Sir Alex retires
24 hours after the official announcement and I still can't get hold of my feelings about Sir Alex Ferguson retiring. For some it's just football but for me it's one of several things that I can count with my single hand that keeps me sane. My profession is quite stressful but watching football never fails to make me remember who I am. Manchester

My son grumbled when the news broke out about his retirement.
Cheer up :D

i was at work when it came out, i was so surprised. i cried in the call room and cried some more when i got home. i don't even know how my aunt feels, she's the one who is as fanatic as me in our family.
it's slowly sinking in but i literally wibble every time i see tribute videos. i was expecting at least another year or two, but one thing sir alex is consistent with is being unpredictable. i was in grade school when i started supporting United and it would be difficult to adjust. even worse Scholesy will also retire this year.
I'll probably break down during tonight's last home game though.

He thinks that Sir Alex left a big vacuum in the club and it will take long time before someone can fill it up.
Crossing fingers that they'll do well despite his absence.:D

It would be a shaky one for United but he left the club at a much better state when he inherited it. United were at the relegation zone in 1986 when he took over. I don't always agree with his judgment in selecting the team but as a judge of character he is amazing so I trust his words regarding David Moyes. I'll do as he demanded of the fans and the players, that is to stand behind the new manager.
