HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE
Last updated : 29 July 2005 By Editor
Rio Ferdinand is in the centre of a row after incidents at yesterday's game with Kashima Antlers. From the forum: "Rio got slagged to fuck tonight in Tokyo off the travelling Reds and reacted with two fingered gestures to the crowd, so for Carlos Queiroz to say it won't bother him! The sooner that greedy bastard is out of OUR club the better and that is the opinion of a large number of Reds over here in the Far East."
Rio also had a public row with Ruud after the final whistle had gone. However Carlos Queiroz has tried his best to difuse both incidents by donning a pair of Wenger specs.
"I am not aware of any incident between Rio and the fans." He said.
"There is a discussion from a professional, and contract, point of view but that cannot put a question mark in terms of his loyalty, commitment, desire, professionalism and his will to win for Manchester United,"
"He is a Manchester United player.”
And on the disagreement with Ruud
"We realised there was a dispute between two players on the pitch but at this moment, as far as I know, there is nothing serious in that," said Queiroz.
"If there is something, we will take action." (Ed. What? Suspension with full pay?)
