[size=18pt]Sir Alex Ferguson considering retiring as Manchester United manager before end of the week[/size]

Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United future was shrouded in doubt on Tuesday night with the Scot understood to be giving serious consideration to ending his 26-year reign as manager.

As rumours of the 71-year-old’s imminent retirement swept Manchester, senior figures at the club failed to respond to repeated attempts to confirm or deny the story, which emerged following United’s player versus coaches golf day at Dunham Massey on Tuesday afternoon.
With United now forced to adhere to the strict rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange in terms of the release of significant information relating to the running of the club following last August’s partial flotation, any change of management would fall within those requirements.
As of Tuesday night, no statement over Ferguson’s future had been issued by United.
However, with sources close to the players confirming that the squad’s golf day had been overshadowed by suggestions that the Scot would be making an announcement ahead of Sunday’s clash with Swansea at Old Trafford, any ongoing uncertainty is unlikely to be allowed to continue to the point where it would affect the confidence of investors and, in turn, United’s New York share price.
When United’s owners, the Glazer family, issued its prospectus for the club’s £500m bond issue in January 2010, the prospect of Ferguson leaving the club and potentially jeopardising future success was raised by the Americans as one of the risk factors attached to investing in the club.

Fergie may not retire anytime soon. He will probably die on the job


Frawzey

Mr Ferg has really tried as a coach in M.united. He came, saw and conquered. He has everything as a coach and for his club(if I'm not mistaken).Definitely he will retire and I so feel for all united fans because its not going to be easy adapting to a new manager. Haven said that, I wish baba all the best in his remaining yrs on earth. Gud nite guys.

He has already finished his role in English football history. But y is that we don't hear about ds gaffers sons playing football.

Abeg retire so that Chelsea will take over!!

No comment till it's comfirmed officially.

We ve seen this movie b4......wenever season ends there is always speculation about SAF leaving,don't be surprise when u see him in d dugout nxt season.so don't get ur hopes up,all u haters

I.Joan:

OH BOY EHHH sir alex pls no try am oh

Manure can not make top 4 without web/saf

Great news (from a Chelsea point of view)! Without this old babalawo, Man U would begin its long overdue descent into diminishing returns ala Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. Hopefully, his faithful slaves (e.g Howard Webb and Mark Clattenburg) would retire with him. The premiership would(n't) miss them.

Even after ur death we will bury u in OLD TRAFFORD!!! Lyk my broda ve said earlier on he came, he saw and he conquered!!! First page am dancing alingo ooo ooo....
