Sad to see him go. Utd will be just another big club now, looking to keep at the top of the pile. I loved the fact that Fergie made everything personal, held grudges and generally was a spiteful old man (in a football sense) and I think English football will miss his passion to overturn the Liverpool empire and to slap down anyone who wanted to take on his own.
Are there any other managers who have been so successful at one club for such a long period of time? Johnathon Wilson always quotes Bela Gutmann? Who said a manager had a three year window before players started tuning them out and the manager had to move on. Fergie has remade his team countless times and kept winning, which makes him a different beast to many current managers.
I'm hoping utd do a Liverpool and get sent to the bottom of the league pile (high five to Graeme souness) but I think the board are smart enough not to employ Steve Bruce or Roy keane, but they'll be just like any other club now with the churn rate of managers speeding up exponentially with every down (not winning the league) season..
