    Rumours Sir Alex is acting as Director of Football during the Mata negotiations.

    Thoughts on this?

    Was thinking that was the case behind the scenes, but if true he's going down a route he said he wouldn't, as in he wouldn't get involved after retirement like SMB did but its looking like he doesn't trust his choice to do the job he was recommended to do.

    If anything it shows Fergie doesnt have as much faith in his chosen successor as he first thought.

    Though Moyes clearly needs help from someone, why not from the best man in the game. If Moyes isnt big enough to learn from it then goodbye.

    in 69, Busbys successor clearly wasnt big enough to handle it. Few would be. Those who can are the right man for the job.

    What a good idea, let the fella who didn't deal with the midfield problem deal with the midfield problem.

    So he'll chew gum in Mata's face, occasionally tapping his watch and finally opening turning on the hairdryer to make him put pen to paper :D

    Moyes would feel he is to become a complete puppet merely by Fergie's presence imo. It would definitely make his job much more difficult with Fergie looming over him.

    I would say UTD are using SAF experience to help Moyes get the players he needs, than SAF being a DoF on a permanent basis

    It still smacks of lack of confidence in Moyes taking care of it.


    Fergie: "come and play for my mate David" "he's a really cool bloke I swear" "c'mon you know you want to" <laugh>

    I knew he would be involved in the deal, i'm sure this happens all the time at Bayern Munich.
