Alex Ferguson..... Greatest Manager of all time

he must be the best , he has dominated english football and left hsi mark in europe .. maurinho may challenge him later on

i actually have great respect for man u fans who i know who stuck with them through all those hard times

The Greatest Manager ever bar none. One of his greatest achievements which is forgotten because of all the glory with United was winning the Eurpoean Cup Winners Cup in 1983 with Aberdeen. They beat Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the final. Can anyone imagine anything like that ever happening again ?

no mention for paisley?a manager for only nine years but still managed to win 21 trophys.and that includes retaining the european cup,something fergie hasn't manage to do,and still the only manager to have won it 3 times.now dont get me wrong its some achievement what ferguson has done but he's had 23 years to do it

Beat me to it

To be a great manager you must consistently do the business in the top flight

Liverpool fans idolise Shankly and rightly so.
He was the man that started the glory days at Anfield
But, as is the case with Liverpool fans on a lot of things, they are too caught up in history and emotion

Shankly got the club to the top flight but his record regarding winning trophies is hardly out of this world.

Paisley's trophy record is far superior

But Pool fans would do well to but bias aside and look at the hard facts
Alex Ferguson has done it at the top over the years

He might be a horrible man, but when the history books are written in a 100 years, it will be Fergie and not Shankly who they will look at as the best

Agree with point above, Bob Paisley is not getting near enough credit here. Had he managed for longer, no doubt he would be the greatest
