This man picked Aston Villa as the most impressive team when they were bottom of the league and just got trashed 5-1 by Newcastle. Everyone laughed at him, but by last week all detractors went missing as Aston Villa clinched Top 4 in style beating Arsenal twice convincingly. SAF is special. ❤
Villa is good team cuz they have strong pivot at mid. But sometimes they not play serious mybe his sponsored love betting manipulation. Overall the team are good & solid
@@luqman3722 but he picked em day one when they got trashed 5-1 and everyone laughed at him
@@danielmoore3602 I pick villa before the season start. Ofcourse watkin is the highlights player to watch. And he performed well without penalty. The team can challenge everyday. Day by day they looked too much betting play. Too much high line when it not nessecery. Overall just solid. If they play simple & careful, Newcastle can't do anything. All goal Newcastle from counter attack. Kamara Douglas solid. McGinn genius. Front three have much option. Squad depth good
Don't forget them absolutely dominating Man City for a whole game, just unlucky to get 1 goal
@@danielmoore3602 they'd ended the last season very very well though - to say he picked them when they were bottom is a bit disingenuous. Yes it was bold to say straight after a 5-1 loss but others saw what Emery was doing.
As an Aberdeen fan, SAF is nothing less than the best manager of all time. If I was a fan of an English club other than Man United, I'm sure I'd have hated him as much as the rest of England - but its impossible not to acknowledge just how influential he was to the clubs he managed.
Best manager of all time.
I was born in 95 so always he's up with him as Sir Alex, THE Man United manager. Looking back over his achievements with Aberdeen, dude was on a different leve. Beating Real Madrid with ABERDEEN is wild
Best Manager in the EPL. Ancelotti is the best period.
@@ElectroAtleticoChampions League Titles don't match 13 Premier League Titles, Ancelotti needs Real Madrid more than they need him.
@@planetebeautecali4485 Yes it does. It shows that the EPL during the 90's-20's was a "League of 1". Zilch competition for Manure until it went to European play where they were shown to be just another team.
@@ElectroAtletico🤡
Imagine winning a cup against Real Madrid with Aberdeen
Will never be repeated again
And bayern in that same tournament.
And in a european cup
Guardiola could never
@@csanadhorvathguardiola is a big team pony, ik barca and city fans start crying when they hear this but you give him an average team and he’ll get sacked in one season
Imagine this.
128 seasons in Scottish Premiership
Only 19 times were the champions not Rangers or Celtic
Aberdeen only won it 4 times and Alex Ferguson is responsible for 3 of those League titles.
He also won 2 European titles for them, those were the only times Aberdeen won anything in Europe throughout 121 years history.
Ferguson is truly amazing!
Pep won with the biggest clubs in the world. Ferguson didn't only win for Man Utd. He won with an Aberdeen side who has barely won anything in their history. In the 7 years he was at Aberdeen, he won 10 trophies. And 38 years after he left, Aberdeen only added 4 more trophies to its cabinet. Wow
Facts. And lets not act like Manchester United was a super team in 1986 either. There is no arguments here, he is the best manager of all time.
I love how people claim Aberdeen won 2 European titles. They won the cup winners cup and a one off exhibition match the following season. Does anyone count the charity/community shield as major title?
@@craigduncan7010 OK, I don't comment on this. Lets see how people view it,
"is European Super Cup a major trophy?"
Only thing I disagree with is that City aren't one of the biggest club in the world. They are one of the richest clubs but not a big club.
Since 1985 no one won the league throphy except Celtic and Rangers, enough said.
That Crystal Palace supporter should be inducted into The Premier League Hall of Fame for single handedly helping Blackburn Rovers win The Premier League Title.😂
How about Man Utd spend more than 20 years without a title
May be the worst thing is to spend 20 years in the can, making compromise
@@StoyanStefanov-bm7ri I ate grilled cheese off the radiator!!
