Charlton: Fergie never faced the sack

BOBBY CHARLTON is adamant Alex Ferguson would not have been sacked if he had lost that fateful FA Cup tie at Nottingham Forest.

It has gone down in history that if Manchester United had fallen in their 1990 third-round clash with Brian Clough’s side at the City Ground, Ferguson would have lost his job.

There would have been no 11 Premier League titles or two European Cups, or any of the other mountain of trophies Ferguson has amassed in the intervening two decades.
