Fergie to lead team GB?
July 21, 2008
Lord Sebastian Coe has stated that he would like Sir Alex Ferguson to lead the Great Britain football team in the 2012 Olympics, to be held in London. Lord Coe says he has already spoken to Ferguson about the idea, saying he’s by far the best man for the job.
I would love to have him there because he is a phenomenal coach and a great man manager.
Who else would you want to have that mentoring role with under 23 players for a build-up to the games?
We have had a few conversations, but I stress that it is for the British Olympic Association and the Football Association to make that judgement and I leave it with them.
The idea of having a Great Britain team has been very controversial, as it means players from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland would have to play together, and the football associations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland fear that having a joint GB team could compromise their status.
Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA, has already gone down on record as stating that a GB team would be better if it just included players from England.
