SAF : No To Young Man!!

Legendary Manager

Sir Alex Ferguson believes he shouldn't be replaced as Manchester United boss by a young man

Sir Alex Ferguson says the Wayne Rooney saga has proved that Manchester United must not look for a young boss when he eventually retires.

Ferguson was still an ambitious 45-year-old when he took over at Old Trafford in 1986 and had never managed in England before then.

But he believes the complexities of the modern game mean United couldn’t afford to take a similar gamble again.

Ferguson said: 'I don’t think it’s harder for managers to deal with – I’ve just got the benefit of having been at the club for such a long time.

'I have experienced a lot of things that do happen and there have been times in the past when I have gone down the same road.

'When you are the manager of our club, you have to have someone strong who can deal with all the issues and we have had to be strong over the years.

'That’s why I don’t think Manchester United could ever go down the road of having a young manager, to be honest with you.Off the main contenders to replace Ferguson when he eventually retires, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho will be 48 in February, while Everton boss David Moyes is 47 and Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill 58.

Betol gak apa yg gaffer kiter cakap!! Kalau menager yg muda2 ni takut tak boleh handle sangat pressure..and tak banyak young manager yg berjaya!! Bagi aku personally memang la nak manager dari ex-MU player coz diorg TRUE RED n 'mesti dah tau sejarah kelab..especially Giggsy,Robson,Hughes n Bruce termasuk Keano!! Tapi lani Keano tengah struggle dgn club yg dia manage iaitu Ipswich Town..entah la maybe pasal dia muda lagi kot!! Entahla..aku harap siapa2 pun yg ganti SAF nanti mestilah yg berkaliber and berjiwa UNITED!! Full story here..
