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.
Correct me if I am wrong, but are Manchester United on the verge of going into Christmas six points clear at the top of the Premiership?

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,...

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.
