Talking of Ferguson… it seems like he’s still an advocate… I can’t imagine he didn’t have some sort of say in Solksjaer’s appointment.
Anyone would have been crap here…we were a shit Premier League team (both times). He’s very obviously talented… a business that size wouldn’t make that appointment without appropriate due diligence… the 3 manager’s before him were no mugs and he’s doing better than all 3 of them as well as their playing style being far more attractive…
As for us?… well, we’re beautiful to watch aren’t we and have got progressively more stylish each year since his departure 😢
