The longevity Proud

The Man

Greatest Manager of all time Proud

I'm sad that he's going, but even happier that we had him at all.

Good luck to him and his future endeavors. No one has ever had a hunger for winning for that long as much as he has had.

I am emotionally devastated.

Thank you Sir Alex for everything you did for Manchester United!

27 years, one man, one team, infinite success. I can't remember having a worse day than today. Literally tearing up. This is the one man who is responsible with Manchester United turning to an addiction for me. What will it be after this? I fear that this will have many more implications than we think and, I'm not talking exclusively about Manchester United. The EPL and world football will never be the same. Thank you! Even though we never met and definitely never will, you touched my life in more ways than most people I know.

This was unexpected. I thought he'd be as eternal as Zanetti. :bow:

SAF

I'm shocked as hell..

You are the BEST, old man. Nobody will come close in your throne as the EPL's king. Thank you SAF :bow:

Kicked out of CL in his last season by Real Madrid.....that red card to Nani.....what an irony. And this was only the first season of Robin Van Persie.

Legend,honestly Im really going to miss him no manager has ever been able to do what he has done, a genius in the way he rebuilds his team again and again. Im a bit surprised that he retired now, this Man utd team is young and a new project I thought he would retire after it reaches its peak.

by M99 Wed May 08, 2013 5:25 pm

I'll pay my homage to the great man here. The disrespect he is getting at GS in disgusting. I won't list his achievements everyone know what he did and football has lost one of it's greatest individuals. Have a good rest Fergie, football (bloody hell) will miss you.

He has been at Old Trafford before I was even born ffs. Can't imagine seeing Man Utd without the red nosed old man chewing gum at the touchline and roaring at the officials.

by RED Wed May 08, 2013 6:16 pm

The honour was all hours, Sir Alex. He is the greatest thing to ever have happened to Manchester United.

It still hasn't sunk in yet. I got the news at work, couldn't concentrate at all afterwards. Was shocked as hell.

by guest7 Wed May 08, 2013 10:12 pm

It's still abit unbelieveable for me tbh

I can imagine it being scary now, I mean SAF has been managing Man U longer than I've been alive ffs, too much change for a single season

by Casciavit Fri May 10, 2013 12:02 pm

Like M99, I find the disrespect he's getting in the General Section appalling. So I as well will pay homage here.

He's been coaching United before I was born lol, and it will be a bit weird not seeing him on the bench next season. Football will miss him, one of the greatest managers ever. He managed to build and rebuild his teams as the years go by, as well as winning many trophies along the way.

Good luck with Moyes. Very Happy

by Kick Fri May 10, 2013 12:37 pm

I still cannot believe SAF won't be around next year.

Legendary manager that I have always had nothing but respect for. I would be lying if I said I want envious of him. The BPL won't be the same.

Proud

Good Luck Sir Alex. You deserve a break. Enjoy it!
