People don’t know how crazy this is, they’re focusing on only the win rate, let me break it down. From 1992 to 2013, there were 21 seasons of football, and he won the league 13 out of 21 that means he lost the league only 8 times out of this he was second 5 times, and 3rd (3) times, he’s never finished outside a top 3 before. Well now we have Man U finishing 15th.
Matches played: 810
Wins: 528
Draws: 168
Losses: 114
Win percentage: 65.2%
Points: 1,752 (at 2.17 points per game)
Forget about the trophies for a minute, Just look at the longevity of excellence. Most managers just have a 3-5 year cycle or seasons they were just good and win the league, and it will be hard to replicate but not Ferguson, He rebuilt title-winning teams multiple times and still stayed ahead of the league.
He won with:
Cantona’s United
Beckham/Keane/Yorke era
Ronaldo/Rooney/Tevez era
then won again in 2013 with a team many people don’t even consider one of United’s best squads, lol he finished 11 points ahead with them
Premier League also changed massively during his reign:
from old-school English football into modern tactical football,
from 42-game seasons to 38-game seasons,
from Blackburn and Newcastle challenges to Wenger’s Arsenal, Mourinho’s Chelsea, then early oil-money City
Yet he remained he won through all of it.
he mastered every layer of football too:
man management
dressing room control
adapting generations
building winning culture
handling pressure
knowing when to rebuild
making average players become great
evolving assistants and systems around him
Fun fact: Manchester United have lost more games since Sir Alex Ferguson retired (143) than they lost during his entire 21-year Premier League era under him (114). 😂
Nah, That man is the Greatest Ever.
@cagiago_@itsPelumy Okay *inhale deep breath*
Ozil Sanchez Cazorla Odegaard Saka Nasri Van Persie Aubamayang Walcott Fabregas Wilshire Ramsey Kanu
Are all flops according to your logic
@ah_fashion_joe @dennizzer_k No mate. Im a utd fan, I would have Arsenal win the league much more than Liverpool or City 100%. At the start of the season I wanted Arsenal to win the league but my God. Comparing Saka to Messi, Raya to Nuer and countless unimaginable comparisons. WIN A TROPHY FIRST.
@cricketaakash The apology should be as loud as the disrespect mate.
A calculated victory from such young individuals should be highlighted just like you were judging and highlighting their tactics when the narrative suited you.
