Re: Eric "The King" Cantona
How Alex Ferguson talked Eric Cantona back from the brink – with the help of a Harley-Davidson
In an extract from his new book, Daniel Storey remembers how the Scot persuaded his star man to stay put at Old Trafford Even without speaking or playing, Eric Cantona still got into trouble. In late July 1995, Alex Ferguson told Cantona that Manchester United had arranged a series of friendlies against Oldham Athletic, Rochdale and Bury. Cantona was banned from playing in organised games, but within the context of training, United believed the plan to be permissible. The first game was against Rochdale, but the media got wind of it and widely reported that Cantona and United might well be in breach of the ban. FA spokesman Mike Parry confirmed on July 30 that the governing body would be investigating the incident and had written to United for clarification. “The ban imposed on Eric Cantona said that he should be suspended from all football activities until the beginning of October,” said Parry. “So we assume Manchester United have a plausible explanation. We’d just like to know what it is, to clear the matter up.” Eventually, the FA sheepishly retreated from their position. “We are entirely satisfied with their [Manchester United’s] explanation and we have conveyed that to the club,” a statement read. Upset Eric But the damage had already been done. Angered by the FA’s reaction, Cantona travelled to France and holed out there, communicating only through his agent, who had threatened that his client would refuse to come back to Manchester if the FA didn’t drop their threat of further investigation. If that statement scoped the FA’s reaction, it was supplemented by a faxed transfer request to United. “Eric was very upset at the recent inquiry by the FA concerning his involvement in the training session of 25 July,” stated Manchester United’s press officer Ken Ramsden. “He told Martin Edwards that he felt he had very little future in the English game and that his career would be best served by a move abroad.” Cantona’s outburst might seem a little petty in hindsight, but his concerns about a tarnished reputation were valid. He had already been dogged by his blotted copybook during his final years in French football and feared that the same would happen in England. With a highly lucrative offer from Inter still on the table, Cantona believed another fresh start might be the answer. Ferguson agreed. “Eric feels persecuted by the FA inquiry and it seems like the final straw to him,” said a despondent Ferguson. “Obviously we don’t want to lose him. We just have to hope that things settle down.” In fact, it took a great deal more from Ferguson to save the day. Spurred on by his wife Cathy, he travelled to Paris as he grew increasingly concerned that the situation was a lost cause. Thus began the farcical saga of Ferguson in France, tracking down Cantona. Lairy bikers Ferguson flew into Charles de Gaulle Airport and dodged the gaggle of journalists waiting for him at arrivals. He jumped into a taxi and was taken to the Hotel George V in the city centre, where he would stay. In his room, Ferguson received a call from Jean-Jacques Amorfini, Cantona’s lawyer and vice-chairman of the French PFA. He told Ferguson that a porter would collect him at 19:30 and bring him to Amorfini. If this already had the feel of a low-budget, arthouse spy film, Ferguson’s description of the porter telling him to ‘Follow, Monsieur Ferguson’ completes the image. When Ferguson finally met Amorfini, having been led through the hotel’s myriad corridors, the lawyer was sitting astride a Harley-Davidson motorbike and had a spare crash helmet for Ferguson to wear. The United manager clambered onto the bike behind Amorfini and then rode through the side streets of Paris to a small restaurant with a ‘closed’ sign attached to the door. Ferguson had formulated his plan of attack on the plane from Heathrow. He stressed to Cantona that the FA’s investigation – which had by now been dropped – wasn’t an attack on the individual but on Manchester United’s decision to organise the friendlies without the prior say-so of the governing body. Moreover, he would be permitted to play in a number of other matches before his return. He told Cantona how Maurice Watkins, the club’s lawyer, had fought vehemently on the Frenchman’s behalf. Mood swing More importantly, public opinion in England had shifted since news of the investigation had filtered through. Supporters – and not just of Manchester United – believed that having almost completed his ban and served his community service by helping hundreds of children in the local area, Cantona had demonstrated his love for the game and proved his power as an inspirational figure to young fans. Finally, Ferguson told Cantona just how important he believed he would be to United upon his return. Having sold three senior players and replaced none of them, the Scot had a vision of a new Manchester United. Young players would be given ample opportunities in the first team, and Cantona would be their role model. His professionalism, work rate and on-pitch brilliance would ensure as much. www.fourfourtwo.com |

Re: Eric "The King" Cantona
Eric Cantona sends Man Utd fans into meltdown after dropping Instagram hint.
