The decision to terminate Ferguson contract as a club ambassador is a very sensitive and controversial move, so I think it is precisely now that they no longer respect him as someone who once led Manchester United to the pinnacle of glory, not only Manchester fans and legends who regret their club treatment of Ferguson at the moment but criticism also arise from many parties, ferguson is not only a legendary manager, but also a symbol of the club glory era, so terminating his contract could be seen as a move that would not appreciate his legacy and outstanding contributions over the years, perhaps INEOS has a business point of view for the sack, however, they should also to see from emotional and historical perspective on how Ferguson gave his entire life during this time to Manchester United.
If this decision was born out of a business point of view then they should have thought about those fans who share the same sentiments as we all do as regards the love and respect that the entire sports world have for sir Alex Ferguson and the the lovely memories and even his legacies which is what has made the club what it is today and probably as investors the club's rich history could have been one of the factors that may have attracted them into investing their money in the club, except they want to say otherwise.
After knowing the reason for the dismissal, of course I began to think realistically in this case even though the fact that the sacking of Ferguson is not something that should be done by the management, in the last few days the sacking of Ferguson has caused a lot of debate, but we also cannot deny that sometimes business decisions can be seen as ignoring the emotional and historical aspects of the club even though it may hurt the feelings of the fans, what surprised me was that it wasn't just Ferguson who was sacked at the moment, but almost 250 employees have been sacked for the club's operational efficiency due to their excessive spending in recent seasons, so I don't think there's anything to argue about the dismissal because the management has to put the club above all else at the moment, moreover, Ferguson, who receives a salary of almost 2.2 million pounds per year, is currently very old and it is clear that his job as a club ambassador will be very draining his stamina and time.
Ferguson is a whole era of football in the English Premier League and a symbol of Manchester United. His dismissal may be rational from a business point of view, but we should not forget about the spiritual (so to speak) component for the team and the fans. It seems to me that the presence of a "living legend of the glory of past achievements" in the club would have a positive effect on the "fighting spirit" of the team. Of course, a lot of money allows you to buy "expensive" football players, but still, it is the cohesion that makes a team a team, and living legends like Ferguson would help strengthen this cohesion. This news made me sad.
It is clear that Ferguson is far from young, but he could have been left as a part-time ambassador of the club or something like that, so that if he had time and health, he could sometimes appear to the delight of the fans and the team.
Also, one more thing. This is still a dismissal, but it could have sounded different (for example, termination of a contract by mutual agreement or an honorable resignation).
But I really hope to see them breaking out of this horrible cycle. As far as I know Mazraoui is back but Mainoo has got injured this time. Technically they still have a stronger squad but let's see...
