If Fergie is gone...

And Man Utd starts to become a mid-league club, or even almost at relegation zone, what will happen? Top stars leave? Who will be the one still loyal?
As for the fans, will you be still supporting this club? I will...
Well this is just for pure football discussion. There may be a little arguements but strictly no flamings allow, or personal attack. If gets out of hand, I may close this thread.

eventually, all that we know will be history.
perhaps when we next talk about gerrard, lampard, rooney will be at some kopi-tian with some other old folks. Time and Tide waits for no-one lah.
I do expect the next manager to have some steel also like a mark hughes or etc. -
I think alot depends on who's taking over SAF?
I believe its the manager that makes the difference. having the correct manager will buy the correct players and the club can soar. Liverpool is a great club, but put in the wrong managers, buy the wrong players and you will get nothing. So what if you have a rich history, ppl are concerned with the current status & the playing style & managers. -
True the manager may be important but overall the club must also continue to be successful outside of football. Picking the right players is one thing, but being able to afford for them is another altogether... True liverpool may not have some good manages over the yrs but Gerard Houllier was a rather ok one i thought... I guess they didn't know how to market themselves during the last 20 yrs unlike united, who made lots of money outside of football itself and used it to their teams benefit.Originally posted by red_amoeba:I think alot depends on who's taking over SAF?

If the top management team is busy doing their job, the club may grow bigger like united. If the owner, like pool's sit back and ralax and only interested in watching football, then the club can only go so far... There won't be any extra funds coming in besides the usual gate collections and etc...
If you put mour in wenger's position, one have to wonder if he can do as well cos arsenal really lack funds yet wenger still manager to do rather well with what he has got... He look ahead a few yrs by getting potential young players in early and hope they do well in a few yrs time (no guarantees). This way, they save having to make expensive purchase but they lose too if the players doesn't make it. Mour even with the unlimited millions, he is still struggling at present...
So a lot goes down to the combination of a few things i guess.

Well but Mour has proven that he can do well in a not so rich club at PortoOriginally posted by zocoss:True the manager may be important but overall the club must also continue to be successful outside of football.

In comes Keano?
-
Even if SAF retires, he will still be offered a lifetime Board Membership in Mancherster United, and even though if hes retired, i dun think he will ever want to disassociate himself with football totally. Maybe he'll put his time in some youth football academy? Hes the sort of rare breed, the kind that comes once in a life time and thank god that he came in my lifetime.
As to who might be able to fill in his shoes when hes gone is something i do not want to speculate on, but im sure SAF already has someone on his mind who might be able to carry on the legacy that he left behind, besides, hes already rebuilding the team for the future manager to take over. -

I do know of Leeds supporters Like Rojak, even though Leeds is not doing well.
For me, I supported MUFC when they were not doing well, Gary Bailey was keeper then. So with their new found success, it is good for all the hard work finally bear fruit... -
how do you define support in the first place?
only fans in england can prove how much they support their team.
they continue to turn up for matches even though their teams are in league champion or league one.
i hate to say this but it is true.
how many people in asia support mickey mouse clubs? most asians support teams like man u, liverpool, chelsea, arsenal, spurs etc.
i dont see someone starting a thread of forest and claim they are supporters. are there no forest supporters? even when they were european champions?
a lot of people say they will go through thick and thin with their beloved club but you know there is no way to prove it.
its obvious. because no matter how bad things are it wont be too bad for teams like liverpool, man u, arsenal, chelsea etc. -
I will switch team! I will sarport Chelsea!!
No lah kidding.. Cannot lah.. Man U play like shiet also I heart broken but still sayang my Devils..

hope keano or eric the king will come and manage

glazers will sell man u
-
i will still support la, but siao liao lo, no fergie, no man u

untrue... ball will keep rolling.Originally posted by gigabyte14:i will still support la, but siao liao lo, no fergie, no man u
perhaps without SAF, we may suffer a bit, but I believe we will bounce back sooner than later. -
