I remember the club published it so I guess they had it on file anyway and probably ran it past Sir Alex.Does anyone know how it was released? Did SAF provide it to the club to make public?
It’s strange because what struck me initially was that it read like an open letter which was always intended or at least expected to be shared at some point. But then there’s the bit about Sheringham and the lack of funds allocated by the club which I just can’t imagine Ferguson ever discussing so candidly in public.Does anyone know how it was released?

Shear class from two of the most influential people in modern football and of course two of the absolute best people who have been associated with Manchester United.Lovely letter and very warm hearted.
Always impressed with the way SAF handled ex players, giving them new roles and keeping them involved in some capacity
BIG middle finger to them both ..I am just so grateful I lived my young adult life through them years. When all that mattered was football and we were the KINGS! feck you Klopp and Pep. We dominated for 25 years!
Definitely it really highlights the financial restrictions Ferguson operated under for the first 15 years of his reign.It’s strange because what struck me initially was that it read like an open letter which was always intended or at least expected to be shared at some point.

The bit about the lack of funds is a timely reminder of life as a PLC and the struggle Ferguson used to have going to the shareholders and justifying a high transfer fee which would directly impact their dividends. Easy to forget that when moaning about the Glazers.
Couldn’t agree more I think Fergie took what Cantona had and applied it to the development of Ronaldo."I hope to find a young Cantona"
He did that in Ronaldo. I think he saw a lot of Cantona in Ronaldo, which is why he loved him so much.
Fergie just had the right mixture of love and discipline. Best man manager ever.
