‘Big Bag of Sh*t!’: Manchester United Legend lambaste the club for Insulting BOSS Sir Alex Ferguson

As pointed out by Fabrizio Romano, reports circulated on Tuesday that INEOS had chosen to terminate Sir Alex Ferguson's lucrative ambassadorial position with Manchester United. The most successful manager in the club's history, Sir Alex Ferguson, retains his non-executive director position. Many fans took it positively but many refuted the decision given the contribution of Sir Alex Ferguson to the club.

Eric Cantona makes a huge statement on Manchester United terminating Sir Alex Ferguson’s valuable contract 

Manchester United's legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is set to leave his post as the club's global ambassador. Former Ferguson player Eric Cantona has criticised this action, saying the new owners show a "lack of respect" for the illustrious Scotsman.

Having guided Manchester United for 26 years and accumulated an outstanding 38 trophies, including two Champions League crowns and a record 13 Premier League titles, Ferguson is generally agreed as the most successful manager of the team. He has been worldwide ambassador and club director since 2013, retiring.

Ferguson, 82, apparently makes £2.16 million a year in his ambassadorial capacity. But in line with a cost-cutting effort meant to reallocate funds for team development, the new ownership headed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos Group has decided to terminate this role.

Having a great five-year career under Ferguson, Cantona, who four times won the Premier League, voiced his dismay at the choice. Given the great legacy Ferguson has left at Manchester United, he thinks he should be free to select any post inside the team. Eric Cantona wrote on Instagram: 

“Sir Alex Ferguson should be able to do anything he wants at the club until the day he dies. Such a lack of respect. It’s totally scandalous. Sir Alex Ferguson will be my boss forever. And I throw them all in a big bag of sh*t!,” 

According to reports, last week's conversations between Ferguson and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe led to his decision to remove his ambassador post. The renowned manager is expected to retain his role as "non-executive director" even if his membership in the club has been revoked; he will still be welcomed at the club.
