Pseudonym Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sir Matt Busby=Sir Alex Ferguson=Sir David Moyes? .......... Bring it on. One thing is for sure Ferguson will be in the stands and his presence will carry weight always at OT. do you think that's a good thing though? ghost over your shoulder etc. . . Busby ghost didn't do Fergie much harm,who knows it is a difficult one. that's not the same thing. busby was actually dead. much to my regret, ferguson isn't yet. Busby died in 1994 God bless him. Ferguson joined United in 1986 it took him 3 years to win a trophy and another 3 to win the league Sir Matt Busby was there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 i think if ferguson had stayed then rooney was almost certainly gone. moyes? he'll want to keep him. might not be his decision though. There is absolutely no doubt that Moyes rates Rooney and I read an article once where Moyes said Rooney helped launch is managerial career. However, he made big money out of Rooney once. I don't think he'd have a problem flogging him on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby was there every week, no fail...! I (do not) fear, the term, 'ambassador' had not been utilised in its current form, regarding football in that era.

Macclad Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 United should have got rid of Rooney three years ago when he threw his toys out of the pram and was supposed to be joining City for 50m. I doubt if they will get half that now.Rooney is 27 and should be at his peak but he's nothing like as good as when he was 18.He's overweight and cumbersome and his lifestyle has caught up with him. SAF....fantastic achievements as a manager at United and,also,at Aberdeen where he broke up the old firm monopoly and won the Cup Winners Cup by beating Real Madrid in 1983. In the last 40 years or so only Paisley,Shankly and Dalglish can begin to come close to matching his managerial record,imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is anywhere near 49 trophies yet though. Mourinho's on twenty so far, at fifty years old and after thirteen years in management. By the time SAF was fifty he had won thirteen trophies and had been a manager for seventeen years. But can Mourinho be anywhere near as successful over the next twenty one years as SAF has been over the last twenty one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
