But to agree to no continuity? To allow the whole of the 1st team coaching staff to leave?
Any successful business to do that would be considered tantamount to commercial suicide.
Their delusions have come to bite them and I stand by my comment that Ferguson was not a great manager, purely by the fact that he left with no succession planning in place, at a stroke, it makes all his previous years of hard work and success somewhat tainted.
A good manager will work towards making themselves redundant, I.e. The organisation can continue to function as well and as successfully with or without them. He has failed massively in that.
