shaun.lawson Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 He's up there, certainly. I don't think he's the best ever, though. That honour goes to Rinus Michels as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Skacel Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Sadly the last of his kind I reckon. Got 4 years at Manchester United, would never get that now a days. Clubs and fans want instant results. Cant argue with what he has achieved. Winning 4 European Trophies is something else especially one which was with a Scottish club ( I dont count super cups). Respect to him. Last of his kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven98 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 He's up there, certainly. I don't think he's the best ever, though. That honour goes to Rinus Michels as far as I'm concerned. Think you're wrong there. It goes beyond football. You'd be hard pressed to name any person in any walk of life that has managed to adapt, change and still come out on top after this length of time. Really extraordinary man. Mind you, couldn't stand him when he was at the sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Brown Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The guy certainly knows his football & man management. and has proved himself as one the best ever (probably THE best). All his teams always play football that you want to watch. Although not lately, his teams and him in particular always have that bullying attitude to referees. My only gripe with him, Tony Blair giving him a knighthood after their first Champs league. Knight of the Realm? never in my eyes. Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Bobby Robson are true gentleman, Fergie can never conduct himself like these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Crane Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 the man is no bob paisley though is he now that is a man with class Hear, Hear. Paisley should have been knighted along with Shankly & Fagan. Mind in his book, Mirror journo Brian Reade says when he was younger he wrote to Shankly saying it was a disgrace the establishment hadn't honoured him. He got a reply from the great man saying: "The only personal honour I'm interested in is the applause from the fans after we've won". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Spackler Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I would say if you can't respect Alex Ferguson regardless of the team you support yourself you don't really know what football or sport in general is all about. As for Alex Ferguson the individual I know a friend who managed to get him to speak at a charity dinner free and gratis. He flew to Edinburgh from Manchester to do so. Good guy. He can also tell the press to GTF and get away with it! Not because he's the manager of Man U but because he's Alex Ferguson. A legend in his own time.

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 so you are not a hearts fan Heh heh, of course I am, when I say Liverpool fan, I don't actually mean "fan" as in my eyes a fan or supporter is someone who actually goes to support the team. It's probably 20 years since I was at Anfield mate, however it's only 3 days since I was at Tynie, so to answer your question, yes I am a Hearts fan.

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 From a Scottish football point of view, those who were football supporters during Ferguson's time at Aberdeen could not have failed to be impressed by the way Ferguson stuck it right up Rangers and Celtic season after season. To ignore this acheivement and his Cup Winners Cup victory is simply churlish. I don't really care about football in Engerland, but his record is outstanding and therefore he deserves respect for what he has built at Man U.