@danielmcgrath680 no more butchy
But, hate to break the news, United fans went to his house and broke bones in his body. He wouldn't have been able to get to the award ceremony for that medal. You absolute quilt of a man
@@AlexRie1987 "eric, you know the proverbs make you emotional"
People talk about Pep [and Man City] and to be fair, they deserve the plaudits. But what Sir Alex achieved both at Aberdeen and Man Utd is simply staggering and will never be equalled, let alone surpassed. Sir Alex Ferguson - the greatest football manager ever.
Pep has already surpassed it. They won a 4 peat. It includes a treble. United did it.
Pep did what that fraud couldn’t do even when he was the only manager spending money
@KWin-nv6vp SAF won 13, Pep won 3 Bundesliga, 3 La Liga and 6 EPL. Pep won a back to back title. Two 3 peats and a 4-peat. Pep SPANKED your romanticized manager in 2 UCLs. Remember that? Pep's 2 first UCL? He DESTROYED Alex Ferguson's teams. You talk about longevity as if it's actually impressive. That's fucking stupid. You know what's impressive? Being the only manager ever to win the English 4 peat, the only manager ever to win 2 trebles, being the only manager to win 3 in a row in 3 different top leagues and being the manager who turned the Bundesliga from the most competitive top 5 league into a farmers league. But I recon you didn't even know that about the Bundesliga cause you act like an actual child who knows jack all about Fergie or Pep.
@@cutierosa2404 He didn't build that team from the ground up though, that's the difference.
@@maxfisher9428 Alex Ferguson didn't win a single trophy until he got oil money from Michael Knighton. Then he suddenly started winning cups. After 2 years of spending big cash under Michael Knighton, Fergie won the Premier League. And the rest is history. A history of big spending. Something united fans like to forget.
Fergie wasn’t working with elite level teams from day 1 like pep. He developed them. Pep has taken a great team and made them greater.
You didn't know most of the players before they came to Man City
In two years, City bought 2 keepers and 8 defenders for Pep. And the keeper that was ousted was Joe Hart. Why don't we say the truth, in a really rich and patient club, Pep can thrive, otherwise, I am not sure about Pep.
@@wafulasoita09 kdb was unknown? Haaland, Rodri and the list goes on
Fergie's United isn't facing 115 charges, nuff said.
Fergie never used steroids like Pep did 😏
Saying he had no tactics is crazy, Sir Alex is a genius
Yeah you don't win 13 Premier League titles with no tactics. You don't win against Mourinho, Ancelotti, Wenger, Mancini, Benitez with no tactics. People parroting this myth are filthy casuals.
People like to talk shit about these kind of coaches smh they do the same today with Ancelotti
He didn't have tactics though. Sure, he had basic 4-4-2 pressing, passing through the lines tactics but he'd get outclassed by most managers in todays game. Only reason he wont against others is because his team was better than anyone else's. When it came to playing against equally skilled teams in Europe, he mostly failed. Against Pep Guardiola, He got exposed so bad.
@@Hoolzz lol what you smoking. Both Arsenal & Chelsea of that era were 2 of the best teams to ever play the game.
@@Hoolzz SAF basically brought the 4-2-3-1 into English football when everyone was playing Four-Four-F*cking-Two. Sir Alex always had a withdrawn striker/False nine (Cantona, McClair, Hughes) dropping between the wingers with two midfielders alternating between going forward and holding. When the Class of 92 showed up and they won the treble, he was playing an asymetric 4-2-3-1 with Neville as the right winger because Beckham would often pass from deeper (the attacking RB position), Giggs either going to the byline for a cross while the wing-back Irwin cut in, or him cutting in while Irwin took the width, Keane holding more often than not unless there was a break on, Scholes being the playmaker/scorer next to him, and Cole and Yorke alternating who was the False 9 and who pushed up. He then tried moving to a straight 4-3-3/pure 4-2-3-1 (1 striker, 1 AM) in 2001 by buying Veron, 3 years before Mourinho "brought the 4-3-3 to England." And the 2008 League + Champions League double was one using a mix of 4-3-3, a funky asymetric version, and the insane 4-2-1-3 hybrid of the two.
The man was constantly shifting his tactics and players around. He shut Barcelona down over two legs for the 08 victory. The big difference between him and Pep regarding tactics is that Sir Alex preferred letting the players play, compared to Pep's obsession with controlling the game and micromanaging every position and player movement.