Manchester United supporters are convinced Eric Cantona is in line to become the club's new director of football Eric Cantona has left Manchester United supporters convinced that the club's former captain is in line to be named the head of football at Old Trafford. United sources confirmed that the new position is being created as part of a wide-ranging restructure at the club after Jose Mourinho was sacked on December 18. Cantona posted an image on Instagram with the caption: "I can't tell you anything but you will love it! @manchesterunited". And some United fans took the cryptic message as meaning that Cantona is the man for the job at Old Trafford. Cantona, 52, joined Untied from Leeds in 1992 and proved to be the catalyst in United's return to the forefront of English football, with the Reds winning four Premier League titles with 'The King' in the side. The 45-time capped France international also won two FA Cups during his playing career at Old Trafford. Cantona had a spell as an actor after retiring in 1997, as well as a nine-year beach soccer stint, and was the New York Cosmos' Director of Football between 2011 and 2012. And United fans on Twitter believe Cantona could fit the bill for the new role at Old Trafford. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk |

Eric Cantona: Jose Mourinho Harusnya Diganti Sejak Dulu
Telat mengganti pelatih membuat United harus mengejar ketertinggalan yang cukup jauh. Legenda Manchester United Eric Cantona mengatakan keputusan mengganti Jose Mourinho dengan Ole Gunnar Solskjaer terlambat dan sekarang mengaku menyakitkan melihat klub tertinggal dari Manchester City dan Liverpool. Si Setan Merah mengawali musim 2018/19 dengan buruk yang berujung pada pemecatan Mourinho untuk digantikan Solsjaer yang sukses membangkitkan tim dalam waktu cepat. Solskjaer berhasil mencatatkan 11 kemenangan dari 13 laga dan Cantona menyebut para petinggi di Old Trafford mengambil waktu terlalu lama untuk berpisah dengan seorang pelatih yang terbukti gagal. "Sama sekali saya tidak terkejut," buka Cantona di Paddy Power saat ditanya soal dampak pergantian yang dilakukan. "Akhirnya, klub mengambil keputusan yang benar, sebuah keputusan yang saya pikir seharusnya diambil jauh-jauh hari sebelumnya." "Solskjaer mengerti klub dan Anda bisa merasakan dia terinspirasi Sir Alex Ferguson. Ini seperti Johan Cruyff dan Pep Guardiola di Barcelona. Ole Gunnar adalah anak spiritual Alex Ferguson." "Tidak semua pemain bisa jadi manajer, beberapa bisa dan bagi saya sangat penting untuk klub seperti Manchester United memiliki seseorang yang memiliki jiwa klub, seseorang yang mengerti betul klub dari dalam." "Saya sangat bahagia melihat United seperti sekarang," tandasnya. Meski senang melihat kebangkitan tim, Cantona mengaku sakit menyaksikan kekuatan City dan Liverpool dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. "Sangat menyakitkan. Tetapi mereka memainkan sepakbola indah. Andai saja United memulai musim di sepuluh laga terakhir, tim ini ada di puncak klasemen." "Memang sulit, tetapi semua klub besar punya periode buruk. United akan kembali tetapi hal terburuk adalah kehilangan identitas klub. Anda boleh kalah selama identitas dan filosofi masih dipegang. Bahkan ketika United menang, fans tidak bahagia. Mereka ingin menang dan menikmati pertandingan - ini hiburan." "Sekarang situasinya berangsur normal." www.goal.com |
