Very true.
Albanian Saint is spot on.
When we did Love Street, the Final Chapter, one of our team wrote to SAF requesting an interview.
He explained that although it was an official club publication, it was being done BY fans and FOR fans.
Sir Alex was very gracious and granted an interview.
Following the publication, he was sent a copy.
On top of that, I sent him the full unedited transcript of my interview with Tony Fitzpatrick, in which Fitzy said so many positive things about Fergie and how ahead of his time he was.
To my astonishment I received a two page personal reply from the great man himself.
Midweek, between two important European fixtures. On Manchester United headed paper.
He didn't just reply, he carried on the conversation, talking about Fitzy, his own time at the club, and even his family.
Of course he (probably) holds a grudge against the club.
I believe the club was in the right at the time.
BUT... he IS a legend to most fans my age. He IS the reason for our affliction! He IS still revered by most.
We have the chance to extend the olive branch and be the bigger metaphorical person.
I think, based on events to date, he would accept that olive branch.
