Controversial one. What if Ferguson came here instead?

Swales would have sacked him. I think he went five years at the rags without a trophy and the fans were lobbying to replace him. He also lost a derby 5-1 to us. No way Swales would have stuck with him he'd have been gone

George Graham and Dave Bassett

Harry Bassett agreed to become our manager when Franny was chairman and then changed his mind overnight

Cloughie all day long, with this team how many European Cups would he have won ?

The art of football management reminds me of what the late Richie Benaud said about successful cricket captaincy - "90% luck and 10% talent. But don't try it without the talent!"

I liked clough when Forest manager. Rumour has it that Clough made Forest players strip bollock naked and run through nettles after training because they'd lost an important game. Has anyone else heard this?

Certainly nettles not sure on the completely naked bit - sure I've heard psycho talking about it (or maybe in his book).

Either way, I'm certain he was first through............

People are getting too misty eyed over old bacon chops. He had the perfect situation to create a dynasty and that dynasty collapsed about 3 weeks after he left. Until the mid 2000's he benefited from a huge commercial and financial advantage over every other club in the league and they had very little opposition (Villa for a year, Blackburn for two seasons, Newcastle for 18 months and then only Arsenal until 2004). Even in the mid-2000s Liverpool were inconsistent, Arsenal got progressively worse and he never had to worry that one poor season could see them out of the top 4.

The rags treble was achieved by winning the league with 79 points which is shows how pathetic everyone else was. It pales in comparison to what City have had to do in recent years.

We wouldn’t of faired any worse with Mike Basset as some points.
