SAF in 2009: Moyes is the Best

Back in 2009 club's website collected questions from celebrities that were directed towards Sir Alex.

Here is one of them which is also proof that Sir Alex believed in Moyes since then;

Who do you think is the best manager in the Premier League in terms of man-management and making the most of the resources available to him? Eamonn Holmes, TV presenter

"Oh, that’s a belter, that question. Brucey’s done a great job with his resources… Martin O’Neill has done well with his… Arsene Wenger… it’s difficult to assess Wenger because he spends a lot of Arsenal’s money on youth players and their salaries instead of spending it on a big player. David Moyes has done fantastically well. I’ll go for him, David Moyes, definitely."

Some other questions and answers that I liked;

Sir Alex, as the greatest manager of all time, is it hard to be humble? Ian Brown, singer (solo, Stone Roses)

"I think the important thing is just to keep you feet on the ground. I have a common sense attitude to life. My wife cringes every time someone calls me Sir Alex or calls her Lady Cathy. She says to me, “I don’t know why you accepted it in the first place! ...”


What was the harder decision - leaving out Jim Leighton in 1990 or Park for last year’s Champions League final in Moscow? Pete Boyle, supporter and songster

"Ji-sung Park, without doubt... I felt terrible about it, but after the game his parents were great towards me, they were really nice."

What's the most amazing thing you've ever seen in training? Dominic Monaghan, actor (Lost, Lord of the Rings)

"The most amazing thing is Paul Scholes, in the morning, when a player goes to have a pee at the side of the training pitch and he fires balls from 40 yards right on top of their head! He’s unbelievable. He got John O’Shea about two weeks ago, right on the shoulder, while he was having a pee. He got Gary Neville right in the head and Neville chased him across the pitch!"
