I wouldn't want Toon job, says Ferguson
Last updated at 17:13pm on 29.12.07Sir Alex Ferguson says his pal Sam Allardyce should be given time to prove himself.
The Manchester United boss said: "How many managers have they had in my time at United? At least 10. I'm not so sure it's a job you'd want to take. They've got to tell themselves that time is the thing. I would be astounded if they sacked Sam.
Happy here: Ferguson
"Of all the managers they've had, he's capable of doing better than most. And I'll never understand why they got rid of Bobby Robson."
