Alex Ferguson is understood to be giving serious consideration to ending his 26-year reign as Manchester United manager. More follows

Would suprise me if he retired with such short notice. He's always said he'd continue as long as his health permits it, so whether this hip thing he's got is worse than he's let on or there's some other health concerns that's come to light I'm not sure. Guess we'll find out sooner rather than later because the way the press are running with this I'm sure United are gonna have to make some sort of statement soon.

If he does decide to call it a day (I hope he doesn't) then I'd like Mourinho to come in. Sure would be strange without Fergie though...

I refuse to believe any news stories posted by Nerf!

Good thing I didn't post it then.

You can prove nothing!

[Katsuya]

Possibly a twitter rumour since there's nothing seemingly confirmed, but apparently there's a statement at 10am.

[Hobo]

Oh god, there will be one hell of a SSN wankfest if he does go.

[Matt]

Oddly enough Sky seem to be completely ignoring this rumour. You'd have thought their sources would have come up with some sort of exclusive about it by now.

How many of you fucks were alive before Fergie was manager of Man Utd? >_>

Well, Through The Night is on repeat until 6am now...

[Gazz]

Me.

You are a fuck? I always knew it!

News broke around 10pm though didn't it? I thought theywere live until 12.

[Lineker]

Nah, loop starts at 11, fairly sure of it. Even so, nothing for them to corroborate it with at that hour anyway.

I was. Only just though.

[9 to 5]

Not something to be proud of, is it?

[Adam]

I wasn't

I think it'd be the biggest thing to happen in British football for many years. I just can't even imagine a Premier League or Man Utd side without Ferguson at the helm. I think in my head I've just assumed he is going to carry on forever.

[Nerf]

Kind of hoping it's gonna signal a downfall of United, but they may be too established for that to ever happen now

[Berober]

WAIT WAIT WAIT. They loop SSN during the night? I never knew that!

[Lineker]

....seriously?

[Noah]

. Was slightly less than a week after I turned 8

[Ant]

I don't think Mourinho will go to any other club. It's Chelsea or abroad.

[Gazz]

I'm still holding out hope he wants to manage Newcastle to finish what his mentor, Sir Bobby started.
