David Davutovic: Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was a law unto himself in many ways I HAD the privilege of interviewing Sir Alex Ferguson while working for Fox Sports after the Red Devils claimed their 2010-11 Premier League title. Waiting in the Old Trafford tunnel the club's press officer said two questions only and the TV producer chimed in: "And if he doesn't like the question he'll walk." I slipped in a few extra questions and Ferguson not only answered them, but was engaging. The intrigue surrounding Ferguson not only related to his extraordinary success and longevity (38 trophies in 27 years at Manchester United), but the fact he was the only EPL manager who refused to front post-game press conferences. He was a law unto himself in many ways. Mark Bosnich is the only player Ferguson signed twice. Everton's loss: Moyes free to join Man U Bosnich originally trialled for Liverpool but former Socceroos boss Eddie Thomson opened the door at United and Ferguson liked what he saw. In March 1988 I went for a two-week trial and he said 'you're staying here' and offered me a pound stg. 2000 sign-on fee and said 'give it to your mum'," Bosnich said. He very good to me because I was away from home and supported me while I had trouble with my work permit. When I was 16 most of his dealings were with my dad but when I came back in 1998 he asked me not to have agents around when we did the contract. We've had our ups and downs and in the end we had a fallout and that was it, it wasn't a cold war of silence. It was very professional and these things happen. Chelsea came in and I secured my release. Bosnich: I loved playing under Sir Alex Ferguson wasn't scared to show big names the door and Bosnich's swift exit from Old Trafford mirrored that of David Beckham's in 2003. His man-management was first-class and he had a knack of selling players at the right time. Operating on 3-4 hours' sleep a night Ferguson's work ethic is legendary and he was always on the training track, often just observing. And at a time when British and Scottish managers failed to move with the game's evolution, his ability to develop and embrace ideas brought him success for almost four decades, if one includes his stint at Aberdeen. "He wasn't stuck, he's evolved and wants to learn all the time," former United defender Gary Pallister told the Herald Sun. He's got old-style values but marries them with new ideas -- new tactics, different training techniques, diets, peripheral vision. A keen student of the game, David Moyes shares similar traits and it's no surprise he's been anointed by Fergie, who has a soft spot for fellow Scottish managers and is always willing to lend advice.
