Sir Alex Ferguson Bides His Time

Sir Alex Ferguson

Old Traf­ford man­ager Sir Alex Fer­guson has, as the time hon­oured cliche has it, come a long way to the top. The Scot has built his whole mana­gerial career on the sound prin­ciples that he learned as a Cly­de­side appren­tice and over the years he has acquired a world wide repu­ta­tion for his fight­ing spirit and hon­est workmanship.

Under the wise and shrewd stew­ard­ship of the man who once man­aged min­nows East Stirl­ing­shire, Manchester United became the wealth­i­est soc­cer club in the world by far in the 1990´s by quite simply win­ning a lot of foot­ball matches. But after the euphoria comes the back­bit­ing. And while the Manchester United sup­port­ers turn against the Flor­ida based club own­ers, Sir Alex Fer­guson does not. With a head reas­on­ably full of know­ledge and exper­i­ence, the suc­cess­ful Manchester United gaf­fer calls for unity on and off the foot­ball field. Des­pite of the fact that Manchester United con­tinue to be linked with high pro­file inter­na­tional play­ers from all over the world, the exper­i­enced coach insists he is more than happy with his cur­rent Old Traf­ford squad and that he does not need to spend vast sums of money to recap­ture the Premier League title. Even though the per­sist­ent Manchester United offi­cials keep on stress­ing that the club is fin­an­cially secure, it is prob­ably only fair to say that too many bal­ance sheets are waver­ing in the soft sum­mer breeze at the very moment. It´s a well known fact that local brewer John Dav­ies saved New­ton Heath from going bank­rupt in 1902. In the sum­mer of 2003 came the Americans.
