I agree, it's a bit like what Pat said, he's not dead.
Fergie!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Yes, I started to watch some lovely tribute posted here, but couldn't finish it. Not time for that yet...

That great man doesn't even know I exist yet he's family to me. I hadn't fully realised this until I saw the news. Devastating. I fecking love him. His mentality, ambition, compassion, dedication and achievements transcend sport beyond comprehension.
Fergie is the most inspirational figure I have ever witnessed and I'm so grateful to him for how he touched my life. I cannot imagine United without his presence. It's time for another glorious comeback, Boss! If there is somebody who can do it, that's you!

Assumed it would already be posted here but a key bit from Giggs ...
"I know the operation has been a success - but he is a fighter and that is what makes me think that he will be able to make a recovery."
I've not seen anything to suggest it's been a success up til now.

Other than the statement from the club saying the procedure went very well? Thanks for posting that though.
Bryan Robson said on Sky News he had received a call from Jason Ferguson and had said the operation had gone well.
I've been a bit more relaxed after the Evra tweet. It suggested to me that Fergie was on the mend.
Wishing the great man a speedy recovery!
Support is everything. No one should say the worse.
Come on Sir Alex. We love and support you.
Added. Believe he will be fine. Sir Alex Has got this.
Hoping the great man makes a quick recovery.
Think I was reading more into 'success' than 'very well'.
They mean the same thing in my opinion.
How would it not be a success if it went very well?
It's a success in the fact they've done what they set out to do when he went under. So it was a "success" on Saturday night. So there's no new news. But his in the right hands. They got him there did the surgery and now we wait. This is Alex Ferguson of course. Stubborn as hell. If anyone is going to come through this it's him.
My local newspaper in India, in Malayalam language posted an article citing a doctor from Salford Hospital.. His name is Joshy George. He told that the Surgery was a success, they removed the entire blood clot and that SAF is recovering well...
The doctors name sounds like a typical name from my state , so this might be true..

Sounds legit - http://joshigeorge.org/
Hope it's true.
Best wishes to SAF and the family, hope we all see him soon back. It's a waiting game now. Been through this with my family..
Depends what you mean by success. A successful operation means the surgeon accomplished what they set out to do. Doesn't necessarily mean he will be fully functional again, too early to say anything about that.
Wouldn’t that be breaking patient confidentiality? I’d assume that the familly would want no communication before there is another official statement.
Operation was obviously a success in the sense that clot was removed. No point in over analysis over that. How will he recover is completely another story.
I feel really sorry for his wife in all of this. She has stood by him through his whole career, when she probably saw very very little of him. Now they should be spending their twilight years together enjoying life but instead she has to deal with this.
I only hope that the gaffer is not severely disabled from this because I have seen how badly it can also effect the carer if that is the case. My father in law suffered a second stroke recently, he is unable to walk or speak and it pretty much ruined his wife’s life.

Ideally, yes.
I don't think Malayalam newspapers have any reach, beyond the state of Kerala (only 1% of India's size) or the minor number of expats from the state who would read it. And some of the newspapers don't really think beyond getting the news out first.
Solskjær quoted in norwegian media today saying he sent his well wishes to SAF's personal number then rather through social media.

Every hour I open google to see if there is any positive news on him. All I want is to see him in our last home game smiling and cheering for the team, then only I will able to relax.
It would just be incredibly sad if he can't regularly watch United.Dont even want to contemplate that right now,hopefully he"ll just make a full and speedy recovery...I hope you're right but problem is his age. I was always surprised how active he remained post his 70 attending and travelling to every important match and location. I feel someone like him can never stay away from football pitch even post retirement so I hope these issues don't force him to do so, even though it looks likely due to his age.
Watching a Fergie documentary from 1995 about his live. Got choked up around 8:45 talking about his mother and his own mortality.
Wish the man the best, we probably won't hear a lot as he would be in an induced coma to allow the brain to recover to the best possible. We will have no idea how much damage has been done till he wakes up.
Don't know if it's been posted but this is just really really sweet.

Word going round on twitter is that Ronaldo said something like "how can I celebrated when the person who taught me football is in hospital" after they questioned why he didnt celebrate yesterday.
would be nice if true. May be to do with his injury though
Hey Pat, can you please sent him a message from all of us then ? Tell that old bugger he got us all scared, but it's enough now I want him at Old Trafford on the last day of the season.
Such a giant of a man. If only I had half of his personality and aura.
1% would do me. He's one of life's true one offs.
He does look proud.
Yeah agreed. Daniel Taylor began his piece in the Guardian by promising not to write an obituary. Then wrote an obituary.
