    Just think what a slap in the face this super league is to a man like this, not even including the large dump on his legacy as well.

      Ferguson pulled out of the FA Cup to play in a tournament abroad. He also backed the Glazers at every step against the fans. Don't give me all that

    Sir Alex perfectly understands what football and Manchester United mean to so many people and that's what we are missing at the moment. His passion and dedication made us such a great team and we all want to thank him for that! Sir Alex Ferguson-the greatest manager of all time!

    Ferguson. Legend. I was 10/11yrs old or younger, when i went to my first game, at a top game. UTD was it, stood in stretford end, rickety stadium. Approx 1988, around this time. New of Ferguson's name then. Im 42yrs now. Not that old. Indian, brown skin. And felt awesome going to games back then.

    I give him credit for honestly believing and living by those morals, but it was during his time (in spite of his own desires i am sure) that United became the most successful at commercialising football's soul. What hope is there for the rest? Liverpool and Klopp, City and Pep - doesn't matter.
    Out of 92 league teams, only 4 are supporter controlled - Luton, Wimbledon, Exeter, Newport. Even League 2 is taken over. That is what has to change, from the bottom up.

    In a Week where we have seen shocking Leadership in Sport and seen the Danger of complacency , Lack of Research , Lack of not understanding your customers or employees and allowing Greed and Weakness to cloud a judgement . Sir Alex outlines the importance of identity and DNA , History , Heritage and his Legacy will Live on and followed by many for a Lifetime .The story of this last week in Sport, will provide some of the best lessons on the outcome of poor decision making you should ever have to witness alongside the destruction that Greed can cause and for all those Leaders involved in this breakaway there names will perish into dust and so will there Legacy . Never underestimate the People !! Never Forget this Lesson !!

    Its the breath, the thing that you exhale and you inhale without worries, that represents freedom, which urges you to ask yourself, " Is it worth it?". And if you're doing it for Manchester United, and you are having to dive in a tackle which may break your jaw, for thounsands of fans, its freaking WORTH IT!

    Since his retirement, football has become girly.. Pinkish in colour.
    And.. Dont get me wrong, I like women's football.
    But I feel the "whole" English game is controlled in a certain way that lacks
    Male spirit and individual strong minded characters.
