1st episode of the Beckham documentary was interesting. I like the approach of Fergie saying he wanted to build a club that brought young players through and developed them. I think people don’t realise how intentional you have to be to provide that pathway, continually as well.

I think the Fergie v Beckham clash is interesting as well. I may do some more research on the agent but apparently Fergie had a link to the agent he was recommending. May have been getting some kickback on that deal. Big Sam and Ravel Morrison had the same falling out over that.

Not sure how I feel about Ferguson protectionist approach in terms of looking after his young players. Well to an extent I like that he wanted what was doing. He definitely had the right intentions. But I think the level of detail was a bit insane and a lot of the stuff seemed unnecessary or immaterial.

But I definitely think Beckham was right to think about life after football and look after himself in that aspect.
