Fergie Retires
 
Well end of an era. Not that I have ever been a Man U fan, but no-one could question the dedication this man has put into football.

When Charlton were in the Premiership (those were the days), I use to hate extra time and the "Ferguson minute". That aside though he will be missed.

Alex Ferguson on behalf of Football (Soccer) I salute you !

Moyes favourite to take over.

Im sure he will go down in history as one of the greats.
I doubt there will ever be another manager who will stay at any club that long.
So let the madness and speculation begin on who will replace him.
From a band wagon, glory hunting plastic Manc I thank you Sir Alex.

I suppose it is un-British of me to have seen the thread header and thought of pee.

Yawn yawn and double yawn. Why the BBC New webpage has this above the Queen's Speech on immigration is mystifying. Not even national news, it should be on the sports pages.

Whoever takes over from Sir Alex is on a hiding to nothing anyway. Win another title or three for Utd, you inherited Fergie's team and had little to do.

Screw up, your career's probably finished!


I think Fergie's going to be another Abramovich, minus the Billions!
