Former Manchester United Manager Alex Ferguson Approached to Write Another Book

Sir Alex Ferguson has retired from football, but you just can't keep him off the bookshelves. 

Fergie's second autobiography, released last year, was the UK's biggest selling book in 2013. In fact, just last month, it was re-released in paperback form with additional content. 

Now he could be set to write another book about management, based on lectures he has given at Harvard University. 

Charles Sale of the Daily Mail reports that the book is in the pipeline because sports psychologist Damian Hughes is getting so much publicity for his book, How to Think Like Sir Alex Ferguson, despite having never talked to Ferguson about the project.  

As per Sale's report: 

"

Hughes, whose Ferguson study was the subject of an interview on Radio 4’s Today programme on Wednesday, has certainly stretched any tenuous association with either Sir Alex or Manchester United to the limit.

The promotional literature originally claimed that the author had worked closely with Ferguson when it transpires that Hughes had never talked to him about the book and now ‘can’t remember’ the dates of any of the many conversations he says he’s had with Fergie.

Hughes, a visiting Professor of Organisational Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University, blames publishers Aurum for publicising his supposed working relationship with Ferguson and said he had that line withdrawn as soon as possible.

"

Either way, it looks like there will be more Fergie on the bookshelves very soon.
