Fergie makes me right
Sir Alex Ferguson was talking last night about his retirement, "the thing is I have not made my mind up when I'm retiring," but he was also asked about who would replace him or managers in the game that impress him.
"Pardew at Charlton has got something about him, he is a good young manager," he said, agreeing with my comments I made about Pards yesterday.
Not surprisingly Roy Keane came in for praise as did Newcastle's Sam Allardyce. (more)
Sir Ferg also made thought provoking observations about his old prodigy David Beckham raising the profile of 'soccer' in the USA.
"Supporters don't travel so you are missing that rivalry between fans, so you have a problem." (more)
Also this good deed by the club will probably go unheralded but once again shows that the board may not always get it right but they have a Charlton heart. It follows the unprovoked attack on Charlton families sat on a train at Sydenham on Saturday. The British Transport Police are looking for witnesses. ¶ 11:18
