Man Utd legend slams Sir Jim Ratcliffe over therapy of ‘complete god’ Sir Alex Ferguson

Dwight Yorke has blasted Sir Jim Ratcliffe for sacking Sir Alex Ferguson as a Manchester United ambassador.

Co-owner Ratcliffe took the shock decision to axe club legend Fergie from the role as part of club cost cutting. Fergie, who won a staggering 38 trophies in a glittering 26 year period as boss, will stand down from being an ambassador at the end of this season.

And former United favourite Yorke believes Ratcliffe and his fellow bosses could have handled the situation much better. Yorke hailed Fergie a ‘god’ – and believes he deserved much more respect.

Yorke told SafestCasinoSites.co.uk : “Like everybody else, I was a little bit surprised at the fact that they’ve gone down that road. I think they could have been a little bit more subtle with it, and communicated it in a much better way.

“Sir Alex isn’t getting any younger, he’s an 82-year-old man, but he’s a total god at Manchester United and someone that has done wonders with our football club. They could have said, ‘we’re going to reduce your role, your pay package might be a bit less, because we want you to do less.’

“That’s the route I would have taken. For Alex Ferguson, I think it wouldn’t have been a problem. When you’re talking about an iconic man at the football club, you need to tread a little bit carefully.

“It’s fine if you’re riding high and the results are going great, but when you’re in a position like we are, to then add that to it, it’s just adding fuel to the fire. I’m no expert in business, but the way this was done, it wasn’t handled in the right way.

“It should have been a little bit more subtle.”
