"you don't know what you've got till it's gone".
Agreed - but not always for the worse!!
For all the moaning we all do about the guy, it's sad news for football. It's next season when we won't see him every week in interviews, chewing gum or having a rant, that we'll realise how one of the games' "characters" is no longer with us.
A character maybe, and certainly a massively successful manager. But too much of an ignorant manipulator for me to mourn his loss from the game.
Ferguson has been at United since I started following football as a lad. It's going to be very very strange seeing anyone else in that dug out.
Mourinho won't go to United. We can only dream of it, but it won't happen. He's not stupid.
Mourinho needs money, which united don't have in abundance like Chels & City. He's had it everywhere he's been, which is why some people still have doubts over his managerial skills, and how good he really is. There's no way he'll follow in the footsteps of Ferguson, only to be the one who "fails". His ego would take such a beating and he's not prepared for that.
In the same way that Ferguson knows that Chelsea and city can outspend them, (which is probably why he's got out with reputation intact before it's too late), Mourinho won't want to have that financial restriction.
Agree with this as reasoning for him not replacing Fergie
I'll be amazed if he's not at Chelsea next season.
