		Ferguson's style is aberrant and sharp while the humor swings between in-your-face to wildly subtle.

	BBC SPORT \| SPORTS TALK \| Why is Fergie quitting Man Utd?
		Ferguson's decision to leave United at the end of next season is probably the wisest thing for him and the club.
		Ferguson has clearly done a wonderful job at Old Trafford for United, but the thought of him being there in the background whilst a new manager tries to set his own standards for the club is a non-starter.
		Ferguson has done a excellent job at Man U. He should leave Man U completely, so he will always be remembered as the greatest, whatever happens afterwards.

	United will try to close gap with Ferguson - Telegraph
		Ferguson wants to be rewarded for has almost single-handedly turning United into the world's wealthiest football club with 14 trophies in 14 seasons.
		Unless a compromise can be reached, there appears little hope of Ferguson serving the club after next season, but the PLC board will meet on Friday to discuss their next move before Ferguson sits down with the football club board next Monday or Tuesday.

	Amazon.co.uk: Hokkaido Highway Blues: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ferguson has to battle with a deep sense of suspicion of foreigners from many he meets throughout his journey yet at the same time he over comes many of the stereo types both he and others have had about what Japanese people think about "Gaijin" (foreigners).
		Ferguson has a way with words which comes across as very natural, as if the paragraphs of text are just rolling off his tongue with no forethought; just sheer exuberant whit and at times politically incorrect humour.
		It will make you smile, laugh and at times leave you in deep sense of contemplation as Ferguson weaves his masterful pros and tell his story of what, to him at least, must have been a pretty epic journey of mind, spirit and realisation.

		Ferguson's manages to amplify what would otherwise be stock descriptions of Japan with anecdotes, and this is the inertia of this travelogue.
		Ferguson, hand always heavy on the humour throttle, just rides on past his characters as if they were token landmarks on a tourist's highway.
		Ferguson seems insensitive to the Japanese efforts to accomodate him and his opinions, crying foul when he's called out for his foreign stubbornness, yet one page later retroactivel doing the same categorising of his subjects.

		The Ferguson two point hitch, or Ferguson Duplex hitch was not ideal for the wide variety of different implements Harry Ferguson always had in mind, mainly due to it’s lack of torsional stability and slightly adverse steering characteristics.
		The Ferguson virtual hitch-point principle was applied to the two new double lower links by arranging for their line of pull to converge at or near the centre of the front axle.
		Other new Ferguson features were an ingenious method of adjusting the new row crop front axle with a new double drag link steering box to supplement the Ferguson Rear wheel System that had been used on the 'A' but improved by dishing the rear wheel disc to allow double the number of wheel settings, i.e.

	Blogcritics.org: Book Review: Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw by Will Ferguson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It's not that Ferguson doesn't acknowledge that Canada is evolving; it's just that he recognizes that change is like glaciers, with the past permanently etching the landscape in a way that 5 or ten years worth of snowstorms can, at most, only camouflage.
		Ferguson notes: "With the appointment of James Douglas as governor, any pretext of separate domains, one commercial and one imperial, ended." Decades pile up, but Canada still exists in the paths carved out by the glaciers of history.
		One gets a sense that Ferguson is pathologically incapable of staying still, driven by a restless curiousity about each new "somewhere else." His father, too, was unable to stay still, coming and going from the family throughout the author's childhood.