Like Ronaldo said “It was unbelievable, but it was good. We learned.”
Nowadays young players would go on social media, rant and try to get the manager kicked out.
Sancho mentioned
Like sancho a loser
Nowadays people are soft.
Also sounds like Ronaldo that second statement
@@rezaimran98 Yeah people were saying that in the 90s. Mostly the whinging self pitying people.
Appointed 1986. 1st title 1993. 7 years of patience certainly paid off.
No he won several cups before that. Premier League he won ftom 1993.
He didn't build a team . He built a conveyor belt. Thats takes a wee bit longer but it lasts a lot longer.
What I would give as a United fan to have a man of his spirit, courage, foresight, and dedication at the helm of the club now.
We have a manger in that very same vein, it's just players like Rashford & a few others that let him down
@hayabusasfightpalace9798 100% agree. Ten Hag ❤
We have one, it’s just modern footballers are predominantly pre Madonna’s
A man with even half of his spirit would have us in the title race..he was such an icon
Trust the process, hope the boards stick with one manager who has a vision. Rome wasnt built in a day, City didn't achieve success overnight, Chelsea didn't, so why we expect Man Utd to do what other clubs can't.
I’ve lived for 65 yrs and never seen anyone with his skills. No Arab finance, no fiddling of finances just pure ability to motivate. The rest are all second to this man.
come on, for the vast majority of his reign he had the #1 budget in England. He had most domestic success during an era where England was absolutely terrible in Europe and at best the 4th best league. The best team before that (Liverpool) was in shambles. Soon as Arsenal then Chelsea got their act together he won only 1 BPL in 5 years. That first period is comparable to Lyon in the 2000s or Bayern last decade.
On top of that he was blessed with a crop of young talent that hasnt been rivaled since in the English game and wasnt replicated by himself either.
His biggest achievement is actually the latter part of his career between 2007-2013. These 5 titles were won when the BPL was the #1 (2007 - 2008) and #2 (2009-2013) league in Europe, and he combined it with European success. However one shouldnt forget that United was absolutely destroyed by Barça twice.
Ferguson was a great manager but to be in the conversation with the likes of Pep or Carlo he needed more European success.
@@daarom3472 dude, Man City was top spender more times in the PL than Manchester United and City only got it's money in 2008.
Arab finance lmfao I didn't know there was an Arab privilege
@@daarom3472it’s fair to say they were destroyed by Barca but that team was without a doubt one of the greatest football teams of all time if not the greatest
@@daarom3472 Have you forgotten what he did at Aberdeen?
I find it laughable that people say sir Alex didn’t use tactics haters
I know. Stretford Paddock had the former youth development and United senior coach on talking about the in and out of possession styles they used. Even Gary Neville was explaining how they would just go into a back 3 when either him or Evra over/underlapped with the wingers. Just a small example but SAF basically allowed his coaches to teach a lot of what they wanted to do tactically during training. Think it's simply because tactics really started to become the cool thing these last few years but meanwhile nobody talks about Carlo tactics either and that guy can't stop winning things.
I think he was a stronger man-manager than tactician - but man was he an excellent tactiction. All weaknesses are relative.
@shadowside8433 he was an awful man manager. Shipped out becks, Keane and co just because he didn't get along with them. Sure, he was great when you blindly followed him. If you didn't, he threw a fit and kicked you out. Still the goat but his man management is over rated.
People who don't underatand football say the strangest things about the game. Get similar nonsense apoken about Ancelotti these days. Just because a coach or manager isn't set in their ways tactically, doesn't mean they don't get tactics. If anything, it means they have a greater understanding than their peers because they are capable of setting their teams up according to the situation.
Beyond laughable to the point people to this day still say United played a 4-4-2 in the 90's because they couldn't see or understand United used a 4-4-1-1 utilising players like Hughes, Cantona and Yorke as "9 1/2's" as his own unique way of adapting Italian trequartista's for British football.
