I am glad someone has finally pointed this out. It drives me up the wall how conveniently overlooked this fact is. Good call de niro.

Given the money they spent too. Yorke & Cole cost them a f*cking fortune for the day.

Indeed they fucking did. It wound me up then and, tbh, it winds me up now. Juan Vernon too, wasn't exactly a bargain buy was he? Louis Saha cost United £12M off the back of a couple of goals against them and the pair of them never exactly racked up loads of appearances. £40M for a pair of benchwarmers... Kind of raised the bar re transfer prices. The cunts.

I'd say being in one job for 26yrs, when the going is good, is beng in a comfort zone.

I'd say any number of top managers could have stayed there that long and achived what he did.

He managed the richest club in England and dominated, although consistant, its hardly surprising given his moivational(despot) skills

I think its fair to say he should have gone abroad and done it rather than stay put.

He's a glorified Walter Smith in some respects

If duplicating what he did is so easy, how come no one has ever emulated it any any other leading European club?

Perhaps not many are interested in duplcating it for many reasons also clubs have different owners, chairman, boards etc that have different ideas.

Also, I never said it was easy

Just out of interest, he was there for 26yrs and won, what 12 leagues? How many did Juve, Barca, Real win in that same time whilst changing managers?

He acheved a lot at Utd, no denying that, but I feel he should have gone abroad.

Interesting point you make about other top clubs changing managers every couple of seasons allowing fergie say five years grace to mold utd wonder how his 20 years compare to say real.barca byan etc ?

I keep seeing Sarah Jane Mee's name mentioned but it hasn't been backed up with pervy photos.

9-1=8.

Rags still have biggest winning margin.
