Fixed the title for you mate

No lets not limit it to one supposed thing. He seems to come up quite a bit here.

@Gman can you discuss it here.

I don’t think there was a spate of injures, I could be wrong on that but Ferguson opted to play Carrick and Giggs in midfield and it worked. Once or twice he put Rafael in there and it didn’t, that was a mistake. United won the league with those two in midfield and Scholes coming out of retirement.

Yes, they won the league. They won the treble playing Wes Brown.

I’m not sure why I am letting myself get sucked into this!

Move your inane ramblings here for the sake of those that wish to discuss Mourinho and not this particular topic.

Are you questioning why Ferguson chose to play the vastly experienced Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes in midfield pushing for a title ahead of a youth team graduate then I don’t really know what to say to you. And don’t forget that Ferguson claimed that United were aware that Pogba has agreed to sign for Juventus a long time before it was announced in June 2012. Why would he play a player that was leaving the club no matter what happened.

No one could accurately predict that Pogba would become the star he did as quick as he did. He did and those are the break when you stick to you guns. He did the same with Morrison and was vindicated on that.

Ah ya win some, you loose some. :slight_smile:

Lose - not win.

Loose - not tight.

Pussy.

I’m not a fan of banging my head against the wall.

Juventus and all their players predicted it instantly.

Mixed on the whole. Didn’t set the world alight at East Stirlingshire, sacked by St Mirren. Did better with Aberdeen and Man U. His spell at the helm with Scotland was a disappointment though at the 1986 World Cup.

  • Ferguson fucked up letting Pogba go
  • Ferguson didn’t fuck up letting Pogba go

I voted no but the issue isn’t as black and white and you’re hoping to make out, as I’ve outlined previous.

Where have you pointed this out, pal?

On the Internet buddy.

Despite being with the wealthiest club in the country his penny pinching really annoyed me and I was delighted to see him miss out on the likes of Essien, Robben and Ronaldinho due to it.

His record in Europe doesn’t stack up all that well to his contemporaries of last 25 years or so. United were often knocke out by some bang average teams let alone comparing him to the likes of Clough or Paisley
