Ferguson upset with Real Madrid tactics

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has let rip with both barrels as he suggested Real Madrid lacked morals in their forlorn pursuit of United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

With Real coach Bernd Schuster and president Ramon Calderon both expressing their desite to see Ronaldo at The Bernabeu, Ferguson hit back at the nine time European Champions saying, “Real think they can ride roughshod over everyone, but they won’t do it with us. They have no moral issues.”

Ferguson even took the time to mention Real’s fiercest rival Barcelona, “In terms of great clubs, Barcelona have far better morality than Real Madrid will ever have. Real use this Marca newspaper as a vehicle to unsettle players.”

“Do you not think we have had many expressions of interest about our players from big clubs in Europe?”

“Real Madrid are not the only club interested in Ronaldo. But the others are not saying so. They don’t get into this nonsense.”

“Calderon makes that great statement, “slavery was abolished many years ago.” Did they tell General Franco that? Give me a break,” quipped Ferguson.

Ronaldo has four more years remaining on his contract and his ‘transfer to Real’ simply will not eventuate this lifetime.

Celtics win on the Road

The Boston Celtics posted their first road win of the playoffs with a surprisingly comfortable 94-80 victory over the Detroit Pistons who never recovered from a slow start.

The Lakers took a 2-0 series lead against the San Antonio Spurs and they and Boston now looked set to meet in the NBA best of seven Championship decider.

Again, the Pistons struggled with Chauncey Billups producing very little in the opening half after finding himself with 3 personal fouls. Rip Hamilton came good in the second half for the Pistons but it was simply a case of too little too late for Detroit who took  home court advantage with a win in Boston in game 2.

Despite Ray Allen again being a handicap for his team at the offensive end of the floor the Celtics found a way to take a 50-32 halftime lead.

It was a big night for the city of Detroit with the Redwings takins a 1-0 series lead for the Stanley Cup when they demolished the Penguins 4-0

I did come across an interesting real estate marketing blog that linked to a free sales and marketing program that you can use in any form of business. Some pretty basic stuff lands in your email but its more of a refresher course kinda thing to just help you probably refocus would be the best word to describe it. Lots of stuff we all already know just maybe forget to use.
