		When Ferguson made a rare and fundamental mistake in the organisation of his life and his career, and prematurely announced his retirement, it was his wife and sons who saw most clearly that for him an honoured retirement would not be a prize but a sentence.
		Sir Bobby Charlton saw it clearly enough when, as a United director, he elected himself to the job of finding a man who would not be dwarfed by the weight of Busby's legacy, a task that had been beyond such formidable football men as Frank O'Farrell, Tommy Docherty, Dave Sexton and Ron Atkinson.
		Ferguson's war with the Irish horsemen plutocrats John Magnier and J P McManus was always going to be perilous in the shadow of the Glazer takeover.

		I've written extensively elsewhere that it is time for Sir Alex Ferguson to step down and leave Manchester United in the summer of 2006 after 20 glorious years at the helm.
		Ferguson, I fear, has no such ability and ultimately this will be his downfall, frozen in time, blinded by the glory of past success.
		Moreover Ferguson's success was achieved on the back of youthful, exciting, attacking football in the best traditions of Manchester United – he did indeed dare to do mighty things.

		In December 1986 Alex Ferguson was just a few weeks into his new job as manager of Manchester United while David Beckham was a nervous 11-year-old about to perform in front of a packed Old Trafford for the first time.
		Ferguson and the stars of the United first team were a long way from the terraced houses surrounding the homely Cliff training ground in Salford -- now replaced by a state-of-the-art complex 10 miles out of the city with security like a prison.
		Ferguson offered unconditional support through Beckham's lowest moment -- the red card in England's 1998 World Cup defeat against Argentina -- and the player did not forget it as he signed a five-year contract to show his loyalty to the club.

		Ferguson celebrates an incredible 20 years in the Red Devils hot-seat on Monday, when the great and the good of English football will gather in the north-west for a lunch in his honour.
		Ferguson has fallen foul of both elements within Scholes' personality, complaining bitterly that the Salford-born player likes to use him as target practice at the end of training sessions, an allegation the player strenuously denies.
		Ferguson also had to deal with possibly the most controversial moment of the midfielder's entire career when he refused to play in a Worthington Cup third round tie at Arsenal in 2001, definitely one of the times when Scholes thought he had pushed his manager just a little bit too far.