Man it feels like yesterday but it's been 11 years since SAF left.How time flies
I will never forget
😢like 11 years oh
In Manchester, growing up, he was seen as a figure of guidance, authority, respect and discipline. He just didn’t tolerate shit. Many will have fallen short of the high mark but he pushed the players and everyone benefitted from this amazing club he built. He was Manchester United. His spirit was incredible. A very high standard of a man.
As a Boy supporting Liverpool since 1988 I grew hating Sir Alex Ferguson's Man Utd but now I understand he is the greatest manager of all time in EPL which we dearly missed today even Juergen Klopp can't be surpassed the expectations.
For decades, I hated him with every fibre of my being, almost as much as the hatred of the club he managed. However, I respect this man as a supremely gifted football manager in terms of man management.
Roy Keane would say otherwise lol
@@GrouchyKraut Let him say whatever he wants. Doesn't change anything.
Sir Alex Ferguson is a LEGEND! ⚽🙌
Fergie took over broke struggling clubs , Aberdeen & then Man Utd & built dynasties.

I'm new subscriber bcoz of this doccie.

He made me a fan.
He made me a believer.
He made me a Man United supporters.
He is the greatest to ever do it.
The enigma.
You deserve more subs! I love your narration and vids, it's like I'm watching a tv sports documentary.
This is so well put together!
A lot of so called "United fans" who are actually just glory hunters fifa spoiled keyboard warriors need to watch this. We are in that 3 year losing phase which SAF went to, with ETH right now. It will turn. But we need to give him time and not go after his head. There are clear signs.
Tbh i don't care , i just a fan of this shit club over 20 years , not long but enough to understand one thing : win or lose i will always look forward man utd game . That become routine of my life 😊
Agreeddd
The worst is, we actually have trophies lmao. Alex went empty handed for 3 seasons, and yet they demand a sack. We have Garnacho, Mainoo, we could go for a C1 spot if we can fix the injuries.
@@maxiejohnson8356It's funny isn't it ? Having United fans wanting him gone despite being the most successful manager we had after Ferguson.
I love this 👏👏
That why ETH needs time. Dynasties like the one brought by Ferguson are not built in a single season or a day. But if we want instant gratification in a single season win, then let's let him go and get a Tuchel or Poch, then go back to the drawing board after two seasons.
If we seriously sack him I doubt we will win a league for the next 10 seasons
@@jamestyler12JTIf we had Sir Alex Ferguson today he would have already been sacked and lot of fans would have thrown him under the bus.
We have a manager who in his two first seasons won two trophies despite the second season being quite bad but I guess those United fans prefer a finish in the top 4 with no trophies to then cry that we are incapable of winning trophies.
@@augustinyeovanmengomeobame9652 exactly. If social media was around in the 80s you would see the same stuff about him. It’s a shame how reactive people on social media are, it’s not ETH’s fault we’ve had so many injuries, yes the game plans haven’t been great but again he’s had to try and make the most of a team with multiple injuries and little quality in the depth.
@@augustinyeovanmengomeobame9652 I suspect he will be sacked soon though. It's a shame but what can we do
No it's not, ETH is a clown. Look at all his press conferences. It's not the same at all, and not the same era either.
"WE haven't won the League in the last 20yrs. That is a great challenge for the Manchester United players & will be until it is achieved" - Sir Alex Ferguson.
First Press Conference: "WE" is the first WORD he used because he put Manchester United DEEP inside his HEART.
But SAF has Tactics, no one could be that GREAT without Tactics.
Do your homework right sir.
Sir Alex Ferguson the GREATEST
♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥
As a Manchester United fan, the joy this man brought to me and my family, friends, has no value attached. And incredible man.
It’s a real shame that this video is only 16 minutes long. I felt like it should have 30-50 minutes. I would have watched every second of it.
INEOS, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the minority of some Manchester United fans that wants Erik TEN HAG sacked should watch this video and learn.... I don't understand how some folks can't see the subtle progress of the club under ETH.
Because now adays generation dont know value of real football from scratch to legacy.. all they care is money..
ETH didn't deserved to be compared with Sir Alex. Anthony clown, Disrespect Club legend CR7, Dismantled by Liverpool and so on.
