Yep, just like Usain Bolt if he retired before those last two races, in which he didn't win the 100m and pulled up in the relay race.Ferguson was no mug, he knew what was in store for united and got out to preserve his legacy. The league was about way too competitive for his liking and he knew City were going to be the best of the lot, so he bolted.
Smart old bastard if you ask me. United would've struggled with or without him in thr coming years and he knew it, and now his legacy is even greater because he knew he had to bow out. Had he stayed, his final years would've been like Wenger.
Legend has it, that when Mancini denied him the league in 2012, he stayed on for another year so he could end his career on a league title.
Clever old bastard indeed.
