Purple nose decided to leave after his beloved club were dicked at home by CityThe rot isn’t recent
I think Ferguson knew which way the club was heading and got out at the perfect time for him managerial legacy. He’s an astute man, I think he sensed the club was no longer going to be the powerhouse it was, more competitive clubs on the up. Football is a fickle sport, a lot of his achievements could be tarnished by a few years of the club going further downhill with him in charge. He timed his exit perfectly. I believe that’s the main reason he retired.
But I don’t know why Man Utd fans except him to speak out against the owners. He’s made a load of money from them, he loves a pound note, that’s why he always demanded no player earned more than the manager, so he would have no problem taking any amount from the club and bite the hand that feeds him. I’m sure he does love the club but I’m certain he would never put them before himself, like their fans want.
But come to think of it I’m not even really sure what their fans problem with the owners are? They say they take money out of the club but they don’t seem to have any problem spending 80 million on the likes of Harry Maguire and Sancho, it’s not really the owners fault that they turn out to be underwhelming. They seem a very well backed club by their owners..
