Summary: As a special tribute to the great Sir Alex Ferguson on the heels of receiving his final Premier League title on Sunday, Bob Cass of the Mail on Sunday gives us his thoughts not just on the greatest British manager and what led to this announcement, but also takes a look ahead with us in terms of the process for David Moyes at Manchester United. Obviously a landmark appointment in football history at one the biggest clubs in the world game, we try to get underneath the decision making process for David Moyes, what his first moves might in fact be, what awaits him in the face and shape of Wayne Rooney after having a fall out in the past at Everton, whether Moyes will be his own man and rebuild the club in his image and whether the media is overplaying the need to win a trophy quickly in his first season with the club. In part two, Phil and Anto work through many issues including the job Sir Alex turned in over his 26 seasons at the club, how in many way he over-performed given the type of approach he took in later years up against major spenders in Chelsea and Manchester City and how those values in the rear view mirror became even more important in this transition to David Moyes in the first place. We examine the impact of Sir Alex on the football club, the massive shadow he cast over everything at Old Trafford and begin to unpack the serious challenges that will await the new manager in the shape of an evolving Premier League, a rapidly changing marketplace for both top line and youth players, and that is before even discussing the commercial and competitive realities of doing battle with the elite clubs of the Champions League.
