Needed a holiday read and picked up a cheap copy of "Alex Ferguson: My Autobiography", 2013.  Ghost written by Paul Hayward.

No real depth, revelation or insight here. Feels like him and the ghost writer tried to stitch together a bunch of anecdotes over the last 10-12 years. Comes across as jumbled, military medium dross. Given his continued role at the club as a director, it comes across as red-wash.

I was hoping for more managerial and leadership insight but it never really tapped into any of those depths.

Not much to recommend.

Willing to pass on to someone though,they may get more out of it. Free to a good home.
