Was Selling Ruud Van Nistelrooy Sir Alex Fergusons' Biggest Mistake?

"As Van Nistelrooy continues his extrodinary goal scoring habits at Real Madrid, Ricky O'Neal asks 3 years on from his Man Utd departure whether selling the Dutch hit man was a knee jerk misjudgement from Sir Alex Ferguson."

Be sure to check out the latest article, I'm sure you'll have an opinion!

If you are talking about substitutions then yes! but if you are talking about transfers then I'm afraid..the changes will be made..certain amount of points could be deducted but the transfers will be active in the next game week..

Hope this helps,

Hey Chris,

We had a bug for a few days which was preventing a select number of users from publishing articles...but it should be fixed now.

Did you happen to save a copy of the article you lost?

My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience...thanks so much Chris.
