Birmingham City Thread - 2023/24

Just shows how much smoke the media blows up Rooney's arse, Forgetting his personal life and lifestyle, In football terms and being a football manager sorry out of your depth, Anybody involved in the Fergie years at United as a player will never understand football or management, Simple reason is Fergie's United was handed everything on a plate because of the fear and power they held with the Premier League and match officials,

When you have to stand on your own 2 feet and become a football manager the safety net is not there and you have to earn the right to be a manager, Nobody should be given a safety net no matter what club you played for, Anybody involved with the Fergie years at United are never going to make good managers,

List your Ex utd players who have had good careers as a football manager,

1....
2....
3....
1. Gary Neville
2. Wayne Rooney
3. Ryan Giggs

Thats what the informed mainstream media tell me ever day.

So either you are a bitter blue or they are full of shit.

I used to work in Lincoln Square just off Deansgate and his favourite restaurant was Wings The Chinese place. He was in there regularly as it seemed the paparazzi were almost constantly camped out there waiting for him

Agree with all that. I also think that United were so rigid tactically in the Ferguson era that the players under him learned very little. They played 442 virtually all the time with fast wingers lumping early balls into the box. Nothing wrong with that at the time but football has moved on in this country. When you listen to former United players talking on TV they seem to have no ideas about modern football (Rooney epitomises this). They are fixated on the 1990s...just like most of their fanbase. Long may it last.

.... all while they go on about the music that was around at the time and then how simple life was.

However, long may this last indeed with their living on past glories. They played boring kick and rush and boring knocking the ball about. It was so basic and it still flabbergasts me today how nobody back then cottoned onto it.

Thats why they struggled in Europe for a large part (1999 aside). It was only towards the end of his management, with more foreign managers like Benitez and Mourinho coming into the Premier League, who had a lot of success in European competition, that Ferguson followed their style of how to approach European knock out football, hence winning it again in 2008, and reaching two finals afterwards.
