Sky and others reporting it. Rumors of a bleed on the brain, a cardiac arrest and a possible coma

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 05-05-2018 7:59pm

Talk about coming out of no where. Hopefully it’s not as bad as they are saying but with Darren not in the dug out for their match with Wigan today it can’t be good.

Jaysus, that's grim

Hopefully he recovers, looked in good health.

lawred2 · 05-05-2018 8:08pm

Sad to hear that - hope he recovers

martyos121 · 05-05-2018 8:08pm

It doesn’t matter who I support, the man is a legend and for the sake of himself and his family, I wish him the best and hope he pulls through this. Very serious situation by the sound of it, if he can fight as hard as his United teams did, he has a very good chance.

adox · 05-05-2018 8:09pm

Just read it a few minutes ago and was shocked.

Hopefully he can make a full recovery.

MD1990 · 05-05-2018 8:10pm

Very sad news.

Always liked Sir Alex. Probably the greatest manager of all time and a man of class.

Hopefully he pulls through.

I know its a very serious situation (sadly have personal experience of it) and I wish him a full and speedy recovery, but the first comment on the link really made me laugh. I'd imagine even Fergie would get a smile out of it.

Harmless dark sense of humour like myself etc etc.

All the same hope to see him in the stands at Old Trafford again soon someday!!

Tom Mann Centuria · 05-05-2018 8:20pm

Didn't suffer fools gladly as a manager, the best of premier league "old-school" by a distance. Hopefully he will make a good recovery, massive spectrum of how bad a brain haemorrhage can be, fingers crossed his was a small bleed.

I read Fergies Autobiography and he seemed to have a dark sense of humour, I'd say he would appreciate that joke :pac:

The man is a true legend, he was my hero growing up as a United supporter and as someone who was born in 1990...... MUFC is Sir Alex Ferguson. I hope he gets back to full health and is watching us from the stands as we win the treble next year

DeanAustin · 05-05-2018 8:26pm

Greatest of all time in my book amongst old school or anyone else. A phenomenal manager and I’ve said that for years. And I’m not a United fan.

Hope he pulls through but doesn’t sound good.

GavRedKing · 05-05-2018 8:28pm

Hopefully he makes a full and quick recovery.

Greatest manager of all time IMO.

I appreciate your sentiment but that sounds a bit like an obituary. Hold off a little bit - this guy's a rough and tough fighter.

Super-Rush · 05-05-2018 8:31pm

The man ruined my childhood and that's the biggest compliment I can pay him.

A genuine legend of the game and its extremely sad to hear this tonight. I hope he pulls through.

Emotional and out of order, apologizes.

Awful news. I wish him a speedy recovery.

It was a reply to a comment above that said he was the best old school manager which I thought read that “he was the best in his time”. He’s the best manager of all time end of story was all that I meant. The man is obviously tough.

niallo27 · 05-05-2018 8:43pm

How bad is he actually though. I've seen reports from no way back to he is recovering.

Had a procedure undertaken for a brain haemorrhage which went very well. Period in intensive care now.

Sounds like he had a lucky escape.

MD1990 · 05-05-2018 8:47pm

nice quote showing what a great man Sir Alex is

Kenny Dalglish has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson was one of the first people to offer his help to Liverpool after the Hillsborough disaster.

“When the Hillsborough disaster happened back in 1989, Sir Alex Ferguson was straight on the phone to offer his help in any way he could,” Dalglish said. “People out there have different opinions about him. Some love him, some hate him, but when something terrible happens, like Hillsborough, Alex is one of the first asking what he can do. So although there is an intense rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool, it would never prevent Alex from offering his assistance, which is exactly what he did back then.”

There is no way a credible source would report that given the information that the media are privy to..Never mind the lack of respect to his family. I would be interested in seeing where you came across such a report.

Harry Palmr · 05-05-2018 8:49pm

A complete bastard of the game, I can only hope his post op recovery is a 100% success. he's earned a long healthy retirement.

JP Liz V1 · 05-05-2018 8:49pm

Wish him a full speedy recovery, legendary manager

Official Utd statement

STATEMENT REGARDING SIR ALEX FERGUSON
Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone emergency surgery today for a brain haemorrhage.

The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery.

His family request privacy in this matter.

Twitter. Should know to ignore most **** on there to be fair.

I will show him the same respect as he showed for my club

But for his family I hope he pulls through

Anyway, AF is one of, if not the, greatest managers football has ever seen. Seemed a decent man too. Hope he pulls through

Not necessary at all. Better off just saying nothing. Just looking for a reaction.

Always one grown adult cnut trying to derail the thread with an impish troll remark

FWIW Ferguson ALWAYS congratulated City when they prevailed, he even took Pep out to dinner last month to congratulate him.

Mr.Nice Guy · 05-05-2018 9:11pm

Worrying news. Surgeons seem to be encouraged so hopefully he will be on the mend soon.

RobertKK · 05-05-2018 9:13pm

Hopefully the recovery will be a complete success and there will be excessive Fergie time.

Some people are just toxic. Nothing to do with the club they support or anything else like that, it is who they are.

Mod: Alright, moving on from that.

GT_TDI_150 · 05-05-2018 9:37pm

As a Newcastle fan, he probably is one of the big reasons we didnt win two league titles in a row (and God knows how many more after those 2) in the Mid 90s. Wudnt wish this on anyone tho. Hope he pulls through ... even if it's just to watch Jose's anti football

murpho999 · 05-05-2018 9:42pm

Shocking news.
Legendary manager.

His success at Utd was hard for rival fans but he just had to be respected but I always liked him and enjoyed his style of football, interviews and insights.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

LiamoSail · 05-05-2018 9:49pm

Ferguson is never a man to give up. If anyone has the fight in them to get through something like this, it's him.

Horrible time for his family. Wish both him and them all the best.

Francie Barrett · 05-05-2018 9:53pm

Don't like the man, hope he pulls through though.

AidoEirE · 05-05-2018 10:02pm

Ah lads if fergie goes, thats my whole childhood in tatters. Big man better pull through. The man has a big heart with passion for whatever he doing so hopefully the heart and brain pulls through and he beats this ****
