Sir Alex Ferguson believes there’s only one man to manage England

Sir Alex Ferguson has mixed terrible form in picking managers.

The former Manchester United manager picked David Moyes as his successor, urging the Old Trafford faithful to back him and cited Moyes as the ideal man to carry on his legacy. It was a disaster and Moyes was gone within a year. However, Ferguson isn't letting that jarring experience stop him from picking managers, and has given his support for this man to be England manager: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=TnHyT-m7RsY Ferguson will be consulted about the new England boss and, according to the Sun, will give his backing to Sam Allardyce. Fergie and Big Sam are big pals, with the former United boss defending Allardyce's tactics in his autobiography:

"There is this preconception with West Ham fans that Big Sam is a survivalist who tells teams to boot the ball up the pitch. The truth is that he stayed up with a team of very average players. That’s management. He drew the best from them."

Allardyce kept Sunderland in the Premier League last season, but would undoubtedly jump at the chance to manage England. Ferguson's support could prove very influential, as the 74-year-old is close to David Gill, the FA vice-chairman and former United executive, who will be a key part of the selection process.
