Good old Sky sources.
Christ, I wonder if my heart will beat again...
We're all doomed!!!
Because there's nothing out of character or unlikely at all for Fergie to announce his retirement via the medium of a vague rumour on twitter.
Maybe SAF is thinking of retiring from golf.
Some people need to chill the feck out SAF isnt going anywhere.
Tears. Genuine tears.
I blame Randall, SAF must have read his thread in the General the shitc**t.
You can't say that, it's likely this day will come in the next year or so. We don't know when exactly, but it'll be sooner rather than later.
To be fair, one of the story tags seems to be 'players told to expect an announcement' yet Hernandez and De Gea were happily tweeting not long back.
I smell bullshit.

This is bullshit. When the dreaded day comes , it won't be like this.
Err, yeah, it actually will. Out of the blue, rumours and then...
Well, only rumours and reports so far.
Some people are in denial, yes they're only rumours but the day Ferguson retires is looming. Whether this year or the next. It's highly likely he'll be gone.
Also, people saying it wouldn't end like this, Ferguson said he's not going to go through the whole 'retiring at the end of the season' thing again.

I cant imagine United without SAF.
Oh, and shouldnt the thread title be changed slightly, its a rumour atm.

I keep refreshing the main page to check if the thread title has changed from 'considering' to 'announces'. 
Wait didn't SAF say he wanted Scholes to play on Sunday? Maybe another send off for Scholesy?
I would say that's a "significant announcement"

Do you honestly think he'd get out of bed? Mentalists.

I just refreshed and got the "cannae take the strain Captain" thingy. Briefly shit myself.
This is clearly all related to the sudden availability of Dean Saunders
Likewise, I blame AC for his constant refreshing.
Same.
I hope his health is fine - if there is anything in this then it will be down to his health.
Sorry we're not all as cool headed as you.
Erm .... I do know that, it wont be this year though. You stay up all night if you want
At the end of the day, the man is 71 and if he's having hip surgery and thinking about his health, perhaps there's some truth to his. We'll wait and see.
I'd love nothing more than for him to have one more season with us, win the Treble and go out on a real high Whether we like it or not, the day will come where he will retire and we have to prepare for that. I don't want him to remain here for another season or two, and possibly not win the title or failing to win the CL again.
With City in the mix these days, and Jose possibly back at Chelsea, we aren't certs for anything. It would be fitting for Sir Alex to end on a high after all he's done for us.

I blame Phelan for all this. Not sure why but it's clearly his fault somewhere.
I'm going to go to bed and sleep easy, to wake up tomorrow morning to see the muppets still going mad over this and no response from SAF or MUFC.
Sweet dreams.
Think I'd better head off to. Wake me up if anything happens.
Cheers. There will be no response from SAF or MUFC because there's nothing to respond to and it certainly wouldn't come in reaction to this. If it is true, they will announce it when they are good and ready as opposed to reacting to media speculation.
Hear hear!
The end of SAF as manager will come quicker that most on here will admit too, but it wont come like this.
I am in work all night so will keep refreshing to see if anything happens, but I don't think it will.

It's okay guys I know it's not going to happen.
11 pages in less that 2 hours, is this a record?
Graham Hunter off Sky seems to think it's true.
