its already nailed on.....David Moyles.....he is just a mini Ferguson and will carry on tradition of bringing through and developing youth. He is the sort to honour the traditions of the great club. It nice to see a british manager been given the chance to manage at the highest level as well.
& the hardest job in football . . . trying to not trip over a blade of grass and demand a penalty, not spitting, not biting and not trying to behave like a bunch of overpaid pratts.
. . . . sorry, football isn't my game.
On the upside on this story, the refs will be glad to see the back of Ferguson.
Yes let's just over pay pop stars and actors who earn far more than footballers do for less time spent at work eh! or save the money and give it to the bank managers and CEO's who make a total mess of the company and give them even more bonus's.
When Beckham met Posh he was worth £5 million, She was worth £28 million, he was fast becoming the best crosser of the ball and play maker in his profession, she was another female with a half decent body who with the help of the studio equipment and the songwriters could make a record.
Why do people who don't like football (and a few who do) think that footballers at the top of their profession earn too much when they know they have such a short working lifespan at that level.
Cliff, still earning after a lifetime of working, Michael Jackson, dead and still his estate earns a fortune, Actors still making movies after 50 years in the business, I am not saying they don't earn their high salaries but why are only footballers singled out ?
Why not golfers and racing car drivers who become millionaires through their work ?
What about the man in charge of Stafford Hospital who was ultimately responsibe for the chaos there that killeds hundreds if not thousands of patients who left there to go to an even higher paid position in the NHS ?
At least footballers don't get public salaries or involuntary money from your taxes they get it from the popularity of the sport, the sponsorships that wouldnt sponsor them if it wasnt so popular, the TV companies that know they can make money out of showing the sport, the fans who pay for replica kits and to see them play ie money gained volunrarily.
If you don't want to pay their wages, dont buy the kit, dont go to the matches, dont pay for Sky Sports.
Ask the players at Port Vale or Acrington Stanley why they think an average of £50 grand a year is not excessive.
Absolutely not Gerty, the subject is football and everyone is entitled to their opinion on the subject, I respect your right to your views even if I don't agree with them, but actually I do agree that footballers are too high paid, I just don't think it fair to single them out in a world were so many are too highly paid for what they do and many of them not worthy of any pay whatsoever for what they do.
" Who wants the 2nd hardest job in English Football "
yea....guess the vacant post as the new Wolves manager is the hardest of all !!!!
And as it happens it looks like a certain Mr Ferguson may well be taking over there !!!!!
I would like to see more fair play in football, but footballers are human, unlike Politicians they are not paid to set an example though setting an example would be a good thing.
There are some admirable actions, for example the Guard of Honour given to the Manchester United players by the Arsenal players when they took to the pitch a couple of weeks ago, the actions of Robbie Fowler when he refused a penalty but sadly the most media coverage is of the bad examples.
I don't think that as many British Footballers are as financially motivated as some would have us believe, yes they earn a lot but many could earn even more by choosing to go abroad but choose to stay in the British Leagues, Giggs, Fowler, Beckham (who would have stayed at Utd if he could have) Shearer and others could have earned much more in europe in their haydays.
