The lunatics took over the asylum when SAF was allowed to carry on for so long,creating a problem of succession both at managerial level and a team that was not getting any younger. A few seasons without silverware or Eurpoean football will be a blessing to us all.
Alex Ferguson announced he was retiring at the end of the 2002 season. He then changed his mind. He went on to win the following silverware.
At what point do you think he should not have been allowed to carry on?

It would have taken a lunatic to remove Ferguson anytime after 2002.
I must admit, I am actually looking forward to watch United play this evening... if Moyes was still in charge not so much. Even so it will be difficult to have a fair assessment of Giggs' with only four games.
