i wouldnt believe it, for the past ten years they've been saying he'll retire soon, its just headline grabbing to sell papers. as soon as you see a protege at united for the managers job then you'll know he is retiring in a few years until then he aint going anywhere.GreecePwns wrote:http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/20/manchester-united-sir-alex-ferguson-retire
2-3 more years? New York is talking to Nesta by the way for him to come for half a season. We want a championship and we want it now!

Not sure what you mean by "buy a trophy"...Sniper08 wrote:so Champions league final on saturday , i think Bayern are going to win it and hope they do , we already had one team buy a trophy this season i dont want a second.
no the same doesnt apply, a club gets taken over they sell most of the players and spend hundreds of millons on new players and in one season the club goes from middle standing to title contenders, United, Real and Barce all have great personel , youth programs, scouts and facilities in place built up over decades. they didnt just splash cash around and buy trophys in a season they spent years/decades putting in the right systems in their clubs so that when times go bad they can recover.maxfaraday wrote:

Whoever bought City just wanted to advertise themselves and make an investment, but it seems to me that Abrahamovic actually likes Football.
So if you're talking about financial power, the same applies to every top european teams (United, Real, Barca...).
It's a business now.. no longer a game!Sniper08 wrote:just saw on sky news that kenny got sacked as liverpool manager, what has become of football if an icon like kenny can be sacked at a club he helped make great.
I never said I thought you were done,only that I really hoped so,I know its unlikely but I can hope?Also every team in my time,and I've been going to matches since 1961,has bought the title to some extent,in fact United much more than some others.Sniper08 wrote:chang50 wrote:I only hope this is the end of an era for Man U.
one time we dont win the title and you think we are done lmfao , ppl said we were done after we failed to win it from 04-06 seasons and we came back with a vengence and won it for the next 3 years straight with another CL title and went on to be in CL final 3 out of 4 years.
United have in place the structure to produce top teams shitty dont they just bought the title and when the money becomes less important with uefa fair play rule they will fall back as they dont have the structure in place.
when did united replace an entire squad by buying high priced players? i bet you cant name one time united arsenal or liverpool did such a thing. matt busby and Alex ferguson are two of the best managers that ever graced the game of football without either of them united wouldnt be where they are. hard work not money got us to where we are.chang50 wrote:I never said I thought you were done,only that I really hoped so,I know its unlikely but I can hope?Also every team in my time,and I've been going to matches since 1961,has bought the title to some extent,in fact United much more than some others.Sniper08 wrote:chang50 wrote:I only hope this is the end of an era for Man U.

Seriously both money and hard work wins titles. Everton work hard but they don't have the money. You need both.Sniper08 wrote:when did united replace an entire squad by buying high priced players? i bet you cant name one time united arsenal or liverpool did such a thing. matt busby and Alex ferguson are two of the best managers that ever graced the game of football without either of them united wouldnt be where they are. hard work not money got us to where we are.chang50 wrote:I never said I thought you were done,only that I really hoped so,I know its unlikely but I can hope?Also every team in my time,and I've been going to matches since 1961,has bought the title to some extent,in fact United much more than some others.Sniper08 wrote:chang50 wrote:I only hope this is the end of an era for Man U.

yeah but not a rediclous amount of money city and chelsea have. United dont spend big that often last season was the exceptoin wher we spend 55 mil on a new keeper and ashley young(no lived up to the pricetag) but most season we dont spend that much. The money we got for ronaldo wasnt spent it was used to get the debt the club has down. we badly need investment in the team that has been lacking for years. Fergie hasnt made the right buys imo.Sniper08 wrote:Seriously both money and hard work wins titles. Everton work hard but they don't have the money. You need both.Nola_Lifer wrote:

It's only a matter of degree,where do you draw the line for what is excessive spending?If City and Chelsea are first and second Man U are probably third,meaning they are very near the top of teams who have bought the title..Sniper08 wrote:when did united replace an entire squad by buying high priced players? i bet you cant name one time united arsenal or liverpool did such a thing. matt busby and Alex ferguson are two of the best managers that ever graced the game of football without either of them united wouldnt be where they are. hard work not money got us to where we are.chang50 wrote:I never said I thought you were done,only that I really hoped so,I know its unlikely but I can hope?Also every team in my time,and I've been going to matches since 1961,has bought the title to some extent,in fact United much more than some others.Sniper08 wrote:chang50 wrote:I only hope this is the end of an era for Man U.

there is a difference between spending and over-spending, replacing more than 75% of a squad with high priced players means buying the title.chang50 wrote:It's only a matter of degree,where do you draw the line for what is excessive spending?If City and Chelsea are first and second Man U are probably third,meaning they are very near the top of teams who have bought the title..Sniper08 wrote:when did united replace an entire squad by buying high priced players? i bet you cant name one time united arsenal or liverpool did such a thing. matt busby and Alex ferguson are two of the best managers that ever graced the game of football without either of them united wouldnt be where they are. hard work not money got us to where we are.chang50 wrote:I never said I thought you were done,only that I really hoped so,I know its unlikely but I can hope?Also every team in my time,and I've been going to matches since 1961,has bought the title to some extent,in fact United much more than some others.Sniper08 wrote:chang50 wrote:I only hope this is the end of an era for Man U.

about chelsea sitting back and defending to win titles instead of attacking, idk it sounded like a rant when i read it i guess he was pissed bayern lostLord+Master wrote:
