8 Things we will miss about Sir Alex

1. The Man Himself:

Without doubt! What will be missed most is the charismatic presence of a man that is difficult to miss in a football game. At the ripe age of 71, the man was seen jumping up and down in the dugout, screaming instructions, insults or tactics to his players in what went on to become his last season. During every difficult phase, the United faithfuls have taken solace in the presence of the great man! Always depending upon him to pull a rabbit out of the bag and the Scott rarely failed to deliver.

The man has left behind huge shoes to fill! One can’t help but feel a little sorry for David Moyes, who will take his place next season. Yet, in all rational thought, SAF seems to have made the right call by choosing a man with lesser fame, but a proven track record and a rich eye for talent. United have once again invested in another Scotsman with a long term plan in mind – surely on the recommendation of their talisman for all of the last two decades. Only time will tell if his last appointment as Manchester United’s manager was a wise call like most others in his long, evergreen career!

“I would like to remind you this club stood by me in bad times, the players and the staff. Your job now is to stand by the new manager.” and Fergie signed off on that note. Thank you Sir Alex, for several years of heart-wrenching football – you taught us everything about being a fan, a fanatic and a true Red Devil!
