Fergie to retire from Man Utd [Merged]

Re: Manchester United to make big announcement within the next week

Class? He has very little. Responsible for many of the worst things in the game today. I will not miss him for one moment.

Spot on. Such a dishonorable manager. Complained that no footballer should act in the way that Luiz acted but yet allowed/allows his players such as Ronaldo, Nani etc to behave in the same cheating dishonorable manner. He only ever sees a problem with the other team, never his own. It's a shame, I'd like to like him as he was vocal in his support for the Amex but I just can't.

Resign Ronaldo Rooney to Real Madrid ?

Luckily for football, there are no other managers that do that.

From BBC website: "Manchester United are expected to make a statement to the New York Stock Exchange before it opens at 1430BST." They're required to confirm or deny material rumours, so a statement coming doesn't prove the rumour either way, though a denial would be easier to make (it wouldn't need careful drafting) and would therefore probably be issued even sooner than just before the market opens.

It's Moyes, and Gus is being offered the Everton job.

Gus wouldn't go to Everton as Gus would have to shop around for bargains and we all know Gus moans about bugets.

The scary thing about the PL is that if a well established club like Everton have no money-how the hell would we do financially?

Back to the original subject-as much as I despise everything about Man U there is no denying that Taggart is going to be difficult to replace. Motes is nowhere near ready apart from being a fully paid up member of the 'Moaning Miserable Sweaty' club. Jose has the experience but not sure he would be what the red filth need as a replace not.

Let's hope Dean Saunders gets the job.

Just been confirmed on SSN that he's retiring.

Sir Alex Ferguson will step down as Manchester United manager at the end of the season after 26 years in charge.
The Scot, 71, has won 38 trophies since taking over from Ron Atkinson on 6 November 1986, including this season's Premier League title.
His haul includes 13 titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and five League Cups.
"The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about. It is the right time," Ferguson said.
"It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so.
"The quality of this league winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure of the youth set-up will ensure that the long-term future of the club remains a bright one.

FA Cup: 1990, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2004

League Cup: 1992, 2006, 2009, 2010

"Our training facilities are amongst the finest in global sport and our home Old Trafford is rightfully regarded as one of the leading venues in the world.
"Going forward, I am delighted to take on the roles of both Director and Ambassador for the club. With these activities, along with my many other interests, I am looking forward to the future.
"I must pay tribute to my family, their love and support has been essential. My wife Cathy has been the key figure throughout my career,
Ferguson is the most successful manager in the history of the British game and famously won a treble in 1999.
He is undergoing a hip operation in the summer and that may have triggered his decision to step down.
Bookmakers have made Everton manager David Moyes odds-on favourite to take over at Old Trafford.
The Scot is out of contract in the summer at Goodison Park having delayed talks on a new deal until the end of the season.
Ferguson gave no indication he was thinking over his future when writing Sunday's programme notes against Chelsea.
He said: "I certainly don't have any plans at the moment to walk away from what I believe will be something special."
But rumours of his retirement filtered out after the club's end-of-season players versus coaches golf day at Dunham Massey, Greater Manchester on Tuesday afternoon.
Former Wigan manager Paul Jewell paid tribute to Ferguson's ability to deal with the pressures that come with managing United.

It's got to be Michael Appleton shirley?!

 

[ees complicated no?]

So there isn't another thread?

 

[Dr NBC]

Biggest w*nker ever. Good riddance.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Got to hope that Jose takes the job, Shirley? Cos, if not, it'll go to Moyes, meaning that Gus may well take the Everton job. Of course, Moyes may well leave anyway, leaving a vacancy at Goodison.....

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Gus to Chelsea.

...........Gus to Chelsea?.... GUS TO CHELSEA?

 

[Brian Fantana]

Biggest w*nker ever. Good riddance.

I'd quite happily have his career record, though.
