The tabloid media has made declarations about the future of Sir Alex Ferguson who recently turned 67 years of age. He has been the manager of Manchester United since 1986. During his tenure, he has seen the club at Old Trafford in its times of euphoria and despair. He has also witnessed how a greedy family from the USA called The Glazers purchase Manchester United and convert it into a debt ridden club.

The media and others have made comments about the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson since he is now 67 years of age. It appears that there are people who are well intentioned who feels that he should rest. It also appears that there are others who have bad intentions and would like to see him retire so that they could become the new manager for Manchester United. The truth is that Sir Alex Ferguson has declared that he is going to remain at Old Trafford as long as health permits.

Why do people use the age factor in order to speed up retirement when the person who is of the age to retire wants to continue. Sir Alex Ferguson is still healthy and with the desire to remain as manager of Manchester United in order to train the successors of David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, and Cristiano Ronaldo. He also wants to be there as a safety net against the machinations of the Glazers who know nothing about football/soccer but know about money.

The age factor does not mattter since many professionals continue way into an advanced age. Bob Hope continued in show business until he was in his late 90’s. Compay Segundo and Sindo Garay [in Cuba] continued their careers until they were nearly 100 years old as well. Why should Sir Alex Ferguson retire when he is just beginning? He should remain as manager of manchester United and only he should decide whetehr he should retire or not.

The year 2010 is the greatest time for Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson as they struggle to remain on top at the Premier League. It is also the year that may witness the liberation of Manchester United from the Glazers. They are enjoying every moment of the 2009-2010 season and the 2010-2011 season is also a time to look forward.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United will have the opportunity to groom Javier [Chicharito] Hernandez [a recent transfer from Chivas of Guadalajara] to become the greatest in Old Trafford. The people who talk retirement for Sir Alex Ferguson should remain silent about retirement and concentrate on the team.
