Sir Alex Ferguson obviously doesn't fancy his chances of winning manager of the year at Monday night's Ballon d'Or awards.
The former Manchester United boss was nominated for the award but he will not be present at the ceremony in Zurich as he enjoys a week-long holiday in Barbados.
Ferguson flew out to the Caribbean on Friday for a week-long celebration with family and friends,

WHO IS RUSS ABBOT?
For
those younger readers wondering who Russ Abbot is, the man sharing a
joke with Ferguson and Barbados is a comedian, musician and actor.
The Cheshire-born 66-year-old's fame peaked in the 1980s with Russ Abbot's Madhouse and The Russ Abbot Show pulling in audiences of millions.
A drummer and backing singer, Abbot peaked at No 7 in the charts with his single Atmosphere in 1984.

Moyes has endured a tough first season in the United hotseat under the watchful eye of Ferguson, with the defending Premier League champions languishing down in seventh place in the table, 10 points behind leaders Manchester City.
Ferguson and his family are believed to be marking two landmark birthdays, with his grandchildren and extended family part of a group in excess of 30 people.
Among that group are former United and England captain Bryan Robson and another former player of Fergie's at Old Trafford, Norman Whiteside.
All three were pictured at the Lone Star restaurant on Sunday in St James Parish along with comedian Russ Abbot as they enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Caribbean island.
