Yes, as his tailor fits him for his 4 figure suit he ordains to call the common man in Cork who didnt get home for Christmas dinner. Ah heās a great fella, I bet he even called one of them by name :lol:

I believe they all got home for Christmas dinner, sensationalism by blueboy hereā¦
Sāfunny, on the news on Christmas Day they were bleating a different tune
Did any of the other managers of a Premier League club see fit to do the same? Did anyone else among the tailored-suit wearing public see fit to do the same?
I think you know the answer. This fact merely enhance his status as an alright sort.

A Christmas mass was held this morning for 32 former workers at the Vita Cortex plant in Cork who are staging a sit-in protest.
The company, which manufactures foam packaging, closed its plant on the Kinsale Road last week.
Yesterday, SIPTU President Jack OāConnor visited the plant, as did Cork senior hurling manager Jimmy Barry Murphy.
A spokesperson for the workers this morning said that morale was high, and that the response they are getting from people to their protest was unbelievable.
The group has organised a rota to allow people to take it in turns to go home for a couple of hours today, to spend time with children and have Christmas dinner with their families.
A local taxi firm offered its services for free to bring workers to and from the plant today.
It is understood a local hotel also offered to provide Christmas dinner for the group. However, it is not thought that this will be taken up, as people will be able to get home for a time to have dinner with their families.
The spokesperson said there are usually between 10 and 12 workers on the premises at any given time.
The spokesperson said 12 of the staff who had been let go had given over 40 years of service to the company.
Workers say they have no intention of giving up their protest, and that they are willing to stay there for the long haul.

You can be sure the hun dalglish or the fraud mancini wonāt be making that type of call anytime soon.
Fergie is a working class heroā¦
What difference does it make?
This chap who took the call is still going to have to turn around and continue his sit in while Fergie sits back in his tailored-suit and feels good about himself for doing his good deed for the day. If he was any use heād offer up some of the large pay packet he earns in support of these protestors
Draws publicity to the plight and puts the owners under further pressure to sort the situation out.
Better than doing absolutely nothing at all given the amount of pressure on him for his time.
Dalglish, Wenger, Mancini and Co could do with taking a leaf out of his book.
So youāre saying that, as a rule, managers of professional football teams should make it their business to get involved in industrial disputes that have nothing to do with them
I thought you were wumming at first but itās beginning to appear youāre being serious. Do you honestly think a phone call will actually achieve anything? I can imagine the owners are collectively shitting themselves cos oul whiskeynose found a spare 30 seconds in his day to apparently help out. :rolleyes:
They wonāt be happy about the press coverage once again. It was starting to die down but will now give the protesters new energy for it. For that alone itās worthy of a nomination.
Additionally, due to the attention that Alex Ferguson attracts, itās already been reported on by most news outlets including the BBC. A selfless gesture when, as pointed out previously on this thread, he could have done nothing.
No Iām saying that the fact that Ferguson did it makes him an alright sort.
But instead he decided to stick his whiskey nose in. Many would argue that it has fuck all to do with him and he shouldnāt be interfering in matters that are none of his business
Maybe we could get Ferguson to ring Germany and France and ask them to forget our debt
:rolleyes:
The Vita Cortex workers seemed to appreciate the gesture all the sameā¦
What use is a phonecall from a bumbling incoherent drunk?
How long have you been a Man Utd fan croppy?
:lol:
Since 1986 due to the presence of Kevin Moran at the club.
