Sir Alex Ferguson retires
After a 27-year-reign as manager of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to retire, at the age of 71.
In his illustrious career, he has led Manchester United to 13 league titles, 2 Champions League titles, 5 FA Cups and 4 League Cups.
Speculation has already began as to who may replace Sir Alex as manager, with Michael Laudrup, Larent Blanc and Nathan Staples the early front-runners.

“Huge news. The man who inspired me to be a football manager has retired, and I am supposedly in the frame for the biggest job in the world. At my boyhood club.
I, don’t know what to say.”

Shaktar Donetsk have made an initial offer for Nathan Staples to become their next manager.
The Ukranian club have won the title for the past 4 years running, and are looking to head to higher places in the Champions League with a new man at the helm.
Reports are saying that Mr Staples would have a massive 66 million euros to spend on new talent, if he accepts.

“That’s a huge offer. The money is insane, it would more than quadrouple my wages, and I would have an incredible wealth to go out and buy new players.
I have to consider this, so I have asked them to delay for a week.”

Nathan Staples is one sought-after manager, as Lyon have made their intentions clear that they also want him as their new manager.
Since Remi Garde left to become the new French international manager, Lyon have been looking for a suitable replacement, and feel that Mr Staples can take them to the next level.
Mr Staples won both the Ligue 1 title and the Europa League with FC Sochaux-Montbe last season.
----------
“A big shock here, could I really betray Sochaux like this?
Again, I’ll have to take it into account, it would be rude not to.”

Nathan Staples has been offered the Manchester United managerial vacancy.
After leading Sochaux to two Europa League titles and the Ligue 1 title in his first two seasons, Manchester United have deemed the young manager worthy enough to take the mantle from the recently retired Sir Alex Ferguson.
----------
“I’m in shock. I mean, it’s Manchester United, the club I supported as a boy, requesting my services as manager.
I don’t know what to do, I thought that I’d have more time here before being given so many opportunities, but should I leave?”
----------
Help decide Nathan Staples’ fate! Shall he go join the riches of Ukraine with Shaktar Donetsk? Should he betray Sochaux and join French rivals Lyon? Should he succeed Sir Alex and join his boyhood club Manchester United? Or should he stay and attempt to create a dynasty at FC Sochaux-Montbe?
HELP!
