Man Utd legend Ferguson outearning Clintons on talk circuit

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson is outshining the Clintons on the US talk circuit.

The Daily Mail says Ferguson is commanding £100,000 a day for corporate appearances, which puts him in the same pay league as former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary.

An inquiry made to the former Manchester United boss's Aberdeen-based management team ACF Sports Promotions, run by son Jason, was reported to have received a six-figure quote for a company day motivational speech by the football knight.

United are already coughing up for Fergie's duties as a super club ambassador. He is being paid £2million a year for 20 days' work representing the club, still leaving him plenty of time to cash in on the high demand for speaking engagements around the globe.
