Sir Alex To Stay On

    FERGIE FOR 20-YEAR STRETCH?

    Sir Alex Ferguson could make it 20 years as Manchester United manager as the club admit they are in in talks about a contract extension to take him beyond 2005.

    Ferguson took over at Old Trafford in 1986 and had announced his intention to retire in 2002 - before agreeing a new three-year deal that expires at the end of next season.

    And now it seems that he will stay even longer, with the club confirming that they want to extend his contract further on the day that they announced an increase in pre-tax profits.

    New chief executive David Gill said: "We would like Sir Alex to continue and Sir Alex would like to continue so we are holding discussions and I'm sure they will come to a positive conclusion."

    Ferguson has been the most successful manager of the modern era of football - winning eight league titles and the European Cup during his tenure at the club.

    The club's signings in the summer gave the clearest early indication that Ferguson was going to stay on beyond his current contract.

    The Red Devils boss has brought in young players, lowering the squad's average age, and is now primed to stay on and mould them into the next generation of United winners.


    Good news, more years of chewing gum, stop watches and mind games

    He's mellowed a bit lately, I'd rather see someone like Gordon Strachan in there carrying on the hair dryer tradition. Still it should be interesting to see AFs reaction when Ronaldo starts to get a media career ala Beckham...
