That is actually mad considering the names there now...

Anyone who wasn't a megalomaniac would see that the end of last season, or failing that this season, is time to cut and run and retire with a great reputation in tact. He saw the very great Brian Clough carry on too long. But of course he thinks he is invincible. The players from his teams in the late nineties would have a heart attack if they had to play alongside some of these no-raters he has today.
The press call it being 'very driven'. I call it stupity, megalomania or, as Ted says, senility.

I recon, if they'd signed Tevez when they were supposed to & not held off doing a deal, thus allowing us to start talking to KJ, he'd still be there now & starring, like he was at City.
For all his cleverness, Ferguson has dropped some huge bollocks over the years & imo he (because of his war with Magner & Co) is the man responsible for the Glazers being at OT; that's why he never criticises them.
Ultimately, he may be as responsible for their downfall as he is for their success.

As has been the cause of massive arguments on here, they're shite, yet still joint top of the league (for a couple of hours). There's one reason for that - taggart. Put any other manager in charge of that lot and they'd be 6th at best.
He's been one of the all time greats and they are likely to struggle when he goes unless there is a massive cash injection on players. That's why I want us to finish above them whilst he's still in charge. Once he's gone it'll be commonplace, so these are the big ones. It's like finishing above Liverpool during Paisley/shankley instead of Souness and Hodgson.

They've never even attempted to replace Ronaldo really. They should of bought a real world class attacking talent however much it cost.

Turned it of at HT.
The racing at Cheltenham is far more entertaining.
