SIR ALEX FERGUSON REVEALS HIS BIGGEST MISTAKE AT MAN UTD The Scot believes his decision to announce his retirement at the start of the 2001-02 season had a major impact on the mentality of his staff and players Sir Alex Ferguson admits one of his biggest mistakes at Manchester United was revealing that he would retire in 2002 before the season had finished. The Scot subsequently reversed his decision to call time on his reign at Old Trafford but eventually retired in 2013 having won 38 trophies with the club. “It's important to listen to your staff. In 2005, that period we didn't win anything, just before that I had an attempted retirement, and I think that affected everyone,” Ferguson told ESPN. “It was a mistake, and my wife and my three sons changed my attitude towards it and I started to think. “The biggest mistake I made was announcing it at the start of the [2001-02] season, and I think a lot of them had put their tools away; they thought, 'Oh, the manager's leaving,' but when I changed my mind in the January, I started thinking about United again and how we could get back on top. “After that is when [Wayne] Rooney and [Cristiano] Ronaldo came to the club and we had to regenerate everyone. The youth side of it, the scouts; we'd gone to sleep. Strangely enough, the period from there on has been glorious; it's been fantastic with the numbers of league titles we won. “The moments you don't win anything register very strongly with Manchester United.” http://m.goal.com/s/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2015/10/15/16334552/sir-alex-ferguson-reveals-his-biggest-mistake-at-man-utd?utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2F Possibly the same reason we went low after he departed. It was hard to come to terms with reality. We will need 'new Ronaldo' and 'new Rooney' to take us back to top. Martial might be one already. Can Memphis be the second? |

Is it after only 8 games of a 38 game season that you in your "infinite daftness" sense it is the right time to term a 21 year old in his 1st season in a very demanding league a flop? And who told you he was not also bought for commercial reasons as well as for footballing reasons too! Did depay not arrive at united as a "league champion and a rising dutch star?" Or you think man united gives out the loot they make from his shirt sales to charity? Or are not aware of the profits his shirt sales can generate for the club as well as further raising the clubs profile in holland? And what the _fuck does the fan of a team that has not won a league title in 11 bloody years know about being "partially successful" on any given front?

coogar: The only people that would rate Lampard over Scholes are the shekpe vermins. I didn't even bother with the argument. It's like saying Lampard is better than Xavi club-wise coz of his goals. Any day Lampard is compared with Scholes amongst neutral fans and ex-footballers worldwide, Scholesy Baba will wipe the floor with Lamp's name!! If midfield generals like Xavi, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Edgar Davids and co, could pick the Ginger Fella, who the fúck cares about Shekpe vermins' opinions? Imagine one of them saying coz Scholes is a football pundit and has column in a newspaper, he sought the limelight. Maybe he expected Scholes to get holed up in his room playing PS4 all the days of his remaining life before he'll agree Scholes never sought the limelight. Illiteracy is a disease!!

sinizia: Since that is directed at me...let us address this straight. 1. Are the opinions of Xavi/Zidane worth more than the Ballon D'or? 2. For someone who we are told who never 'seeks the limelight', isn't a career as a TV Pundit and Newspaper columnist very much a Career in the limelight?

![]() Jose Mourinho has been given a suspended one-match stadium ban and fined £50,000 by the F.A. The charge comes after the Chelshite manager admitted a breach of FA rules in relation to post-match media comments. MOAN-rinho was charged for misconduct following the Southampton game at Stamford Bridge on October 3rd....Sky sports. Its always nice to see that the plonkers senseless rants are always punished by the authorities similar to the way we tend to punish the putrid musings of his fellow shekpite loving zombies on this thread! |

Your fellow scummie kept shouting he is selling shirts, even though he mentioned why he was bought initially.... The emphasis on selling shirts made me question him again on where he thinks the club stood..... Where did i state he wasnt bought for commercial or footballing reasons? Fu..cking moro....n! Next time read and relate well and stop blowing your stupi...dity out of proportion! And yes, on success fronts, in recent times, we have been more successful ....

Nihilist: Scholes played in a stadium with over 70K fans, with many cameras on him. How much more few cameras on him in football studio? I'm an introvert doesn't mean I can't stand in front of a camera. I've stood in front of cameras to make speeches, it doesn't stop me from being an introvert or extremely secluded type while growing up. Anyway, I'm not here to argue this over-flogged issue.

