Weekend Review - 12 May 2013

Manchester United vs Swansea City

8 May 2013 is the day where Fergie made an announcement that he will retire at the end of the season. A span of 26 years at the club, he had won 38 trophies. No manager could ever eclipse this record again, with so many impatient owners sacking manager even when there is no sign of trouble.

We will also welcome David Moyes as the successor that has big shoes to fill. With Fergie moving up as a director and an ambassador at the club, he could offer fatherly advise to Moyes. Moyes is also the 3rd manager in the Premier League that has not been sacked. Operating on a shoestring budget at Everton, he is able to keep Everton at the top half of the table.

Despite not proven in the European stage, we do believe with the time given, he has to prove to everyone why Fergie choose him. Though abit disappointed at Moyes' appointment and not Jose Mourinho, Fergie came to Man Utd as an unknown despite winning Scottish Premier League and European Cup Winners Cup with Aberdeen. Let us keep our expectation low at the moment.

We will have Swansea visiting us at Old Trafford, and we will have our title celebrations right after the final whistle as the last game is to West Brom Albion. I would say it will be a muted celebration ever since Fergie announced to retire.

Man Utd will give 1.75 handicap. No punt as i believe both set of players are already in holiday mood.
