Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson – one of the most successful managers in footballing history, SAF has had 20 years at the top, and what contrasting times they have been – turning the team around in the late 80s before launching an assault on the new Premiership that has led Manchester United to 9 league titles (so far).
Ferguson should be remembered for the collective style his teams employ, attacking and defending in droves and staying disciplined without sacrificing creativity. He will also be remembered for his bustups with some of his best players – it’s a heavy price to pay for greatness, but it’s a price any Manchester United fan would pay.
You can catch a selection of Sir Alex Ferguson’s most famous quotes on the SAF page on Red Rants – the best Manchester United blog around.
Manchester United Fans vs Alex Ferguson
Soccerlens reader Dennis Wang from Down Under thinks that Manchester United fans are too quick to blame Sir Alex Ferguson… So much emphasis has been laid upon Sir Alex Ferguson’s short comings in the past few years and yes, we might not be the dominant force as we used to be (yet), however to jump…
Manchester United – Should Ferguson Go?
Since the game against Charlton (when Ruud was told to fk off), I’ve been in two minds about Sir Alex Ferguson. On one hand, he is the best manager (judging his record, at least) that Manchester United have ever seen. On the other hand, every man and club need a fresh start, and Manchester United…
Everyone Wants To Kick Manchester United
I’ve had enough of ignoramus critics, journalist hacks and piss-minded football fans taking potshots at Manchester United.
The Divorce of Manchester United and Ruud van Nistelrooy
Breakups are never pretty. No matter how dream-like the early years have been, there is always the inevitable fallout and backbiting that goes on after the relationship is over. For Manchester United fans who have defended Ruud van Nistelrooy’s abilities as a world-class striker for so many years, to see him leave like this with…
Manchester United Turn Tables On Ruud
Update: Ruud returns to Manchester United for training. May 7th seems such a long time away – Ruud van Nistelrooy was thrown out of the team hotel for showing ‘dissent’ at being benched in place of Rossi (read the story here), and scores of Manchester United fans wondering what had gone wrong with Ferguson. As…
Arsenal vs Manchester United, Arsene Wenger vs Alex Ferguson
This is not an attempt to start ‘another’ pointless argument between Arsenal and Manchester United fans. I have two goals here: One, to understand (through the knowledge of fans of both clubs) what happened in specific incidents between Manchester United and Arsenal in the recent past. Two, I’m hoping that knowing more about the incidents…
Should Alex Ferguson Leave Manchester United?
In one of my recent articles, I made a plea to Manchester United fans to stop panicking and to wait till Ferguson gets back to Old Trafford next week. The feedback I got from that article, and from this second article as well (not to mention the comments I’ve been reading and hearing for the…
Manchester United Woes (Ronaldo, Ruud, Ferguson)
We’ve had a terrible season – Keano was booted, Nistelrooy was sidelined, we crashed out of the Champions League bottom of our group, we lost to Liverpool in the FA Cup, Rooney got injured, stuttered in the last sprint to the title race and ended up second, and now, after more than a month of…
Manchester United in Transfer Wilderness
Yet another club strengthen their squad… (Bellamy joins Liverpool) Admittedly, Liverpool have suffered, selling one striker and losing another to a terrible injury, but the sight of 3 out of the top 4 (4 out of top 5 if you count Berbatov’s move to Spurs) improving their squads and adding young talent makes you more…
