Premiership: Fergie is 'better than ever'

Alex Ferguson is a better manager now than he ever has been. That is the implication of remarks made by former England coach Terry Venables, who believes all managers improve with age.

Speaking at a time when top-flight management is being dominated by the likes of Manchester United boss Ferguson and his Newcastle counterpart Bobby Robson, Venables stressed he is in no doubt that age is no barrier to success when it comes to taking charge of football clubs.
