Hope all goes ok for him. Couldn't stand him as a manager, but I wouldn't wish ill on anyone. Plus, I would hate for him to miss our potentially winning Number 6.

The tension within the LMA and the referee group is palpable.

[Leyton388]

I seriously hope he pulls through.

[Slinky Skills]

Not good, hope he's ok and manages to get through it.

I know he was their boss but he was a ****ing brilliant manager and deserves some respect.

[Norbs]

I don't understand why he has to be respected, he cheated and lied and used his position to get off a charge. I don't respect him

[Roboklopp]

Yep, he was a bully and a cheat and encouraged a level of cynicism, intimidation and gamesmanship which didn’t exist to such an open extent prior to his reign.

[RoadEnd]

Hope he recovers


- so he can continue watching Man Utd play **** football.

[Big-Red-Ed]

Agree that he was a bully etc and went to far to preserve man ure'a position at the top but that was football and this is a human thing. I wish him well.

Respect is a very ambiguous and amorphous concept. People talk about respecting traits that people have "Well Hitler was a good leader", respecting achievements, respecting people's feelings or wishes, respect for the dead because they're dead, and then a near all-encompassing being 'respectable', and then a simple "respect, bro". It basically means whatever you want it mean, so means very little when thrown about near randomly. Claim to have it or don't, makes no odds. But then people get all hissy about 'disrespect'. It seems more obvious when people are being disrespectful than respectful for some reason.

But anyway, **** the bacon faced cunt. My only thoughts are that I hope that when he dies, it's when I'm away on holiday so I don't get his 'off their ****ing perch' bull**** obituary rammed down my throat.

Liverpool FC: A great rival but also a great friend who supported this club during its most difficult time, it is hoped that Sir Alex will make a full recovery.

[Kenneth]

"it is hoped that" is a slightly odd turn of phrase. What's wrong with "we hope that"?

[Marina]

Scary, hope he recovers for his sake and his loved ones’. A total ******* but a human who as far as we know didn’t truly harm anyone in his life and who deserves to be treated with the same basic human decency as anyone else.

****ing hell, hope he pulls through. He was pivotal in getting me into football as a kid in the 80s when he was Aberdeen manager. An absolute arsehole as an adversary, but the best manager of his generation.

All the best to him
