafford but the important thing is that Ferguson
never carries a grudge afterwards. He added, "That's a great thing about Alex – he can have an opinion and blow his top but it's forgotten like that, and I think that's the true measure of the man."
It will be difficult for Manchester United to find a new manager to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson when the Scot retires eventually but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Gill stated, "The important point is the new manager, whenever that may be and whoever
that may be, will be taking over a great club and Alex in particular will want to make sure he inherits a great squad. That's our goal – to make sure when the new manager comes in he has a great squad in terms of age and profile."
