History would suggest that having Mr Ferguson about the place would risk putting unbearable pressure on the new manager.Imagine that United lost a couple of games early next season,it doesn't bear thinking about.Funnily enough this is a club that has experienced the negativity that comes with keeping a previous managerial giant about the place.When Matt Busby moved up stairs, Wilf McGuiness was promoted from within to the manager's job.Such were the pressures that Wilf's hair literally turned white overnight! Similarily, when Bill Shankly resigned as manager of Liverpool Football Club he used to turn up at the training ground and the players would still refer to him as boss.His replacement Bob Paisley had to ask the board to either keep Bill away or he would have to resign! It just doesn't work.

AND tonight on the news it showed the streets of Manchester filled with people saying goodbye - it said nearly 700 thousand!!!!!!!!!!! If ever you needed an endorsement, surely that's it?

The best manager ever and in such a difficult job - and he's Scottish. Nobody can deny his success and that's a fact. I say it again - Legend!!! :D

A miserable playing career at the club that used to play at ibrox, a wretched performance as Scotland manager on more than one appointment, sacked by St Mirren under scandalous circumstances , forced to flee to en@land where in his last game in charge his team lose 5 goals.

Glittering career......see ya.

Let's not forget the scandal surrounding Ferguson,his son Jason and the Elite agency. :<>

Then there was the "Rock of Gibraltar" debacle. Roy Keane accused Ferguson of putting his own interests ahead of the club’s, stating the case of Rock of Gibraltar as a key example of selfishness. :<>

I was going to post this tomorrow, it being 30 years on but I may forget so here you are - Ferguson's post match interview after Aberdeen have just retained the Scottish Cup. This only 10 days after beating Real Madrid in Gothenburg. Aye, he is a legend.

Skip to 2.20 if you don't want to watch the football.

Should Scotland be an Independent country?

Yes, I believe Scotland is a country and should therefore govern itself.
No, Scotland is not a country it is simply part of the UK and should therefore be governed from London.

Now he's an ambassador, does that mean that anyone who upsets him with an awkward question will get his legate ?
