These last six months or so Man Utd fans have been pining over the retirement of Alex Fergsuon as manager. Now it seems that all along the man they should have been lamenting the loss of was Mike Phelan, Fergie's assistant at Utd.
From The Irish Mail on Sunday:
‘With the way things have gone, my first thoughts are to be the boss, yeah. It’s the progression for me now.
'That’s what I’ve been doing for the last five years, albeit with the title of assistant boss,’ Phelan said.
‘He [Ferguson] was the head of the establishment, there’s no doubt about it and rightly so. He didn’t get to where he’s got through not being a big decision maker but he’ll be the first to admit that a lot of people played their part in that.
'We all were undercover in that respect. We weren’t the face of what was going on but that was our job. There’s no problem with that from my point of view. The blinkers are off now because I’m outside of all that.
That's David Moyes' successor sorted then.
