I'm not a Man Utd fan, far from it, but Alex Ferguson is the greatest football manager of all time. Anyone that thinks otherwise is just blinkered and/or deluded!!!
Moyes is a very good choice. He's laid back and tough, experienced, speaks his mind, knows the game inside out and doesn't get involved in any poncing or pacing about, posing or playing the prima donna (I'm aving an alliteration day). Ferguson is 71, time to get a new hip, have yet another drink and to put his feet up
I hope it is Moyes and he continues to play the good football that Fergie has but tries to irradicate some of the gamesmanship that Fergie employs. We need at least one British manager in a top job and Moyes has earnt his chance.
Fergie's record is incredible, and his teams play good attacking British football, but I cannot stand him and the way he encourages his players to behave. I won't miss him.
Mam Utd fans have London and Charlton Athletic to thank for bringing Sir Alex to Manchester. 1986-1987 season kick off with Utd playing Arsenal,West-Ham and Charlton Athletic first 3 games ,3 defeats and sitting one place from bottom ofDivision 1with only Aston Villa below them sacked Ron ATKINSON after 1-0 defeat to Charlton at Old Trafford (i was there). fOOT NOTE IT TOOK Sir Alex 15 seasons to get his second double over Charlton in a season.
great manager but has to be considered slightly fortunate to have giggs, scholes, beckham and the nevile brothers come through his youth set up more or less at the same time.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Atkinson wasn't sacked until November. So it wasn't the defeat to us (which was in August) which brought Fergie to Old Trafford, much as we'd like to think it.
A utd supporting work colleague showed me this today from one of there fan forums, He couldn't stop laughing, I thought it was funny as well.
Fergie if you've got to go away, I don't think I can take the pain, Won't you stay another day... Oh don't leave me alone like this, Our fucking midfield takes the piss, Won't you stay another day...
Rooney is decent, but not the player he thinks he is nor the player he should be for the potential he had or the salary he earns.
Doesn't like Moyes though does he? Maybe he'll be off to Tottenham in a swap for Bale as there won't be may of the top European clubs queuing up for him.

He still had to pick them and then nuture them. Brave decision for a manager to gamble on youth like that. Doesn't happen now as we've seen at Charlton over the last few years.

Perhaps, although if I was Spurs I'd take the cash and go and buy a player who is truly world class - I just don't think Rooney has it and the only teams with the means and desire to sign him will be PSG/Man City and they wouldn't be buying him for wholly football reasons
