LONDON (Reuters) - When Alex Ferguson finally called time on his career, he stood on the Old Trafford pitch and invited Manchester United fans to support his successor by remembering the dark times as well as the good.
"I'd also like to remind you that when we had bad times here, the club stood by me, all my staff stood by me, the players stood by me," he said in May, urging them to get behind David Moyes, the man he had helped chose to succeed him.
