When my top flight career ended in England I decided to move to the North American game, and Canada, where I spent some time with Montreal Manic. My managerial career began in Canada too, with a spell at the short lived franchise Nova Scotia Clippers – I have such an affinity with the country, and…
I was asked to speak to Setanta Sports regarding the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson from Manchester United earlier today. Here are my thoughts, which I thought I would share with readers of my website.
Before the news about Sir Alex Ferguson, I’d prepared an article about Millwall and Kenny Jackett. Kenny resigned after a good spell in charge of the club, about six years, and in my eyes did a great job. I’ll give my full thoughts on the news about Sir Alex if and when an announcement is…
