Ferguson - Loud Mouthed Bully

I am old enough to remember Mercer, Busby and Shankley. These guys came over as gentlemen in public but they were all hard men (even Uncle Joe) and would stand absolutely no messing from any player. Where they differed from the GPC was that they were sportsmen. They liked to win, but if their team got stuffed they would admit the other team were better on the day. They definitely did not slag off and take the piss out of other teams. They gave respect and consequently were respected.

The GPC will never be respected by me as he was and is a cnut. It's as simple as that. I don't give a shite what he achieved, he's not a quarter of the men Mercer, Busby or Shankley were.
I remember a story about Shankley. He was giving his team talk before a fixture vs the rags.
”Look boys, this is a tough fixture. They have got Charlton, the best player in England; Best so tricky and Law who can score any time. They are a very good team. So just go out and smash them.”
Result: Liverpool 3:: Rags 0.
I do hope it was true!

Sorry mate but Bill Shankly was a legend.

Love it. That has the authentic Shankly ring to it.
 
BBC News - Sir Alex Ferguson tells jury Ryan Giggs had a fantastic temperament

Best they had at the club. I suppose it's a tough choice between the one who sleeps with his brothers missus, the one who dodges drugs tests by jumping of out bathrooms windows, the one who Kung Fu kicked a fan, the one who sold rancid meat to Manchester primary schools to fill United's coffers, the one who sells knock off tickets, the one who peers under women's toilet stall doors and all the ones who regularly visited brothels behind their wife and kid's backs.

Bastion of morality that place, especially under Ferguson.
