I hate that he has had to watch the empire he built crumble so humiliatingly. Happy birthday and happy new year Sir Alex, you are the reason I fell in love with football.
Sir Alex Ferguson 83 years young
- Thread starter always_hoping

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
The greatest manager of all time, without a doubt.
The ecstasy and the agony. Sir Alex built an empire, but he now watches it crumble into dust.
He resurrected an empire. He picked up where Sir Matt left off so in a sense, he was standing on the shoulders of a giant. Now he has to watch as all his labours are brought to nothing by lesser men. History is full of stories like this.
Overly dramatic empire analogies literally every other post 
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Every time I think of Sir Alex, I think back to the various teams he put together. Always a strong spine
And teams with leaders on the pitch.
We can all recite the very long list of world class players.
But I always thought that anything and everything was possible.
So thank you Sir Alex for making so many of our dreams come true. And a very happy and healthy 2025.

Happy birthday SAF....GOAT.
The best to ever do it. Happy birthday to the goat
Sincerely hope that when we're at the top again he's there to see it.
Busby got to.

Happy Birthday Sir Alex.
He's in a league of his own, have a good one!
Happy Birthday Greatest Ever!
Happy Birthday Sir Alex!
He and the teams he built weren't just the reason I loved United, but the reason I loved football.
Simply isn't the same since he retired. The greatest ever bar none.

Happiest of birthdays to the club's greatest ever.
Would you happen to know if it is available to watch for those of us not in the UK?
Happy birthday
Sir Alex #1 Manager, first birthday of the year, hand in hand
thanks, lads.
I know it's petty, but I've loved how city's recent demise has helped put this comparison debate to bed.
In that we already knew..but now they all think the same. Damn right!
Happy birthday Sir Alex, we all genuinely love you.

Happy birthday to the greatest manager who ever lived. It’s shame watching these corporate shitbags tear the soul out of our club. For all the fans and there were lots of them praising Ineos for cutting costs, do you feel better that Sir Alex doesn’t go to games anymore since they took his deal away?
He's been at a few games since that happened.
Happy birthday young man!
This.
One of a kind. Nobody has ever come close to matching his achievements. I'm so fecking grateful for all the joy he was responsible for over a quarter of a century.
He was in fact born on the 31st of December. The last day of the year. Saving the best for last.
I say it every year and will keep saying it. The greatest there ever was and its not close.
It adds to his legacy though. Had the next manager come in and picked up where he left off we wouldn't be missing him this much
I don't know, if you can get BBC iplayer it should be on there, its called Sir Alex, 2 parter.
