My eyes blinked in disbelief when I first saw this news clip on ESPN Sportscenter. Fergie and Wenger sitting side by side, smiling, laughing and in consensus with each other? This is a scene right out of fantasy world but it really happened. For EPL fans out there, we all know that Fergie and Wenger are as different as chalk and cheese and the intense rivalry between the two clubs they managed hasn't help in fostering an amicable relationship between two of the best club managers in recent times. However, both must have the foresight to see the possible erosion of authority for football managers in the not so distant future that they decided to take a stand and send a powerful message to anyone who is willing to listen, especially the foreign owners of EPL clubs, to give managers the required authority to do their job. Serious matters aside, seeing the two managers together for a common cause really warmed my heart and deep down inside, I really believe that despite the rivalry over the past decade, both managers should have a sense of mutual respect for each other's achievements as well as their philosophies of football. Fergie joking with England coach Fabio Capello os another light hearted moment. A really pleasing and different moment of EPL which money can't buy :D
