ARCHIE KNOX hopes some of Alex Ferguson’s magic has rubbed off on him as he prepares to face his mentor’s bitter rivals Arsenal today.
The Scot, 60, only arrived at the Reebok in August as Sammy Lee’s assistant and finds himself in charge after spending most of his career as a No 2.
Knox worked with Fergie at Manchester United and Aberdeen and also spent time alongside current Rangers boss Walter Smith. He said: “I’ve grown up with them — Walter and I played together and I spent 11 years with him at both Rangers and Everton.
“You develop your own experience along the way but you cannot help but pick up the traits of the guys you work with.”
Knox is happy to hold the fort but has no desire to take the job permanently.
He added: “When this comes later along in your career I think it’s time for younger guys to take over the high pressure roles that managers have now.”
Knox gave up a role with Scotland’s Under- 21s to join Lee and now faces an uncertain future.
He said: “There will be disappointment at Sammy’s departure. “I’m sure the players will feel that but it’ll be case of them getting on with the job they are paid for.
“Every game is massive but there is no harder task than Arsenal away.”
42 min, good dribling run by Hleb and good cross produced by Eduardo, but a Poor Header from Adebayor with the Ball off the Target completely....:onion03:
