Before Ferguson. Manchester United were in crisis, battling relegation and even relegated 10 years before he took over.
Manchester United were like Current Nottingham Forest when Ferguson took over and I can say it was even worse that time than Forest now.
He came in, destroyed the toxic Bozzed culture, did a ruthless clear out squad and even sold his one favourite player.
The club didn’t have a lot of money that time so he revolutionised the youth academy that brought in the class of 92.
He built one of the most scariest team in the world that everyone were afraid of facing them.
He made the premier league the best league in the world. He’s the reason why premier league is like this now.
Prime Jose and Wenger came and he was still dominating.
And this is Pep who has never built a team from it struggling era,
When he took Barcelona, Barca had Valdez, Puyol, Abidal , Sylvino, Xavi, Iniesta,Toure, Messi, Etoo, Henry already. He added Pique and promoted Busquets.
At Bayern, he didn’t do anything special, at Manchester City, the club had 2 premier league titles and runner up twice, 2 EFLs, 1 fa cup and 1 runner up, and 1 community shield with 1 runner up in 5 seasons before his take over. Which is 4 major trophies in 5 seasons before his take over.
The team was top 2 best teams in the league already and they were UCL semi finalists a season before he took over.
Man City had Vincent Company, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Fernando, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Navas, Aguero, Sterling, Nicolas Otamendi, Joe Hart and other top players when he came in.
So yes City was dominating already and needed someone that will lock everything up well and yes that’s Pep who can do that in that era.
When he came in, his competitor were Klopp, and later Arteta who’re nowhere near Prime Wenger Arsenal, Liverpool and Jose’s Chelsea.
I’m yet to mention what Ferguson did at Aberdeen as well, Never ever mention the two in the same sentence again!!!
It’s been 12 hours since Arsenal won the league and no premier league club has congratulated them, you can’t rob every club in the league like this and expect a nice gesture in return.
Enjoy the PGMOL title😂
🗣️🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Tomas Souček is speaking out!
"It's a BIG error by VAR! I don't see any foul. Every game Arsenal does so many blocks... so many small fouls.... and now suddenly they need the title and they get it. For football this is very disappointing. Even for Arsenal fans this is not what we want."

This angle...WOW
PABLO IS BEING MANHANDLED BY TWO ARSENAL PLAYERS AND LITERALLY LOSES BALANCE BECAUSE OF THIS

IT'S AN ABSOLUTE FARCE I WONT GET OVER
🚨 Mike Dean on VAR inconsistency in Premier League decisions:
🗣️ “Look, I’ve been in that situation as a referee in the Premier League, and what confuses people is the lack of consistency.
In the Manchester United F.C. incident earlier in the season, a very similar challenge on the goalkeeper wasn’t overturned. VAR looked at it, and nothing changed.
But then you see the situation involving Callum Wilson against Arsenal F.C. and suddenly it’s a foul, goal disallowed.
That’s the problem same type of contact, different outcomes.
From a referee’s point of view, you want clarity, not confusion. Because once players and managers stop trusting the consistency, every decision becomes a debate.
And honestly, in games like this, you can feel the pressure on VAR officials sometimes they overthink it instead of sticking to the original decision on the pitch.
That’s where frustration builds, because fans just want one thing: the same rule applied the same way every time.”
A fitting way for this Arsenal side to win the league. Blatant cheating. Story of their season. Cheating, dirty tactics, time wasting, diving and corruption
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Peter Schmeichel: "Arsenal have been blocking the opponent's goalkeeper all season long, they would NEVER be on top of the league if we disallow these goals!"

🚨🗣️ Jarrod Bowen: "When you look at the screen for five minutes you'll find something - a lot of grappling and a lot of holding. I'm sure if you look long enough you'll find something. Do I think it's the right decision? NO."
"Frustration. Where's the consistency? As a fan you don't want to celebrate a goal and then wait eight minutes and it's taken off you."
"Corners are physical. The Premier League is physical. That's why everyone loves it. You have to expect contact at corners. If you give that you have to give all the holding calls in the world and that's not the way people want the game to go down."
"I don't want to sound bitter but last week we had one with Tomas Socuek held at Brentford and we didn't get a penalty. But then you can't give one like that today." (BBC)