BossKratos: I've only ever argued who the better player was once in this thread and that didn't even happen this year. Of course I think Lampard is by far the better player. Let's not forget that in his last season for Chelsea, he played in the pivot and still finished as our highest goal scorer(That's for The claims that Lampard should be expected to score because he played in an advanced position) HOWEVER, my discussion with Coogar was based on his dubious claims that he could prove that Scholes was the better using stats. Hence our debate was not about who the better player was, but rather the METHOD used to come to this conclusion- an argument that only Coogar and I seemed to understand. The 'limelight' statement is interesting because of the tense used to describe the situation. Coogar described Scholes as someone who continues to shun public attention...a description which is clearly at odds with Mr Scholes chosen career. If we however choose to limit the period covered by the 'limelight' statement to just Scholes playing career, it is absolutely correct... But it then begs another question, what limelight was Lampard courting when he was voted the second best player in the world? Answer on a postcard please.... 2 Likes |

ElFenomeno1: you paid £42m for ozil & he never made any money for you on shirts. we paid peanuts for depay & he's the highest shirt seller in england. let that settle in your brain for a while, you ignorant twerp!
why do you have the uncanny ability to be ridiculously silly? who is buying depay's shirts if the united fans are not satisfied with his performance? na gaynners dey buy am or arsene wenger's mistress?
we are talking about satisfaction, you fool? if the fans are satisfied, shirts would be bought. depay has scored 4 goals for united this season.....how many arsenal players have scored 4 goals this season, you stinking swine?
who is depay replacing? ronaldo that left 6 years ago or valencia that dropped the shirt? elfeminine, it's fair to say you are on your menstrual cycle again & you cannot afford sanitary towels to stop the flow. you have become the man with the issue of blood, fück outta here!
you are a disgrace to homo sapiens. we won the premier league barely 2 years ago. we have not been successful? when was the last time arsenal won the prem? bin laden & saddam were still eating suya together the last time arsenal won the league. seun hasn't even created NL the last time you won the league. when it comes to record breaking barrenness, no club does it better than arsenal.
you are a brainless buffalo. depay has scored 4 goals for his club, hazard has none. how then can you compare him to hazard in terms of performance? did a female herbalist hit your head with her sullied panties? christ - how the fück did you survive infancy with this level of idïocy?
i said if arsenal manage to buy benzema, they would have the best squad but you didn't do the needful......and that was why you have suffered a disgraceful home loss against minnows from east london in your first home game of the season. elfeminine, you are a disgrace. if it's possible to have you killed, i would be observing a massive thanksgiving in church. no sane human being has as much as stupidity enclosed in one body like you do. i would be writing to the MP in your district to have you manually castrated before you sire kids that would have your idiotic genes. |

And not by how many miles he ran in a league match or how many assists he gave in a standout season?

Only you and maybe a handful of shameless others, right? Majority of United fans who bought shirts did so before Depay's terrible run kicked off....

BossKratos: How is that NOT an achievement? Have you ever been adjudged the second best in the world at your chosen profession? Anyway, you guys need to pay attention to a discussion or dont quote me at all. Coogar quoted Xavi et al to prop up his argument. I used his Balon D'or award to counter that. Simple Dude I saw the stats thingy between you and cougar and if you remember I told you I was not going to get into all that further math you guys were on about because "stats don't make the player rather the player makes the stats"! When I rate players I rate them based on their abilities, standing in the game, achievements, respect from peers and things that actually HAVE TO DO WITH THE GAME OF FOOTBALL!

I can see your fingers heading towards your "z key" for your answer! This is completely irrelevant to the discourse. If you cant stay on track, then don't bother quoting me. As previously mentioned. neither of the belligerents involved in the discussion were arguing who the better player was. In fact, if you go through my post history during the debate, not once do I claim that Lampard is the better player.... Lampard scored more goals and copped more assists than Xavi. But You wont see a Barca fan trying to use stats to prove that Xavi was the better midfielder. And that was the point of the entire discussion. |

Nihilist: you are a disgrace to everything that sucks oxygen for even attempting to lie that statistics haven't proven scholes is the better player. on open play goals scored.....scholes was the better player. lampard scored a whooping 42 penalty kicks in the premier league. scholes scored only one for united. ratio 42:1 tells me lampard's stats are padded up with awoof penalties. if we include city's games, lampard scored 176 goals in 48,868 mins in the premier league. however, 42 of them goals were from the spot. so lampard scored 134 goals(excluding penalties) 134 goals in 48,868 mins(lampard) scholes scored 107PL goals of which only one was a penalty. 106 goals in 36,086 mins(scholes) it took lampard 364 mins to score a goal. it took scholes 340 mins to score a goal. scholes>>>>>>>>>>>>lampard |
