Sir Alex Ferguson's book

[chapperzUK]

Ferguson's Autobiography is out today after a fair bit of build up.

A few quotes have popped up here and there. Heard Brendon Rodgers come out and say Ferguson was wrong to say Gerrard wasn't a "top, top player". Roy Keane has also come out and commented.

Anyone going to get it or got it?

would rather stab both my eyes out than read anything by that ****ing manc ******!

Yep, in fact it's loading into my iPad right now.

Putting club allegiances to one side for a moment, Ferguson's a fascinating character who's lived one hell of a life and is, without question in my opinion, the greatest living football manager. If it's half as good as the first book, it'll be worth the price of a few pints I've paid for it.

As for Rodgers's comments, I thought Hayward called it right earlier today. It's quite clear he hadn't read the book and was commenting off the back of sensationalised newspaper comments that removed the context of the Gerrard line. Ferguson's meant to have said it while commenting that Carrick's overlooked for the England side because he doesn't have the bravado image that Lampard and Gerrard.

And he's got a cheek lamenting Ferguson spilling dressing room secrets, he had a film crew following him around the dressing room recording private chats with players.

I though Paul Hayward from the Telegraph was ghost writing; he's certainly been publicising it enough this week.

Fergy is super rich so why bother writing stuff which Will upset past players.

To make more money!

I bought it and have been reading it. Not as interesting as Harry's book which went into the 60's a bit more, but still a good read.
