Hail the Bradman of British Football Managers!!
Sralex has announced his retirement and I confess that I did not anticipate this. He is as clearly in another league to other managers as Bradman is to cricketers except that cricket has the unique international dimension. As much as I would like to say that he's the supreme manager, bar none, I don't think that his astounding record in English football can be easliy compared to other nations. As a United fan, I'm also pleased with his choice of succcessor, David Moyes. I'm expecting more great things. On a sentimental note, I like to think that he restored Busby's legacy. I've written in other posts of Busby's moral achievement and in the almost two decades after the 1968 European Cup triumph United had lost a lot of the lustre.Sir Matt Busby was a very different personality than Sir Alex Ferguson but what they shared was an unquenchable passion for football. David Moyes seems to sshare this. Good luck to him.
