TRon Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Ferguson didn't just build one great Man U team, he built two or three. When they got stale or too big for their boots, he dismantled the team and rebuilt a new model. Not only that, they played fast attacking football throughout his time. Does that mean he could have done it in the present era? No one can say for sure, but he'd have as good a chance as anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Fergie's greatest achievement was winning the title in his final season, still can't believe he did that with the squad he had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cheesy Beans Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 We have some really stupid posters on this board. Jesus Christ. Ahh, you feel confident enough to post in this thread now that it's not a direct question to you about Bruce. Still think he's doing ok? state of this post man honestly Samptime offers absolutely no discussion and just brings childlike insults, it’s not totally wrong for people to pull him up and ask him for a real conversation. I disagree completely with Shearergol, but the overreaction on this board was pathetic sometimes. He said he wasn’t convinced, he’s hardly stating Fergie would be fighting relegation. It’s not a completely ridiculous statement to make questioning whether or not a retired manager would be as effective as they previously were.

MickMack Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I don’t believe the game has changed that much that Alex Ferguson wouldn’t still be one of the best managers in the world if he came back. It’s not changed into a different sport it’s still football, he’s still been involved he’s there every week watching it, he’d still get more out of his players than nearly every manager in that league. Rafa got our cloggers to mid table yet when he had money at Liverpool he still couldn’t better Ferguson, most of us would still trust Rafa specially with money. That Man Utd squad Ferguson right now would have them competing for the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Fergie knew when to change players, and almost as importantly, when to change coaches. A lot of managers that have started to go stale at clubs eg. Howe and Wenger could have learnt from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Man has different opinion in football. front page news. Following him around asking for an update on his opinion is a bit bizarre like. Very bizarre. Last season I was okay with Bruce, because I thought staying up was key for the takeover. For one season, it was fine. I have said several times he can't progress us forward, and I worry about this season but I have got several posters constantly following me around or mentioning my name, and asking me about Bruce. It's weird. Saying Ferguson wouldn't be a good manager nowadays is a ludicrous statement. It shows a basic lack of understanding about football. Not even up for debate.

geordie john Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Isn't it significant that not a single player under Ferguson has become a successful manager? Roy Keene? Bully Beckam? - no Scholes? no Giggs? Hardly Bruce? Don't make me laugh! Or am I missing somebody? Good or even great players do not make good or great managers....

Kanj Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Sir Alex finished his career at the very top. Age (health) likely the only things stopping him. Brilliant manager and always surrounded himself with the right backroom team to get it done. As much as I wish we got the better of him in the Keegan days and SBR days, he was always equipped with deeper pockets and/or the more experienced player or two to finish the job. He'd be one of the top today IMO - the amount of shite coaches out there is astonishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It shows a basic lack of understanding about football. Not even up for debate. I find this an interesting comment because if you want to accuse someone of that, I would have to argue that it's possible that you yourself are guilty of this. You maintained last season that 'Bruce was doing ok'. I think many people would say that what happened last season was in spite of Bruce and not because of him. That's gleaned from many years of watching football (and personal experience with Pardew) Some people might say that that shows a basic lack of understanding of football from you. Others would say it's your opinion. If you don't agree with someone's opinion, give them a counter argument, don't belittle them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Imagine the week of the takeover. Richest club in the world, Bruce binned off, Keys losing the run of himself all over Twitter. All the wankers who want to see one of their own in these kinds of jobs crying on Sky and BT. Fucking glorious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
