Calderon slams Ferguson

Calderon slams Ferguson

30 October 2008 - 16:35

Real Madrid chairman Roman Calderon has laughed off claims from Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson that Madrid's transfer policy was intentionally unsettling players.

  • Omari Hutchinson wants to continue at Ipswich Town
  • Mikel Arteta insists 27yo star won't be leaving Arsenal

  • "I don't believe they were interested in Heinze - good player though he is. The end game was to get Ronaldo,'' Ferguson said in an interview with GQ Magazine:



    "What made it really obscene was that Madrid, as General Franco's club, had a history of being able to get whoever and whatever they wanted, before democracy came to Spain.



    ''Madrid is not doing anything to disturb a 'friend club' like Manchester. We are two very big clubs. We want to be good friends forever.



    Then Calderon slammed Ferguson by calling him 'an old man': "I'm not going to waste any time answering him, I admire his record, but he is getting old."
