After making tactical adjustments on the fly, Ferguson returned to his seat on the away team's bench at the Emirates Stadium. He was still chewing gum, constantly observing the match.
In the past, he would communicate a bit with his assistants. But ever since Carlos Queiroz left, he found that he shared less and less common ground with them. It had become more of a dynamic where a superior issued orders to subordinates, who simply followed commands. To some extent, this was not the collaborative relationship Ferguson wanted. But it couldn't be helped; he was the most unique figure in the Premier League!
