It’s three in the morning, you have got work in about five hours, the missus is still waiting for that alone time you promised her when you popped downstairs for a glass of water, but you convince yourself, just one more game, at least until the second leg of that crucial Champions League tie against Barcelona.

In a tenure almost as long as Fergie's, journey down managerial memory lane and re-live the lengthily appointments at you computer desk.
