The day had been coming for a long time. Sir Alex had been the manager of Manchester United for well over 20 years, and he felt it was right to retire and let somebody younger takeover the club. He sure went out with a bang. Premier League Champions, Champions League Winners and FA Cup Finalists. It was a sad day when Sir Alex left, but the club had to look forward, and I was looking forward to seeing who they appointed. I drove home that night, thinking about who would be my new boss. I woke up the next day and turned on my laptop. I went on the news sites and found nothing. I thought I better just check my emails, and there it was. An email from the boss.
Manchester United said:To: Simon
From: Joel Glazer, Manchester United Board
Dear Simon,
Sir Alex has left us on a real high. We have been scanning the world for managers with talent, experience and the will to keep Manchester United at the top of world football. We did not find the man we are looking for. Then we had a thought. You know the game, you know the club, you know the players and the fans. You have been the assistant now for 3 years, and have a wealth of experience as you have managed Portsmouth, Fulham and also Blackburn during your managerial career. We believe you are the man for the job, and if you would like to take us up on the offer, please get back to me as soon as possible.
Joel Glazer
I couldn't turn it down. It was my big chance. A chance of a lifetime for me. I am the manager of Man United. Oh My God.
