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.
Arsene Wenger Is A Liar And A Gentleman
Reacting to the recent furore surrounding Wayne Rooney‘s phantom ankle injury, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted to a recurring personality trait that many have vehemently accused him of since the very first sepia-toned time he claimed to have missed clogger Martin Keown ‘reducing’ a flighty striker or midfield general Patrick Vieira gobbing in a…
Fergie Time: Did you know Liverpool had a football match this weekend?
Welcome to Fergie Time, a new roundup/newsletter type deal that delivers news, opinion and links directly to your screen, plus made-up quotes, knee-jerk reactions and awards that don’t really exist. As the name suggests, there will be some exaggeration, nsfw moments, canceled press conferences (oh, who are we kidding) and late, late, late scoring of…
The FA Will Severely Limit Their Options By ‘Going English’ To Find Capello’s Successor
With just 22 short months left on the meter, the Football Association (FA) are already pressing ahead with the courting of possible successors to current England manager Fabio Capello – who has signalled his intentions to retire from the game once his contract expires in July of 2012. Though much of the fault can be…
How Wayne Rooney Shed £12m In One Easy Step
Given his recent extra-marital misdemeanours, it should come as little surprise that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney‘s intrinsic commercial value has – if you’ll excuse the unavoidable pun – waned of late. His recurring inability to regulate which orifices he crams his junk into has already cost Rooney one of his high-profile sponsors, after Coca-Cola…
Michael Owen is responsible for his non-selection at club and country
0-0 at La Mestalla stadium and Sir Alex Ferguson, late in the second half, looks to his bench. He needs a goal badly and he knows it. Manchester United threw two points away at Old Trafford a few weeks earlier against Rangers and needed to atone. A draw would heap pressure onto the three-time Champions…
Why ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez Is Destined For Greatness At Man Utd
When Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson ‘shelled out’ (if you’ll excuse the pun) the best part of £7 million for a promising – but relatively unknown – then-21-year-old Chivas Guadalajara striker back in July, the jury was out and the uneducated were left to question whether the veteran Scot had been at the Châteauneuf-du-Pape…
Man Utd Pip Valencia At The Death, But How Did They Rate?
Manchester United left it late to snatch the maiden victory of their fledgling Champions League campaign last night, eventually emerging from the decrepit Mestalla stadium with all three barely-deserved points after seeing off Spanish pace-setters Valencia by a single goal. Mexican striker Javier Hernandez came off the bench to wrap up the win for United…
Is Wayne Rooney Really Finished?
For better or worse, the planets seem to be fatefully aligning at Manchester United of late – at least in terms of their striking options. The dismal trough of slurry in which Wayne Rooney currently finds himself knee-deep would certainly be a much more pressing issue in United circles were it not for the perceived…
Would A Change In System Bring A Change In Results For Manchester United?
Once more, it’s a tale of Manchester United shooting themselves in the foot. Such talent oozing from the walls of Old Trafford, but thus far this season, United have failed to produce the desired results on the road. United are uncharacteristically chucking goals (and points) left and right and that worrying trend shows no sign of…
Inter Milan Star Wesley Sneijder: ‘I Could Never Refuse Man Utd’
Inter Milan playmaker, and dirty flirt in chief, Wesley Sneijder has once again flitted his eyebrows longingly in the direction of Old Trafford by admitting that he would find the offer of moving to Manchester United at some point in the future too enticing to turn down. The Dutch star has been quoted in this…
