Sir Alex Ferguson will retire as Manchester United manager at the end of the season in the 27th year of a tenure that has made him the most successful in British football.While he will become a United director and ambassador, the executive are now charged with having to appoint the successor to a man who has won 13 league titles, two Champions Leagues, the Cup Winners Cup, ve

FA Cups and four League Cups. In February, Ed Woodward, the incoming chief executive, said there was plan in place for when the Scot did step down and that plan it turns out is to appoint Everton Manager David Moyes as the new Manchester United manager on a 6 year deal. Regarding his decision, Ferguson said: The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one

that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time. It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so. The quality of this league winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure of the youth set-up will ensure that the long- term future of the club remains a bright one.

A legend in her own right, Karan Casey has long been one of the most innovative provocative and imitated voices in Irish traditional and folk music. Her career has spanned twenty years from the early days as a jazz performer in Georges bistro in Dublin to her heady days in New York with the band Solas to her now blossoming

solo career she has sold over half a million albums. Karan released her rst album with the group Solas, which quickly became the most celebrated Irish band in the U.S., and her four years with the group were pivotal. Following their groundbreaking early releases Casey struck out on her own. Exiles Return a duet album with

former Solas band-mate John Doyle was released to widespread critical acclaim in early 2010. Karan has continued to tour with her own band and as a duo with John Doyle, and has started to record a new album with Crooked Still singer Aoife ODonovan.Tickets Just 15 on sale @ Cleeres and Rollercoaster Records. Seated Gig.

Rod Stewarts rst album of original material in 20 years was prompted, he says, by writing his autobiography, and he wears his heart on his sleeve on wistful, nostalgic love songs (Brighton Beach) and thoughtful divorce laments (the single, Its Over). Musically, it runs the gamut of Rod from classic rock (opener She Makes Me Happy and the Celtic-tinged, triumphal Cant Stop Me Now) to the Do Ya Think Im Sexy? era (Sexual Religion, which boasts a dark disco beat, synths and a throaty sax solo); Finest Woman is the

Stones Start Me Up and Little T&A rolled into one libidinous bundle, while a cover of Tom Waitss Picture in a Frame reminds me not for the rst time how much the latter-day Mick Hucknall owes to the Rodster.

The title track mixes organ, crunchy guitar and sweet backing vocals for the perfect rock ballad.Among three extra tracks on the deluxe edition are Bonnie Raitts Love Has No Pride, with lovely harmonies on the chorus, and Corrina Corrina, which has bluesier harmonica than Dylans version. His voice may be sounding a teeny bit thin these days (although he still has all the high notes) but if you like Rod Stewart, you will love this album; if not, there are high points which may win you over.
