DISASTER!!!!!

View attachment 45888

No! It can't end like this!

Even before the injury Sam's physical stats were on a hasty downward spiral. I gave him a new contract in December but he will struggle to come back from this. He may even retire as a result. We will see..

He was on course for another 38 game league season. That is over now. Will he ever add to his 549 league appearances??

The FM gods strike again! How dare they bring down your son as he enters the twilight of his career!

UCL

An all-English (Manchester) final in Wembley!

View attachment 45721

Manchester is red!!

Extra time was needed but for some dodgy finishing we should have wrapped up our 24th Champions League title long before the final whistle.

That was the 100th meeting between ourselves and City. It is fair to say we have slightly edged it...

Unbeaten seasons were regular enough at the beginning of my Man Utd career but this is our first in 7 seasons. The record unbeaten run is 112 games set in 2038-40.

Sam was flying before his career-threatening injury. He is still months away from recovery but the damage is already done.

7 months and 10 days out have taken their toll as Sam is a shadow of his former self (and he wasn't even that good to begin with!)

GUESS WHO'S BACK!

It looked like his career was over but Sam returns with a brace on his 550th league appearance, one I honestly never thought he would make.

Back to back all-Manchester UCL Finals!

Last year was a 4-2 AET thriller. This year there was no such drama as we put City to the sword to claim our 25th Champions League title.

Back to back unbeaten seasons! What an achievement. Perhaps the British and Irish model we are implementing is the way forward.. further evidenced by another clean sweep of trophies.

In fact we won every game we played last season except for a two 0-0 draws against West Ham in the league.

Sam returned from his almost career ending injury to make 30 league appearances, scoring 17 goals. All in he missed 18 league games with his knee injury, so it could have been worse without the summer break.

Got to be the worst case of father / son bias in football ever haha.

Great story mate, pretty ridiculous save!
 
Such was my excitement at getting Sam back fit for one last dig at beating Ryan Giggs' appearance record I completely missed two important milestones for myself.

I surpassed the real SAF's tenure at Utd.

He was in charge for just under 9700 days. I broke that during the season just past and in the current season I have also realised that I have now been in charge of Utd for over 10,000 days!!

I think my place at the top of the Hall of Fame is fairly safe too..

__________________________

As you can see I have yet to win an International trophy. As I have achieved everything I can at Utd and will continue until my son Sam retires I looked at an international job to keep things interesting.

I'm in December and just around the corner is the African Cup of Nations and Ghana have no manager so I may as well give it a go and resign immediately after the tournament..

Another injury for Sam, not as bad as his cruciate one but time is running out for him to better Giggs' record

African Cup of Nations

Such was my lack of knowledge of the ACN I didn't even know that you could only select domestic based players for the tournament. Had I knew that I never would have took the job and the majority of Ghana players play outside their own country.

As a result I only could select 14 players for the tournament and only ONE centre back!

Consequently I had low expectations going into the tournament and I was right!

Champions League

View attachment 45447

For a third straight final it is an all-Manchester affair!

We won the previous two 4-2 (aet) and 4-1.


View attachment 45446


It's a carbon copy of last years 4-1 triumph as we complete a hat trick of UCL final wins over the noisy neighbours

____________________

Our proud unbeaten Premier League record sequence ended at 106 games with an opening day 3-2 defeat away to Liverpool. We were also just one game away from equalling our own unbeaten run in all competitions of 112 games. **** you Liverpool!

Nonetheless, that was our only defeat in the league. We drew two games and won the lot after that to start up another unbeaten sequence.

View attachment 45444

Another clean sweep of trophies. All this without signing a non-British or Irish player for a few seasons. We still have some foreign players among the squad signed before I imposed the transfer restrictions. Again, any worthwhile bids for them will be accepted and they'll be replace by a homegrown player for the remainder of my time at United.

SAM FERGUSON

A slight injury means he missed 6 league games this season as he closes in on Ryan Giggs' record.

View attachment 45443


He is on 611, 61 games short of Giggs' 672. He needs another season and a half injury free. C'MON!!
