Ferguson is entering the ninth 10 years of his life, the old man who created the second generation of Manchester United dynasty is 80 years old and has been retiring at Manchester United for nearly 10 years. Many people believe that Ferguson is still interfering in everything in Manchester United after retirement, from the selection of managers, reinforcements, tactical arrangements, etc., and even some people think that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and other Manchester United DNA coaching staff are actually Ferguson's puppet coaches who continue to coach Manchester United.
Ferguson's influence at Manchester United: Ronaldo's return and exit from the European Premier League
We already know a lot about Ferguson's influence, with Manchester United drawing 1-1 with Everton at Old Trafford in October 2021. Ferguson was filmed talking to UFC boxer Habib, Ferguson's remarks that he should let C Ronaldo start caused an uproar, if you consider that before the game Solskjaer believed that C Ronaldo should be given a break, Ferguson's remarks were once widely quoted and disseminated by the media, thus putting great pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's coaching, and six weeks later, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left Manchester United. TA magazine believes that this matter is part of Ferguson's invisible influence.
Ferguson's influence on Manchester United is ubiquitous, and Manchester United did not communicate with Ferguson when they joined the European Super League, but Ferguson made it clear before it was launched, and the Glazer family, without Ferguson's support, had to announce their withdrawal from the European Premier League under great pressure.
And C Ronaldo's transfer is even more so, TA magazine revealed that before the transfer of C Ronaldo, Ferguson dialed Joel Glazer's phone, and after a fierce debate, persuaded Joel Glazer to introduce C Ronaldo. Manchester United insiders revealed that Ferguson rarely calls Glazer, but when it was found that Ronaldo's transfer to Manchester City would cause great pressure on Manchester United, Ferguson did not hesitate to exert his influence.
Ferguson's helplessness: Manchester United's business plan
Ferguson has been feedback on the excessive commercialization of Manchester United, and during the Ferguson period, Manchester United has maintained a cautious commercial expansion momentum, and believes that commercial sponsorship should not be overemphasized in Manchester United's publicity. The clear attitude of Ferguson's coaching period once made the Glazer family have the idea of changing coaches.
Manchester United's official publicity channel first published sponsor ads in 2013. This year Ferguson began to retire, and Sandoko began to take charge of Manchester United's executive vice-chairman, the picture below is manchester United's first sponsorship advertisement in 2013.
Ferguson's decision: Not involved in Solskjaer's dismissal decision
In October 2021, United lost 5-0 to Liverpool. After that game, Ferguson visited the Carrington base, and the media once thought that Ferguson was involved in the decision-making meeting to fire Solskjaer and hire Ronnick. However, TA magazine dismissed this as nonsense through interviews, and Ferguson did visit the Carrington base just to try on a club suit designed by designer Smith.
Ferguson, of course, was asked for the opinion of the manager, Ferguson only expressed his own opinion, as to whether the club accepted it, Ferguson never cared. Ferguson is a member of the Manchester United Football Committee, which is a symbolic position, and on the Manchester United Football Committee, there are also tasks such as Bobby Charlton, former CEO David Gill, and non-executive director Edelson.
Ferguson's influence: a mentor in the life of many disciples
Ferguson wants to watch Manchester United at Old Trafford, where Ferguson is not just a fan, but also a meeting place for many of his disciples. Ferguson often invited his former disciples and colleagues to sit on their own lounge couch at Old Trafford and drink a glass of red wine to reminisce about his past.
Every Manchester United manager has been invited, including Lonnick, Armas and others in the new coaching staff. Evra and the students of Class 92 are regular visitors here, and they regularly discuss with each other about Manchester United and other clubs, analyze the game and analyze the situation of the coach.
Bart consulted Ferguson before leaving Manchester United. Bart added: "Every time I decided what I was going to do, I would pick up the phone and ask for Ferguson's opinion, and every time our important decision was made without consulting Ferguson, Ferguson would express his dissatisfaction."
Battle said: Ferguson cares about the future of every disciple he has taught and is more than happy to help accordingly. After each meeting, Ferguson would say to his disciples: Ask Ferguson about foreign affairs, and a phone call will give you life guidance and all the help.
Countless people have said that Ferguson cares deeply about his club and he regards Manchester United as a legacy he has created. But it put a lot of pressure on the incoming Ferguson manager, and Ferguson obviously knew that, so after Moyes joined Old Trafford, Ferguson said to his disciples: I don't want to be a shadow of the new manager.
As a result, Ferguson was rarely involved in specific things at the club unless United called Ferguson. Ferguson's favorite thing to do now is to go to carrion in Carrington's academy in the twilight and watch The Manchester United academy trainers train. Twilight is an old man's remembrance of the past years.
