Thank you for everything, Sir Alex  |
Hated because he was so successful. Suppose that's the definition of jealousy.
You gotta include the trophies he won with Aberdeen, notably a couple of leagues that broke up the old firm dominance and most of all winning the cup winners cup which was a major major trophy at the time.
A legend. Turned the club around and made them a serious football club from decades of failure and a holiday camp atmosphere. No doubt he'll be mentoring and available when called upon just as Sir Matt was/is to him. I'm undecided in Moyes only because of the size of the shoes he has to fill. Time will tell. If there's one thing going in his favour it's that he's cut from a similar cloth to SAF.
