Ferguson - Loud Mouthed Bully

[Keeper!]

Its still evident now,as he is never far away from the swamp providing his input wanted or otherwise.....

Possibly their greatest manager could also end up being be their biggest downfall?

For me he is the problem.

Another reason for the present situation, Christiano Ronaldo, that man has destroyed the dressing room and who was responsible for helping to bring him back...the piss can.

Ronaldo should have been thrown out of the door the minute Tenhaag walked through the door, he's poison, on and off the pitch, just like the piss can sat in the directors box.

It’s an interesting question actually. Would they presently be in a better position if they’re sacked him in 1990, or if he’d retired, as planned, in 2001?

To the first proposition the answer has to be ‘possibly’ to the second I would say ‘almost certainly.’

We have something to thank him for.
Yes, he put us through misery for 25 years while winning everything ... but he also ran Utd down toward the end, didn't prepare any kind of succession, recommended Moyes, got irrationally bitter toward City during our resurgence, hangs around in the background scowling at successive managers' failings, etc.

Through his ego & arrogance, he's partly responsible for where Utd find themselves now.

I think he has a big hand in it. He was a narcissist and had to own everything. Contrast that with Pep who works as part of an executive and coaching team And within a defined structure. When Pep leaves our structure will still be in place so although his successor may not reach his heights, I am convinced we will remain very competitive. When Ferguson retired their was a vacuum Which has still not been filled.
Why the hell they don’t go and hire the Chelsea female exec that was fired recently I don’t know. Recruit someone at that level that knows what they are doing and let them put a structure in place. Instead they lurch from one crisis to another another whilst the problems get worse and worse.

I for one aren’t complaining.

The living personification of hubris. Sitting there every week watching everything he created being razed to the ground, due in no small part to his own greed and vanity. Marvellous stuff, long may it continue

You’ve got to choose your battles, and Ferguson chose….poorly!

Greatest British Manager. His legacy is secure: umpteen league titles, European Cup winner and smashed the Glasgow duopoly in Scotland. Loud mouthed bully? Yep. But I’d have loved half the trophies he won to be resting in our cabinet.

I'd settle for what we've got - world class players, world class manager, playing world class football that only the RDAHMeedya seem not to recognise!

I hear that the CFC v Spurs was a kicking-do! Once upon a time MANUre had a monopoly on rough-house that went unpunished and a manager who rarely got put in his place by refs who were more than happy to take the 'peaceful' approach. I remember Andy d'Urso trying to break into the Guinness Book of Records for backwards running, being chased by half a Rag team, and Howie Redshirt and Mike Riley handing out pens for fictitious offences, and often with the innocent being sent off for good measure!

I'd sooner win nowt than win 'the United way'!

His ego has dragged the club, he supposedly loves, into utter farce. If he really cared, he’s stay away but that’s the last thing he’ll do. He’s still the Gaffer.

Long live Baconface!

They used to say that the reason why managers used to struggle at the swamp was the lingering smell that Busby used to give off.

They have just never learned even from that minor detail allowing the addled joke nose front and centre access.

I have always said Ferguson or Alex Ferguson never for one minute will I use the ‘title’. It wasn’t deserved, he is still a piece of Scottish dirt on my shoe! :-) :-(

You need to scrape that off and send it back to Scotland Eccles, we don’t want that kind of dirt here ..!
