    Just saw an article here on teamtalk with Ashley Young saying that he think OGS reminds him of Fergie. He said, and I quote, ‘It’s like the boss walked back in the door.’ How is any manager supposed to come in and take control of a dressing room when players still call Fergie the boss? It’s been six years and still Young and probably and other Fergie signings still consider him ‘the boss.’ Unless that mentality changes then no manager has a hope in properly running a first team squad at this club.

    Because when he’s thought of as ‘the boss’ it undermines whatever manager is in charge.

    I’d imagine this attitude stretches up to the board to a certain extent at every level though. I’m not saying his legacy should be forgotten but he’s gone, retired and keeping referring to him as the boss and so forth only stops the club from moving forward. We can keep his legacy alive by being astute in the market and creating a winning team that challenges for silverware on a regular basis. That’s the only way to honour his memory.

    The problem is not Fergie’s players still calling him Boss, it’s Fergie’s players are still here !!!!!!!!

    I predicted when SAF retired we would not challenge for the title for as long as any of Fergie’s player (bar DDG) remained at the club. Looks like that prediction will come to pass.

    Back to topic, its up to Ole how he chooses to handle it. He could ignore it or could make Young run around the pitch 10 times chanting Ole is the Boss.

    He could do that Mac but it’s a mentality issue, the shadow of Fergie looms large over Old Trafford and Carrington. It’s hard to move forward when we’re so mired in the past.

    im not sure this is as big an issue as you may think now Killy
    plenty of ex pros and pundits still talk of old mangers as the boss or gaffer when talking about them
    its been 6 years, few of his players are left and he isnt so voal in the press and just sits and watches games now…
    from the quote tho its more worrying comparing Ole to SAF, one its clearly rubbish or you would be doing far better even with what you have and also its not goof dor Ole as it stops him being his own man, but he had that from the start…
    i think we have moved on from AW, though like you we are still left with a few to many of his ex players especially ones on silly wages or just plain crap….
    like youour manager is struggling and is not the right man for the job, but for me oits all them all by themselves (and owners of course) rather than the spectre of managers past…neither are good enough is the issue!
