Trust Fergie ?

is the gist of this Times blog

I definitely trust him to do the right thing for the long term future of the club. Let's face it we have just won 3 titles on the trot, been in champions league finals back to back, plus domestic cup finals and semi finals. You can't carry that on indefinitely. And with the sale of the man who whether you liked him or not that success was built around, and with Giggs, Neville and Scholes in the twilight of their career's it has been obvious to me for the past season that he has been looking to the future. If that means we have to live with a relatively barren couple of years waiting for some of our younsters to break into the team, gain experience and mature, that's fine with me. Of course with the fickleness shown by the new football fans and the muppets that have started to follow us since the Glazers took over i don't suppose that will be the majority view.
The measure of the man, is does anybody not still expect us to be contesting for the major honours next year, not many would bet against it would they. I mean which of the top four has actually really strengthened their squad so far this summer. City have spent money trying to break into the top four, whether they have spent wisely we will have to wait and see. They haven't spent badly by any means but they haven't bought anything that keeps me awake at night. And as for the bindippers, they seem to be having trouble keeing hold of their better players, never mind improving that squad. How long will Torres put up with that state of affairs, because if he got itchy feet they are sunk, as great a player as Gerrard is he won't be able to do it all on his own.

Tevez joins City and his nose is starting to grow already as he accuses Fegie of lack of coomunication and says the lure of a shady Arabs money had nothing to do with it...... hmmm, yeh right.

I was surprised at the lenght of the contract, 5 years, his owners must be making some money out of this to forgo the chance of another hefty transfer fee in a couple of years time.

Music

Doves - Kingdom of rust: Another quality album from the men from Cheshire, it gets better every listen. Manchester has two of our premier rock bands in this lot and Elbow.
Madness - The liberty of Norton Folgate: I like Madness but i wasn't sure what to expect of this. It is virtually a quarter of a century since the last album. What i didn't expect was this superb album, every track is a corker with some real gems. As last year Paul Weller brought out probably my favourite album of the year and definitely my favourite Weller album so it will be some album that beats this.
Sunn 0))) - Monliths: I gave this a try after reading a positive review in mojo, oh dear, one listen was enough. Not for me.
Super Furry Animals - Dark days light years: One of my favourite groups deliver the goods again. The usual kitchen pot of influences are thrown in to come up with that majestic sound. I can never understand why they are not massive.
The Juan Maclean - The future will come: Another corking piece of elctronica from John Maclean, at times a bit more commercial than his first effort but not too commercial for me not to like it.
