SIR ALEX BOOK LAUNCH: Some quotes from Fergies news conference : On retirement: It was right time to retire. Its very difficult to leave the club, the Directors role was perfect, you have to remain active Ferie at his first book signing. No PR restrictions here. You´ll lve it or hate it but he tells it like it is/was. On Rooney: Wayne Rooney is a slow learner and he struggles to stay fit. The day after we won the league, he asked away. On Rooney: Wayne Rooney wanted me to sign Mesut Ozil in 2010. On Ronaldo: Cristiano was the most gifted player I managed. He surpassed all the other great ones I coached at United - and I had many. On Van Persie: I always remember Arsene saying to me about RVP: You dont realise what a good player youre getting. Arsene was right. On Van Persie: He took a lower wage to come to place where he could be most successful. On players leaving: Beckham had to go because he thought he was bigger than the manager, Keane had to go because he thought he was the manager. On Beckham: I had no issue with him, he was a marvellous guy. How can I argue with how he has turned out, he is an icon. On Beckham: He was around 12 feet from me. Between us on the floor lay a row of boots. Beckham swore. I moved towards him & I kicked a boot. Of course Beckham rose to have a go at me & the players stopped him. On Beckham: He fell in love with Victoria. That changed everything. I had to think of my own control of the club and where we were going On Beckham: David thought he was bigger than Alex Ferguson. You cannot have a player taking over the dressing room. On Beckham: David was only player I managed who chose to be famous. On Keane: Him leaving was the best thing that could have happened. On Keane: The hardest part of Roys body is his tongue. He has the most savage tongue you can imagine. On Benitez: The mistake he made was to turn our rivalry personal. Once you made it personal, you had no chance, because I could wait. On Benitez: I found #LFC hard to watch when he was there. I found them dull. Benitez has more regard for destroying a game than winning. On Mancinis wine: Mancini bought very nice wine! Im sorry hes left! On Hargreaves : He was a disaster. One of the most disappointing signings of my career.
