The Grapevine crew is totally about entertainment, but some stories are just too big to ignore!
Something major happened in the football world today - the rumours circulating about Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement were proved correct as this morning he announced his retirement after 27 years around the field; a move that triggered tributes from football greats.

| David Moyes: The Victory Dance |
But just who will be his successor? Looks like we've got a front runner in Everton manager David Moyes. The 50-year-old is out of contract in the summer and he is the first choice to take over from Fergie. The succession plan at the club is that there will not be major changes to the playing staff. There will also be no compensation payable to Everton for Moyes who has delayed signing a new deal in order, he has said in the past, to explore his options. An announcement on his future could be made as early as tomorrow so watch out for that.

| Jose? Think Again |
If, however, your money is on Jose "The Special One" Mourhino then think again. Senior sources at the club say there is no prospect of the club appointing the Real Madrid Manager, whom they are now convinced is already heading back to Chelsea with a deal in place.
Whoever his successor is, he's got some pretty big shoes to fill. As NPR noted, "there's a case to be made that Ferguson is the mot famous manager in the world - of any team sport."
