Has McLeish released a statement?
I think he's having it drawn up.

Would they not have got a vow of silence agreement out of him the way they did with MON?

What a shock, first caller is a cockney Manure fan.

"Alex Ferguson is the best manager is history"

Oh rly?

Is he? Clough. Shankley. Paisley. Saunders. Barton. Ramsey.

How about adding Shankly and Ramsay as well?  ;)

That's what the cockney red said on squawksport.

I'd say he was amongst the best ever, but not the best. For me, Wenger changing the entire philosophy of Arsenal and how they are perceived has been as much of an achievement.

Yes, he's a great manager. Just not the best.

Just had a thought - can we send the bill for AM's contract settlement to Fergie?

If you could be arsed I'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to make a case for Fergie as best manager ever, in time it will be more widely accepted.

It's a tough one when you look at the trophies and how he changed manu from the nearly team to dominating English football. Good debate to have, but maybe not here and now!

talksport are about to spend some time talking about Villa now.

Collymore talking sense on Gary Neville, no Villa stuff yet!

Is it just me, or did this 'villa chat' not happen at all?!
