So we are not expecting to hear anything until the NYSE opens at around 2:30 UK time?
Sir Alex Ferguson has retired

It could be an announcement of a interim manager, while he's away having the hip operation.
Anyone know why he isn't having his hip operation in 2 weeks when the season ends?
I'm pretty sure we're going to be getting a big announcement regarding his future soon. When you have a story unanimously being reported by everyone (not just shit tabloids), there's almost always an element of truth to it. BBC don't have a ticker for silly transfer rumours!
He might not be retiring, but something's definitely up. If it was "sensationalist crap", the club/sources in the club would have commented on it by now.
We could hear anything any time before 2:30 UK time. We wont have any announcement after that time as the NYSE and its rules require a company to release statements about significant information that relates to how it is run before the NYSE opens.
Oh yes we will hear something in the future soon, of course. Look nobody is in denial here that the day of his retirement is closer than ever. Well some may be in denial but most of us are not however like I said before, until the club schedules an announcement or says something all we have is unfounded tripe.
He wouldn't just come out and say he was leaving and spoil everyone's party for the weekend, lifting the trophy and the parade would be a bit of a downer. Can't see it myself, maybe it's an announcement to do with how long he has left and who the next manager is.
On the other hand it could be the chance for fans to give him the perfect farewell if something was said before the weekend. Who knows? Something may be up but we will just keep guessing for now.
I personally think it will be, SAF retires, Moyes signs up, Ronaldo and Bale join, Rooney is sold...all rolled into one epic head feck of an announcement.
What is the Ronaldo tweet about ? Is he just being a troll ? 
Point I'm making is it's not unfounded tripe. There's obviously a reason every single media outlet is reporting the story and we're refusing to say anything. The club doesn't have to say anything for us to read between lines.
See my epic head feck announcement in above post I made. It could happen...
In which case we genuinely should get Benitez in. It would be so much fun!
New assistant manager, reckon he wants someone who can take over for a few games in case there are problems with his surgery I.E recovery period is longer than predicted. Phelan will probably move back to the coaching staff.
My uninformed guess will be a significant announcement on an assistant. If that man is Moyes, then bets are probably off as to who will also eventually succeed Fergie, whenever that happens.
Actually I bet we come out and announce a new teapot sponsorship deal.
Maybe he's signing a new 5 year contract.
Hold me Popper!
Surely assistant is not a significant announcement,
Lets all wait patiently. No point in following every rumour. We will know soon enough,
If a new assistant manager is announced Giggs would be a good choice as an apprentice.
Bale and Ronnie please, but please god not Moyes. Only way I'd even entertain Moyes is if he goes as his understudy for a few seasons.
Good point on the final farewell, didn't think of it like that.
We can't have Kid Cunto be the thread starter for the Fergie retiring thread. This isn't right.
If you take Twitter away from the original rumour then all you have is paper speculation, which we have had for years. I am worried though...
the special one as new assistant for fergies last year as manager ,taking position on the board after .special one brings ronaldo as humble offering to the red gods
Add to that SAF was talking about signings for next season just last week. Until it is confirmed on the official united page, I'm going to ignore the whole rumour
Jesus Christ roll on the Friday press conference. The next couple of days are going to be hell.
Well the club haven't actually confirmed an announcement have they? Everything is speculative atm.
How do we know there's a press conference at 10am anyway?
We dont.
fecking hell, I hadn't heard a thing about this until I walked into work and opened this mammoth thread.
Is it actually possible that this will happen?
Is it actually possible that this will happen?
I've just put €50 on Fergie as Chelsea's next manager.
Paddy Crerand denies Alex Ferguson to retire rumours on newstalk radio.
Yes, thank you Paddy.
If this means Phelan is leaving I don't care about the other details
Not this summer.
So Many Journos gonna get banned from OT.
People seem to be forgetting we support the club.
Players, managers and owners all move on at some point.

I can't decide if the news on the golf course devastated or delighted Vidic.
I'm confused, why does everyone think something is happening at ten?

The club needs journalists. It's a marketing tool. Free advertising.
