Ok, real talk time, all the stuff about United's players getting into
got me thinking about United after Fergie. Right now the squad isn't that special and yet they are on course to comfortably take they're 20th title. There is a fair amount of youth in the squad that in my opinion, don't have the individual quality that I'd expect in a team that is running away with the title. Man U don't have the best squad but they are the best team, and I think you have to attribute that to Fergie.
Now, when he goes where how will that team preform? If Fergie had retired at the end of last season would United be 12 points clear right now? I don't think so. Will a lesser manager (and no matter who it is they will be a lesser manager) be able to compete with the spending power of City and Chelsea. At the very least I expect the title race to be much closer.
