Question of the Day: Will you be subscribing to the new Disney+ R49 streaming package?
Yay, a thread for a team I actually support.
Remember when Ferguson said that players never get better after leaving Man Utd. Tevez proved you wrong you sour-grape???
rofl where did fergie say that? Tevez hasn't gotten better, he's still the same
lol city targeting title after 2 wins against lowly sides...

I think if you're the greatest manager ever, you should be allowed some idiosyncrasies.
I don't deny his ability at all but he is a bit of a sour grape sometimes
Not really his fault.. If you have that much fermented grapes, you're bound to become one.

He isn't the greatest manager ever. Klaar.
Care to give us your choice? Perhaps a more successful one?

Rinus over Cruyff anyday. No Rinus - no Cruyff.
@Rhandir - while Fergie might be more successful than practically any manager ever - it does not mean he is a great manager. When we talk about the greatest managers of all time - you need to remember that the type of football we see being played nowadays was brought to us by greats such as Shankly, Busby, Michels, Cruyff etc etc...
Think about Fabio Capello and his AC Milan "Invincibles" who went on a 58 match unbeaten streak in the Serie A when it was the best league in the world - in addition to all the other honours he has won. What about Jock Stein? I'd Google that if I were you - words can't express what he managed to do... with a bunch of Scots. Brian Clough who made League Champions out of Derby and won (I think) two European Cups with Nottingham Forest...
Seriously... Fergie has won a lot... but in my eyes, Busby will always be tied with Michels for the top spot because of how HE transformed United and British football. Remember this - Ferguson might have made United into a world wide behemoth but none of that would have been possible had Sir Matt Busby not stayed on after the Munich Disaster and won that European Cup.