@@iantan232Fergie disrespected Roy Keane, don’t pick and choose
Subtle progress, they've gone backwards this season conceded more this season than last season and a low scoring team two seasons in a row winning a cup doesn't hide that fact.
Are you serious? xD
The only way i would consider ETH as a very good manager, will be by winning Netherlands League with the kind of Utrecht FC + european title.
Pep rules but he inherited a well-oiled machine - a team with 2 championships & 2 runners up spots in the last 4 years. Fergie built United from a shambles. In a cave. From a box of scraps.
Yeah would like to see Pep take over a mid table team or even Spurs and make them win trophies to prove his name.
@@LYJManchesterUnited why didn't Fergie do that
United was big before him
so doesn't make sense
@@DinduDanielsUnited in the 70's and 80's had more relegations than league titles.They won a few fa cups but besides that they were a mid table side with a 2nd place finish sometimes.Aston Villa,Arsenal, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Everton were the big dogs during that time
@@christhewolf4246 United were expected to win the title under Ron Atkinson lmao. The team was amazing and had genuine world class players when Fergie took over and spent a lot of money. There is something to be said about what Tommy Docharty could have accomplished had he stayed in charge, but I digress. That team under Ron had Bryan Robson, Gordon Strachan, Frank Stapleton, Paul McGrath, Norman Whiteside, Mark Hughes, and Peter Davenport. Ron was sacked because he was expected to at least challenge for the league and had lost 6 of the opening 8.
@@DinduDaniels the last time madrid ever lost a European cup final,it was to sir Alex Fergusons Aberdeen.Yeah man he can't do shit with small teams
Good video, keep going 🙏
When Wenger came with his Arsenal France Renaissance, they said the man is done.
Yet he came back again, ending the invincible run.
When Jose came with the special
One Chelsea revolution, they said this is it, Man United reign is over.
Yet he came back again with guard of honors from Chelsea!
When he lost the title to city by 6-1 beating at home and the late goal difference from Aguero, they said it’s time. RIP fergie!
Yet he came back again next season! winning three points upon three points in the dying minutes with come back score that often ended in 3-2, and the 20th league title! 😂
Even during his retirement, he commented about how Villa will be a great side and the one to watch even after their embarrassing match against Newcastle. Rival fans and Newcastle fans called him a senile and the dementia is kicking in.
Now at the end of the season, looking back at that statement, he’s spot on again! 😂
The epitome of GOATNESS, SIR ALEX FERGUSON! 🐐

Best of the best Sir Alex,God be with you always ❤
He will always be one of my absolute heroes. Not for just what he did at United, but for the mentality he instilled to everyone around him. In every sport i struggle to see many, if any, examples of this. SAF an all time legend of every sport.
As an Arsenal fan who fell in love with Football exactly at those glory days of that rivalry I got to say I have enourmous respect for Sir Alex!
I love your videos on yt man
Keep doing what you are doing
He retired at the perfect time. He saw the crop of youngsters coming up at the club and knew they were trash and got out while the getting was good. Smart
I will never stop loving SAF ❤️ SUCH A KING 👑
Amazing bro
The lack of comment on Jose Mourinho and Chelsea and how it changed Ferguson united , makes this doc only 98% good.
Which comment was it actually? Just wanna know
@@Roe124 The lack of comment. They should have mentioned it.
That’s a bit of a stretch
Jose was the toughest rival in EPL according to SAF
@MFDOOM4635 it was mourinho's chelsea that convinced fergie to rebuild from the back, Ferdinand, vidic & Evra also turned utd into a counter attacking team
Do sir Bobby Robson next please, love these videos👏
I love the mentality
Even as a Liverpool fan itd be a crime not to think of this man as anything other than a Legend.
United and Sir Alex is the match made in Heaven
Great Man❤
SAF one of a kind...evn though I support Liverpool but can't help but respect him...he is the one who introduced Manu to the world. In a good way...where every other team was terrified to face his team.
One of the greatest man-managers in football history; an absolute titan of a man!
Its crazy that Ferguson at 5:40 has the EXACT same quote as Giannis Atenokoumpo had about losing last year in the NBA playoffs . Elite mindset .
