Reading stories about how Liverpool treated Shankly after he retired seem harsh when you read them, but it got to a point that he still tried to 'interfere' with the day to day running of the team. Tbh you can see ferguson being the same (hi Ronaldo signing), should have been a clean break for all involved.Funnily enough the same thing happened with Sir Matt Busby too. I wasn’t around back then but I remember reading several articles and stories about how his presence once he retired was more of a hindrance than a help.
