Good Bye, Sir Alex

   After 27 years and 1,500 games, Sir Alex Fergusson has retired as manager with Manchester United. And he didn't go out on a winning note, as the Red Devils managed a 5-all tie with West Brom United. Still, Man U were champions again, for the 20th time, in 2013. (See my blog of April 24.)
   Sir Alex was a controversial manager, and it's believed his style lead to the departure of several notable players, not the least of who was David Beckham. Still, you can't deny his successes. 13 Premiership wins as manager, 5 FA Cup, 4 League Cup, 2 UEFA Champions League titles, and one each in UEFA Cup Winner's Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
   Kinda speaks for itself, don't it?
   Even though he's retired as manager, Ferguson will remain with the club as a director and ambassador. As for his successor, Man U has tapped Everton manager David Moyes, a fellow Scotsman, to take over.
   Goodbye Alex, and good luck David!
   'Nuff said.
   And yes, I am a Manchester United supporter.
