Do you think he will be still there if he wins nothing GBB?

I have a sizeable bet with a Manyoo supporting friend that Slur Alex won't win a CL title with United again. I also offered him a bet that Rafa would a PL title, which he declined.

I remain confident in the first bet and happy enough that he didn't take the second one purely because he may not be allowed to stay the term to win a PL.

This bet was made at Christmas.

I think he most likely will be there next season yes unless Tom Hicks and himself have another run in. Which is always possible but Hicks seems more concerned with DIC's takeover attempts at the moment.

There is no great demand amongst the supporters for him to be sacked.

Back in 1990, when Mark Robbins saved Alex Ferguson's job by getting an equaliser against Nottingham Forest in a cup game, did you see Alex leading United to dominating English Football for 20 years?

I doubt it.

Half of them are asking Mark who?

I remember seeing something recently that he's went into management.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Mark Robins is in charge of Rotherham. Roddy Collins is looking to boot him out and take over as manager as a mate of his is buying the club.

Yes, he is Assistant Cereal Manager in the new Asda store in Maccelsfield  

I remember another young United player at the time, Simon Davies??? Never looked a player but he made a few appearances at the time. Did he ever do anything in the game i.e make a living from it. Always remember the bloke cause he had nothing, pace, skill, guille, reckless tackles, workrate. He was a Nunez.

[nrico2006]

Aye, I remember him - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Davies_%28footballer_born_1974%29

What about Ben Thornley aswell, was hyped up but unlucky with injuries. I remember Erik Nevland, now at Fulham, being proclaimed as the next big thing after he scored 3 hat-tricks in succession for United while on trial.

Ferguson took over a near bottom of the table United side and transformed them.  Benitez took over a top 4 side and at present they are struglling to maintain that position - great progress.

[Billys Boots]

It did take him six years to win anything - and that might not have happened if not for Eric Cantona's misdemeanour at Leeds and subsequent move to Old Trafford.
