The (Transfer) Value of the Key Man

Alex_FergusonAs the tributes rightly fly in for Sir Alex Ferguson, the most successful manager of our time, consider his value to the business over the last 26 years.

Hindsight is wonderful and exact and few would have been able to put a monetary value on Sir Alex especially at the inauspicious start to his Man U career.

In an age when football players are valued in 10s of millions, its intriguing to think of what transfer value might have been placed on Ferguson at the beginning of his last season?

A single player might surely make a difference, but if RVP never played again for Manchester United, chances are the new manager will replace him with somebody as good, better?

Imagine the effect on the share price (and longer term value) of Man U Plc if Sir Alex had carked it anytime during the last 26 years?

I’m sure, as a sensible employer, Manchester United would have had him extremely well insured from a Keyman point of view…or maybe they didn’t.

Time to look at your own Sir Alex and his or her value to you business and make sure that if its not a gentle exit to retirement and more of a catastrophe that makes them suddenly not there any more, you’re financial well prepared for the consequences.
