Fergie is a team builder, and in both aberdeen and man utd he took time to turn fortunes around. so the question is, will be manage to build a successful GB team with so little time?? Will be bring together players separatee by decades of rivalry? The issue won't be to find good under-23 players...there is a lot of those hanging around major clubs both north anbd south of the border...the issue is to mould them into a team capable of playing together and with a strong sense of belonging to the team. A glaswegian player won't give a damn about olympics being organised in London. Well i’d be curious to see Fergie manage that GB team.

This is England however and the press will find a way to put tons of pressure on the GB team. While I think Fergie is an obvious choice as he is the most successful British manager of all time, I have to agree that it worries me that his career might have this small blemish if things don't go well. With that said, nothing he does after his retirement from United will matter to me, he will still be the best United manager of all time. Even if the GB team is beaten 4-0 in each and every game, he will still be the best and most important United manager of all time and if he can win some glory for GB in the Olympics all the better for Fergie. We are all lucky Fergie joined us from Aberdeen and that he found a way to turn our club around and help make United the best club in the world.

I don’t need any commitment to anything like that.” In late July, it seems that Fergie has his priorities elsewhere. I can never see him wanting to walk away from football for good, it would be enough to kill a man who has dedicated his whole life and every drip of determination in to the game. He has set a time of around 2 or 3 years as to when he'll leave United and wants to give the time left to his "long, suffering" wife. I don't think he'd ever do it because he's bigger and better than that and will know that after all he has achieved at Old Trafford and in Aberdeen before, coaching a team in a Cup competition as a one off would be mediocre in comparison to everything the man has done for himself, the Club, countless players and most of all us fans.

Hopefully, they get a coach sooner rather than later and have enough time to prepare properly and let the team establish chemistry.
