The comparison to Ferguson is utterly ridiculous. Ferguson stayed at a very rich club for a very long time, a club much richer than its rivals, he won a lot of trophies.

But no one talks about his mode of football today, no one tries to emulate the style of 1999 and not just because football has moved on.

He was not an innovator he was a mechanic, constructing a well oiled machine over many years, he won a lot of stuff, then he fucked off and left little behind, beyond screwing the club he purportedly loved. No one studies his tactics today, he brought nothing new to the game and he left nothing behind.

With the exception of a few sycophants in the media he's been mostly forgotten.

Injury time is literally Fergie-time for anyone born before 1980 so he did leave that.

Just so, tapping his watch and squeaky bum time.

But it's a terrible indictment of the man that for all his accomplishments he's remembered for that, notwithstanding his bullying and incomprehensible slurry nonsense.

It's akin to Pep retiring and being remembered only for his bald head and coatigan.

Most Rags have zero knowledge of anything pre 1993 and think that players have always had squad numbers.
It's also ironic that the stock market flotation that gave them the springboard to outspent everyone and dominate for so long gave The Glazers the opportunity to acquire these shares as a leveraged buyout and plunge them so deep into debt.
Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

Was it not spuds that got the ball rolling with the first floatation and rags followed suit?

30 years ago we were applauding any goalkeeper that could clear from a back pass without tripping over their own feet in the process

Did we?

I don't remember us having one.

 

[Chris in London]

I'm not sure we'd have been on our feet. More likely we'd have fainted from shock.

Well it never happened so we'll never know :)

He’s always been a despicable **** as far as I’m concerned, people who blow smoke in his arse on here, claiming he’s a great, unbiased pundit are deluded...!

You're gonna have to give us more, blue, coz there's about eighty this applies to.

I think they did.
Another set of hypocrites who moan about money and spending.
They were balls deep in the formation of the premier league because Alan Sugar saw an opportunity to sell his set top Amstrad boxes to the masses to receive Sly Sports.
