But respect does not go hand in hand with liking somone!
I would say that schmoo has understood the point of this thread, whereas Scottishbloke seems to have misunderstood the point of the thread. Alex Ferguson's achievements are not of any relevance here.
Sounds like something Fergie would do
thats why I voted I hate Alex Ferguson
lastic Man Utd fans"-I strongly dislike .

Yeah once again this always get's mentioned. Utd's plastic fans, like It's only Manchester Utd who have this. All the massive clubs have this. Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus and now Chelsea and City. It's used against Utd as a weapon because other fans are jealous. Simple as that

Jealous of what exactly ,fake people ?

Jealous of Utd so attack the fans. Liverpool also has a load of non-local fans as do all the big clubs. Do you think the same about them?

When I refer to "plastic fans" I'm talking about people who purport to support a club but have never ever been to see "their team" in their lives yet refer to them as "we " and "us".The fans who travel around the country following their respective teams have my uptmost respect 'cos they are the real fans .The ones who turn up win ,lose or draw .Not some smug cunt who just latches on to a club 'cos they are succesful and make them think they look good even though they have no "physical" connection .
Fergie's only a pantomime villain .
The real enemy is the media who make millions out of the plastic fans of Man Utd .
For a definition of plastic fans ,see my previous post .Assuming it hasn't melted !

Because i agree with what The Truth says in that he does have too much sway, does berate officials ridiculously and has done over so long, and this together with being successful, is why officials/FA dare not cross him (as such).
Only blinkered Man U "fans" don't see this, or do, but refuse to admit it.
And although he has surpassed Liverpool's 18 league titles, what he really wants is to surpass their 5 European Cups (and in turn own their own cup). Only then, will he /Man U be deemed the most successful English club.
Fortunately, this will never happen.
I've never got the owning you're own European cup after winning 5. You do realise the replicas are made of exactly the same stuff? They're both made of silver right.
I also would reckon Utd have a better chance to win another CL before Liverpool ever do. Liverpool have to qualify for the CL first of all.
If Utd wins more major trophies then would be deemed more successful. If it's based just on European cup wins then Nottingham forest were more successful then Barcelona up until 2006.
i think he mite hav a point about man utd not getting to 5 champions league trophys but if im bein honest i think theres more chance of arsenal getting to 19 league titles before liverpool and thats without wenger spending money and selling his best players!
Remember these words and heed them well .
