Football: Ryan Giggs - Yes, there will be life after Fergie.

THE boss intends to call it a day at the end of next season and although everyone at the club wants him to stay, I can't see him changing his mind.

The players have always had an open mind about the subject of his replacement and although names like Arsene Wenger and David O'Leary have been bandied around it's not really the done thing to start talking about who we want at the moment.

In the past critics have always maintained that we wouldn't recover from our losses. When Eric Cantona left everyone thought we would not be the same formidable force. When Peter Schmeichel quit the same critics said we would never find a replacement.

We have proved them all wrong and although it won't be so easy to replace the gaffer, he has ensured that when he does go the new man will walk into a first-class set-up.

We have training facilities that are second to none, a youth team set-up which is exceptional and a team that, when Sir Alex does go, will be reaching its peak.
