I have a problem with Mourinho, I think he could bring us success but you could never expect him to stay more then 5 years.

I'd like another dynasty please!

Greatest manager of all time. Thank you Sir Alex.

GLaDOS

Well my skepticism was misplaced it seems. Bit of an upheaval in in the premier league ahead, especially if they get the next appointment wrong.

There's a strong chance I'll turn in to an emotional wreck if someone branches the subject with me today.

Crap.

By far. There will never be another one like him unfortunately.

Fixed that for you.

With the greatest respect in the world, this is very good news.

Fingers crossed for Moyes.

Fair play to him for staying in the role for so long, hopefully their new manager lasts as long as a manager at Chelsea:D

Losing to Rafa at Old Traffordmust have pushed him over the edge. :pac:

At last!!! 11 years too late, but I'm still smiling. Welcome to the real world Man Utd supporters :-)

BTW, hats off. His achievements will never be matched. He deserves the opportunity to spend the rest of his life basking in the glory.

Amazing. Delighted!!

Ferguson has loomed large in my footballing experience. Always there, always winning things, always making the right moves regarding buying and selling of players. You could argue that he should have won another CL or two, but that's a minor point regarding his legacy. Probably the GOAT and I'm over the moon that his reign of terror is at an end!

Be hilarious if they appointed Mourinho! Seriously though I hope it's bollix.

I would ****ing love it if they did.

Big loss to the game, but it was to be expected.

the best thing I can say is I can't wait to see the back of him.

Fergie to City.

Heard it here first.

Been waiting for this moment since before I was born.

Bye bye Fergie, you leg end.

Can't believe it. Football will be strange without him, considering he has been in charge since before I was born.

Yeah right. Get ready to join the rest of us and our non super human, mere mortal managers.

Next season is going to be brilliant.

No matter who goes in there will have impossible shoes to fill.

murpho999

Like others here I'm delighted to see him go.

The ultimate compliment really, showed what an impact he has had.

Mint Sauce

The barren spell begins now!!

Wonder if José Mourinho was talking about the EPL last week, and not just Chelsea with his comments.

Jürgen Klopp

Glad to have witnessed Alex Ferguson and what he has done with Manchester United, I dont ever think we will witness his type of greatness and achievements ever again,

As a Chelsea fan Im happy but as a football fan Im very sad

peteeeed

Jürgen Klopp

with fergie staying on at the club it must mean its moyes taking over with ferguson in the background

klose

Big dave whealan called it last season. WE DIDNT LISTEN

On a serious note it was a pleasure to see some of his teams and is undoubtedly the greatest to date, he cannot be replaced in my opinion. End of an era stuff today.

Cienciano

Delighted he's gone!
But the best manager of all time, how he was successful for so long is amazing. Constantly building new United teams and seeing off new clubs challenging for the title.

ROCKMAN

Manuel Pellegrini

My 2 cents...

If FERGIE didn't act now . Mourinho would be lost to chelsea.....




Thank you Fergie for so so many memories............

A true legend............

Mourinho at evens with most bookies now.
Would be a very poor appointment in my eyes, from stability to a 3 season melt-down.

Cannot believe it, shocking news. Thought it was just gossip.

Ehh, sure, maybe, yeah, yeah.

Dave!

Is that 10am press conference a goer or what? Has it been confirmed?

kstand

Would take Mourinho for sure - proven pedigree. Other than that the only other man on that list that could bring us in is Michael Laudrup.

Maybe Im looking for some comfort, but 'King' Kenny had a few stints - if finding a suitable, longterm manager proves difficult could Fergie come back? Health permitting?

That's complete bollocks IMO. He's a proven manager at this level.

Some poor wishful thinking here.

sick to my stomach, exam in 3 hours, great.

Apparently, he's been appointed the new chief executive of the Referee's Association.

This is on the basis that he knows more about the rules than all the current members put together.