The greatrst sports psychologist of all time...well said there 😌
Legend ❤
Remember SAF never been sacked even once in his career.
The man practically invented sports psychology in the UK!
Manchester United ... Sir Alex 😊
This man is a legend. As a Man u fan I can't help but notice the tiny similarities between him and ETH and how their Manchester united career began. 🧐🤔
I'm getting so emotional when I watch those. GGMU!
When I coached the boys here in Odense some 30 years ago I didn´t have any tactics, nothing preset, no defined approach. Instead I took a look at each and every single player, tried to assess their strengths, their favored style of play and made my "tactical approach" based on what I had to work with, that includes those I deemed to be reserves.
I was only there for one season due to personal reasons, had to move. In that season I employed a 3-6-1 which won us the league. Too many managers out there wanting a certain style play which doesn´t suit their current squad at all. But I know, coaching juniors isn´t exactly the same as a top flight challenge.
That's the best way to win junior football. Stacked midfield and a quick striker. The defense doesn't matter because if they bypass the midfielders they score almost 99% of the time unless you're playing a 5 at the back.
THE GOAT.
"You have to treat losing as part of the progress..." - SAF. That's why ETH should be given time to change the mentality and dynamics of the squad.
Ferguson, Ancelotti adaptation to situation is what makes them so successful
aberdeen also won against bayern munich in the same european cup winners cup , where they won their first trophy vs Real Madrid. Also, As of 2024, this match remains the last time Real Madrid have lost in any final of a European tournament. Truly amazing.
I worked with a guy in the NHS who was in the Youth Academy at United, he never made it in professional football. He was at the club in the mid 00s. SAF knew all the academy boys names when he visited.
Thanks for making this. WP
Will always be considered the greatest manager of all time and I can't see it changing. Some people falsely say Pep but he took over a Barcelona side with Messi and best players in the world players that were brought up on Cruyff's style and also doped up we know now against us in the finals, then the same with Bayern but he pretty much failed there and at Man city cheating once again even though they were already a winning club with the best players in the world, he has players that can play any position, I believe any decent football fan can do the same things Pep do and until he takes a mid table club like Ferguson did with Aberdeen and Manchester United he will never be compared to Ferguson apart from by young highlight watching stat obsessed social media following football fans but any real supporter who understands the difference in the work they had to put in will know. Ferguson managed and looked after the whole club, had to look after every player, tactics and coaching though he delegated last ten years, and keot every player motivated. All Pep does is say go play good and doesn't even have to man manage as he has so many players and can just sell and buy a player who is unhappy and his whole style is based on Cryuffs and its still not as exciting as Fergusons style of direct attacking, always passing forward, wingers,crossing,aggressive,risky,and never giving in and the way adapted over the years and changed his team is what makes him the best just look at Klopp he couldnt do it or handle it on the pitch or off it and he hardly won anything and if United manager would be considered a failure! Also premiership teams don't bother trying against Man City and just write the game off and get rest but in Europe teams do so City fail there. By far the greatest manager of all time
@dondamon4669.......Spot on mate! Man Utd in their prime, were simply unplayable.
'Also premiership teams don't bother trying against Man City and just write the game off' that quote seems so true , when united where under Sir Alex everyone wanted to beat them , didn't kevin keegan have a rant about that. the only teams who care to beat city are maybe the top 6 sides
Worst case of brainlessness I have ever seen.
When I see drive and fire like that it hits me hard
The greatest manager to ever live
😢
Genius❤❤❤
As an Arsenal fan, he was one of the greatest managers ever because he made Manchester United an even bigger European giant. And the rivalry had pushed Arsenal themselves to strive for success.
Good video
Sir Alex can adapt to changes and that was his main strength.Moreover,his power to read his opponent and tweak his system to exploit any weakness is second to none.
Best sporting manager of all time not just football
The great man
Ferguson adapted to the game tactical requirement while adding his interpersonal touch and make players give 150%. That is what he does in a nutshell. He is always outmaneuvered by new tactic revolutionaries like Wenger and Mourinho but ended up winning against them by adapting to how they play.
