Sir Alex Ferguson had an incredibly successful side business which made him millions alongside his managerial duties at Manchester United.Ferguson took the news well and remains a non-executive director and still able to host a table of eight in Old Trafford hospitality.In 1983, while managing Aberdeen, Ferguson set up the company, called ACF Sports Promotions Ltd. It reportedly has £24.
Wife Cathy was listed as a director until her death last year, while sons Jason, Darren and Mark became involved in November.Jason and Darren both resigned a day before their dad, with Mark remaining a director and all three still having "significant control of the business." "The changes in how the company is run all point to Sir Alex starting to slow down and take a back seat in regards to his business dealings,' an insider explained, as quoted by The Mirror.
"And who can blame him as he approaches his mid-80s. The company is in rude health and in the very safe hands of his sons." Josh is a sports journalist who specialises in football and wrestling.
