Lots of time has passed since the departure of a certain Mr Ferguson;
It was 12 years on the 23rd of October (and I remember vividly that day on Sky Sports of that Sunday) Manchester United 1 Manchester City 6 at Old Trafford; seeing new blood from the blue in David Silva, Edin Dzeko, Sergio Aguero and the controversial Mario Balotelli.
The Man United team back then you would say in realism needed reviewing in players coming up to their shelf life and the unavoidable prospect of rebuilding.
Ferguson pulled off a Master Stroke of a quick fix signing Robin Van Persie in August 2012, winning a Record Title Number 20 in 2013 and guess what? At the age of 73, 26 years of service finally comes to an end as The Great Man himself calls Time.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this with any football club in Living memory of such long service and with that, the achievement of such decoration of Trophies.
Every Manager since then has at some point found a Tough Point. There’s so much say first and foremost of Money, contracts, terms-conditions.
I’ll tell you first hand United fans, you think Liverpool have got it good?
If we don’t underpin a combination of tying down our key figurehead players and signing/raising potentials, plus splashing out in risk of a Ready-Made or a B-Grade that we can make into somebody Special, then Liverpool too will be floundering.