Regardless if you love or hate the man, there's no denying that it was purely due to his relentless drive for success that made United's dominance for 2 decades. Now, 14 years after his retirement, we are seeing why Sir Alex is considered the greatest British manager in living memory? Looking at Pep now reminds me so much Sir Alex, on how to stay consistent and achieve success year after year?
Pep nothing near Sir Alex
Tactically speaking, Ferguson always build partnership of 2 players or more on the field. You may see it but rarely understand it. Beckham - Gary Neville are a right side overlap combination. Its Gary job to make sure Beckham always have room for crosses. Scholes-Carrick also a solid partnership example. Carrick is the one who protects Scholes so he can rule the game freely. Cole and Yorke is telepathic duo. Scholes and Keane combo is unbeaten against any 4-4-2. Scholes-Cantona, Rio-Vidic, Nistelrooy-Beckham, Nistelrooy-Scholes, and finally trio Cristiano-Rooney-Teves can secure 2nd Champions League medal for him. Thats why he can always survive when a player leave, even Superstar player. because he still maintain other partnership combination setup on the field to make sure the team doesnt lose identity. thats why Ferguson doesnt have tactic named after him. because he micromanaging his team tactic.
"we knew how hard he was working and eventually we knew he would turn it around" if INEOS only have that the believe in ten hag that this guy had when he said this about fergie
One of one can't replicate or replace him
His recruitment was fantastic. They always got the right players with right attitude.
how fast time flies
I love how football fans are realizing that though pep may have the numbers, but he simply isn't in the list of top 3 managers of all time 🔥
Why so many hate in the comments?
Cant those haters just appreciate SAF’s success?
A great manager no doubt about truly outstanding but you have to wonder what would have happened if it wasn't for Hillsborough. Kenny was a great man manager as well. In his short stint as manager in Liverpool he did great l things (both times) and what he fid in that season at Blackburn. Its a shame we didnt get Ferguson vs Dalglish going toe to toe for two decades.
Why he was on top is because he changed staff, players everything, he was magic no one could to what he did, him and carlo are the best managers of my generation
greatest ever and will be. Thank you sir alex ferguson.
Definitely a bait title and I'm glad it hooked me in. Cracking video
Took years to build a successful team. These days they sack managers too quickly.
Yeah, but That Liverpool manager needs time, isn't it?
Facts!!
He won 13 titles with 5 different teams. Fergie was the master of building teams.
He was a macro scale manager - he organised teams and picked the squad to implement a game plan
Current managers are more micro focused - telling every individual their exact role within the system to blend it all together
What a rivalry Arsene Wenger vs Alex Ferguson.
Arsenal fan here. I always hated him for sporting reasons. But undoubtedly he is the best manager of all time. He did everything from scratch and dominant across 4 decades against all sort of ideology change the game has witnessed. There will be none like him.
Guardiola is great, but cannot pitch him above SAF
As Liverpool fan, he proved his genius when he predicted Villa will surely make an impressive mark last season and make headlines right from start of the season. Even my family laughed and some Man U fans criticized his prediction....but in the end, he was absolutely right. He showed everyone how to read teams and not by results.
shame on your family....
the Legend of the game
Played at Dunfermline for three years and was a goal machine, not by skill but by being in the right place at the right time to score goals. Shame he was dropped for the 65 cup final
creating a homey high-confidence club environment is the key ,where Gary Neville perceives himself to be Cafu, & somehow he becomes Cafu
Tactics were not as complicated as what they are now. Only very few oppositions bothered Sir Alex enough to adjust his game plan to match the opponent. What he did best was motivate the players to play at their peak in every game consistently.
I can't stress how important that one last season was, he wanted Bale to push for the Champions League one last Time but the Glazers refused so he decided he would retire at the end of the Season. Alex Ferguson needed to rebuild the Team one last time before retiring.
Not quite right. Ferguson's wife's twin sister died and Ferguson could see for the first time in his career that his wife needed him more. So he chose to stop.
It is in his autobiography
The Best Sports Pshycologist the world has ever seen
They dont make them like that any more. The Greatest
