GRAEME SOUNESS: The disgraceful move to ditch Sir Alex Ferguson proves Man United's owners don't understand how football really works

Daily Mail  

I must say I am struggling to think of any action that the geniuses running Manchester United could have taken to turn more people against them than terminating Sir Alex Ferguson’s contract as a club ambassador. His 26 years at Old Trafford brought success surpassing any other period in the club’s history. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has axed Sir Alex Ferguson's lucrative ambassadorial deal in a shock move His 26 years at Old Trafford brought success surpassing any other period at Man United The legendary manager is the club's standard bearer for his achievements in a 26-year reign I know you get nothing for looking back in football. For me, this decision is proof that the people now running the club simply don’t understand how football works, how Manchester United work and how supporters view that institution.
