I said the exact same sort of thing to my wife, maybe just being a bit of a sore loser, but it does seem a bit suspect, that qpr where giving their all in defence, then all of a sudden didn't try as hard. oh well, well done city

your joking right?

you see the emotion on players faces..managers..if that was fixed the the best oscar award goes to...the man city squad..

Take that Manc scum!

that was a fantastic finish by City, what an amazing game! I thought they had lost it and I was thinking United had the title, oh well. But United lost it a few weeks ago, City deserved it.

Amazing career extends for at least one more year:

Ferguson retiring, wow, the end of an era.


tried to check out Manutd.com:

PAGE UNAVAILABLE

We are sorry that, due to unprecedented, global interest in the announcement of Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, you may be experiencing some difficulties accessing ManUtd.com.

This story was the Global no1 social media story within 8 minutes, has already generated greater exposure than the replacement Pope and passing of Margaret Thatcher.

Thank you for your patience and support. We appreciate your persistence in seeking to send a message of thanks to Sir Alex. You can also show your appreciation via facebook (http://www.facebook.com/manutd) which will be logged into the message book.

Love him or hate him Sir Alex is the greatest manager to ever grace the game. Indeed end of an era.

Personally if I was a UTD fan I would want David Moyes as the next manager. He has done a magnificant job at Everton with very little resources. In reality Everton have probably overachieved most seasons with the squad he has and Moyes is great in the transfer market. He' s a very committed manager and is a good choice for building a team for the long term.

Mourinho is a poor choice. He never sticks at a club for long, its all about him and not the club. I have no doubt he would win UTD some trophies but lets face it his teams don't always play good football. I have no doubt he's jockying for the position right now but I believe Sir Alex's successor has already been chosen for a while. He's great entertainment but I wouldn't want him at my club.

Agree, I would pass on José as well. Moyes might be a good fit indeed; others that come to mind are Solskjaer (good results in Norway it seems, but maybe still a little too unexperienced on the big stage), Klopp (Dortmund play amazing football but he seems to be very devoted to stay there), or why not just promote Phelan?

I would say Solskjaer has no experience in the 'big leagues' sso to speak, not to dissmiss the work he has done in Norway but the PL is a major challenge. Klopp would be great especially as it seems his team is going to see many departures at the end of the season. It was suggested a few months ago he might be the replacement. Again I don't think Phelan has the experience/ skill to take hold of one of the biggest football teams in the world.

So Moyes is official. I think it can work out long term, no one can follow Sir Alex but the fans need to be patient and respectful and ultimately need to lower their expectations a little (yeah right). They simply won't win as much under another manager no matter who it is. There has been a few times when UTD have won the league with an inferior team, that's the magic of the guy who left. Next season is gonna be interesting.
