Despite the public outcry. How Ferguson reacted to INEOS's decision to terminate his contract

Recent developments from Manchester United have left supporters feeling less than optimistic. Fans have reacted with disappointment to the news that Sir Alex Ferguson’s contract as a club director will be terminated at the end of the season. Insights into how the esteemed Scotsman has taken this news have emerged.

Details: According to The Athletic, Ferguson learned about this decision directly from Sir Jim Ratcliffe during a meeting focused on measures to reduce the club’s expenses. The legendary manager reportedly accepted the news with understanding. He will remain a non-executive director and retain the right to attend matches. However, it has been noted that Sir Alex was disheartened by the fact that his former colleagues and friends would be losing their jobs.

Reminder: Ferguson served as Manchester United's head coach from 1986 to 2013. Following his managerial career, the Glazer family invited him to join the club's leadership, compensating him with several million pounds annually.
