Read the post very well...where did I mention that Alex Ferguson has ONLY coached Man United?
The point is clear-with the successes he's achieving at Man United(far bigger than Aberdeen), he needed not leave for vacant positions elsewhere to prove himself even though Jose Murinho won the League with Porto and also came to England to win.
He need not copy Murinho. Simple. Same way Pep need not copy Murinho!
It is more respectful if you stay and rebuild a team than leave for another club to assemble establsihed stars!
Point of correction: Sir Alex Ferguson created grade records as coach of Aberdeen bewfore signing for Man United. Aberdeen was an unknown team and hadn't won anything for decades before Ferguson got there. When he arrived he pushed the traditional leaders, Celtic and Rangers to the background and rule the league for year and also won European title for Aberdeen before joining Man United. He is a genius!

Reference:

Theoretically, there should be a craving for Plan B..
Empirically, you have a formular that has worked for you 98/100.
When it keeps working, you are praised. When it doesn't work those 2/100, it is because there is no plan B??
I will still praise him. To be intelligent enough to create a pattern of play also means you know it needs modification when it starts failing..and this is now his real test of creativity.
And again, if you have a good plan but those excuting it are failing..does it mean plan is bad?? In the last 2 matches, you have lots of strikers missing sitters. Meaning the plan was still working!
I remember when Jose Murinho lost the match against Barca early season, was he not called all sort of names that rumor has it that he was on way out? He now rose up after and now secures wins and he's now angel.
Somehow, I still have confidence in Pep and he will learn from the mistakes.

Said it quite a while ago. I seriously doubt Pep's tactical ability for two reasons. One, there is never a plan B. It is always about player power, throw players in and hope they can outposses the opposition. When the end goal doesn't come the chap is appears always lost.

This causes the second problem, the team and by extension the teamwork is increasingly built around Messi. He is taking far too much importance than an experienced manager should permit. This is strategically dangerous. We know that the powers of Andres and Xavi are on the wane due to age and injury. This does not however mean Messi should play 8, 9 and 10 at the same time. Poor coaching.

This has led to the third and obvious result, Messi is burnt. At 24 he's played far too many games at such high intensity that if Pep cannot reform the situation he might just go the way of Patrick Kluivert. Messi needs a rest, the team needs a rest. Success has its limits and penalties.

dabrake: even amodu shuaibu can do that convincingly

sholatech:

Give amodu shaibu a club that already has two former and in-form World Footballer of the year, the best goal keeper in the world, half of Jose Murinho's salary and a blank cheque to buy red hot players in the world and see if he would not win league and champions league in the first season

Seamate: Ronaldho is a deity in football. Respect him

baslone:

The first ever player in Europe's top 4 league to score 40 goals (ITA, SPA, GER, ENG) in 2 consecutive
seasons!He equalled his own record of scoring 40 goals in La liga. The first player in La Liga history
to score 20 goals away from home.

The first MAN in La Liga's history to have scored 7 hat-tricks in one season. Omo-Oro is the second
player in Spanish football's history to score +50 goals in 2 consecutive seasons.

BaBa oooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Temistatics 007: what are you saying,i hope you meant mourinho copied SAF,not SAF copying JM,even if u can't figure that out,remember,JM's PORTO WON SAF's MU,therefore,it was Jm that copied SAF not otherwise,ok?

ekeroyal: My hearts goes out to RM for making Barca smell defeat in two consecutive games. It's becoming obvious that they may find it hard lifting a trophy this season and I hope Somebody SHOUTS AMEN.

Always A GUNNER

ddippset: -the first player to scorer 5 goals in a single champions league match.
-the first player to score 14 goals in a champions league season.
-one of the first players to win 3 fifa/ ballon dor awards.
-one of the first players to be top scorer in 3 consecutive champions league campaigns.
-now with 63 he's second and 5 more goals and he'd be the highest scorer in a single european season.

who am I?

usbcable:

you are ddippset

dabrake: Madrid can only win that match if and only if
(1) c.ronaldo will not play : cr7 is virtually the spoiler of such game. This his i-am-better-than-messi attitude remains the exact reason why they appear so mediocre before fcb. The annoying thing is that messi no send am as him(LM10) go still dey play with him team. Cr7 is a camera player. Dani alves keeps halting his silly paces. Why not change your style? Cr7 will keep on trying his decrypted-passworded stepovers unlike messi. Close tackle him too much and he will withdraw to the middle . . . not till he releases that killer pass.
(2) madrid should play like a team. They should stop playing like 11 individuals. Cr7 na him dey start this thing. When him do him own, di maria go join am
(3) they shouldn't forget the 1st and 2nd rule
(4) they shouldn't go contrary to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rule

[size=16pt]Mourinho na Master

Guardiola is shit really. He has no GAME B!

This guy would relegate Chelsea if they employ him

There is no way he'll be able to cope with the English league or anywhere other than Barcelona's most ingenious midfield machine + Messi[/size]
