As a die hard United fan it is hard trying to explain to people that despite my London accent, I was actually born in Manchester. Oh well.. I wouldn't believe me either. But it's true. I am definitely a thinker of the game, my favorite coaches are of course Sir Alex and the Special One. My favorite player of all time is Zinedine Zidane.

Well so much for my predictions, but after overcoming the initial shock of Sir Alex Ferguson’s announcement to retire and then the even bigger kicker of the announcement that followed and his fellow Glaswegian taking the reigns, I have to come to terms with it and by doing so I will try and understand why?
