You can't have former managers hanging about however good they were, simply not right.Ferguson lurking in the background is not helping things at United. They had a similar issue with Matt Busby till they essentially pushed him out. One of the smartest moves Liverpool did was to ban Shankly from the training ground. They got a lot of flak for it but it was a good call.
Ferguson's presence just confirms Solskjaer's role as a poodle and must be one of the reasons the players show him little or no respect. Having baconface giving the team little pep talks before big games is pathetic. Can you imagine Pep (or any serious manager) allowing that sort of thing on a match day. The club has become a laughing stock. Long may it last.
He should be nowhere near that club, not even in the stands.
