Alex Ferguson considering Old Trafford exit - reports

David Moyes is tipped to take over if the Manchester United boss steps down.

SPECULATION IS RIFE tonight that Alex Ferguson is on the verge of an exit from Manchester United.

The iconic manager has been in charge at the Premier League giants since 1986 but the football world is this evening considering a world without the 71-year-old in charge of the Red Devils.

Yesterday, bookmakers slashed odds on Everton boss David Moyes taking over from his compatriot at Old Trafford.

The Telegraph reports tonight that the league winners’ golf outing was ‘overshadowed’ by talk of Fergie’s rumoured departure and an announcement could be made before the weekend.

What do you think?

    Neil you don’t know what your talking about man. Munster has had a famously huge following long before they became one of the biggest clubs in the northern hemisphere, probably started way back when we beat the all blacks. The score line must be making you bitter. Scottish rugby is nothing to brag about you absolute langer.

    Crudge – I know what level of support Munster had before, so don’t start telling porkies. My earlier posts were long before Half time, so u saying I’m bitter is ludicrous – especially as I don’t support Leinster or any other province/team. Finally,cheers for ur parting compliment and go fu** urself.

    Jimmy – I’m not usually in favor of personal attacks, but seeing that none of ye were able to articulate a response and instead decided to use base, vile language I decided to reply in kind. U got a problem with that ?

    We got the win and bonus point but the first 60 minutes were far from impressive. Edinburgh were cat, a serious improvement required for Sars!

    No doubt Munster fans singing that song about a town in Connacht. Truly awful. Like Cameron in UK who says ‘we’re all in together’ – it just rings hollow. Community my ars*. Up Edinburgh.

    That’s it Elrat & Jimmy Finn. Ye disagree strongly with my post so resort to abuse. Class ! How many of the so called ‘fans’ supported Munster before the professional era??? Mmm I wonder.

    Sarries won’t be cacking themselves looking at that, Munster will need at least 9 points from the back to back matches to have any hope of making the Q-final which I honestly can’t see them getting. Go take out a mortgage and stick it on Clermont to win it…..

    Its hard to see past Clermont given yesterdays performance. It is finally their year I think too looking at Leinster as well.
