ARROGANT RVP NEEDS TO GO By MARTIN ALLEN(Daily mail) The comments on Dutch TV by Robin van Persie that his team-mates are getting in his way and going into his positions are typical of the Dutch mentality that weve seen throughout their World Cup campaigns. Weve seen players getting sent home for disagreeing with the manager, players getting sent home because theyve complained theyre not playing and players getting sent home because theyre not happy with the bonuses. Its a very fine line between confidence and arrogance. Can you imagine Wayne Rooneys face when he read those comments? Clearly Van Persie wants out. Aged 30 and with a poor injury record hes the first one who should be shown the exit door in the summer. Quite clearly that type of attitude rubs off on the rest and there will be factions and cliques at Manchester United moaning and complaining, talking about how Sir Alex Ferguson used to do it this way or that way. The bottom line is, several of those players are well past their best. Going back two years, Sir Alex had to bring Paul Scholes, who was a coach at the club, back from retirement as he was short of a holding midfield player who could supply passes and control the tempo of the game. Surely the alarm bells mustve been ringing loud and clear when Scholes was in his late 30s and put back into the first team.
