Beat Ferguson head to head. Won the same number of CL in 2 different clubs in a shorter time
And how ,any did he win throughout his career? Did he win more than that 2 during his club coaching career?

We are talking about 26 years and not few years. 26 GOOD YEARS

He was poor in Europe, simple!
I`m not disputing the years. The fewi years i`m refering to are the years he qualified for the final where the team was beaten by Barca.

Whether he`s at one club or not is even irrelevant to me.

You know the answer to that question. Who besides Mou would do that in Chelsea?
So, it`s only Mourinho that could do that.

What about a Rookie Pep doing same in his first season with him not getting sacked?

Look up, a member already answered the question regarding longevity of a coach in a team.

No one said its easy but its a poor result for Fergie. Accept that fact, two ucl in 25 years..

He is a local champion.

FACT!!
Local champion! And he qualified the team to UCL final three times in how many years only to be beaten twice. by a Barca team that has been described as the best team of the past few years. A team that hasn`t lost any UCL final in the past 10/11 years.

A local champion will never even take a team beyond the group stages.

Ain't one Big Boy enough to influence the dressing room.. Totti to Roma as Gerrard is to Liverpool. You have issues with them then its trouble.
Why wasn`t Mourinho sacked when he allowed Lampard to go? Or is it that Lampard wasn`t a big boy at Chelsea?

Nothing was explained. There is absolute no explantation for a coach to win just 2 UCL in 25 years with same team.

Fergie was a local champion.
That is the hard core fact
You know nothing about football management.

You think it`s really easy for a coach to be at a mid or lower table club for even ten years not to talk of being at a top club for that period.

Mention any club in europe top teams that has the same coach for at least ten years except Arsenal.

It is even a credit to him to have stayed for that long and won those trophies he won.

He was benching Totti and that influenced the dressing room which resulted to losses. Why did Pep sell all the big boys first when he got to Barca?
Why did Mou let Raul and Guti leave when he got to Madrid? They all know what the possible outcome would be if they were in their teams
Lol! I thought you said big BOYS. It is now big BOY Totti.

Even at that, Pep also sold some big boys and at the same time got results. Why didn`t Enrique get results despite having issue with only one big boy? There should be other young players that should be taking positions.

I never said they are better than fergie. I sad he was helped a times without number through officiating domestically which in turn makes him a local champion
Why then were you calling him an average coach and also comparing his numbers of UCL with what Pep won and would`ve won with Barca?

You`ve not been able to substanciate your claim that refs helped him with favourable officiating.

You need to get your facts right before making such assertions.

If Ferguson had coached Barcelona, Real Madrid, he would have won nothing less than 6 UCL with the spending power of these clubs in luring the world best stars over the years. Same with AC Milan and Juventus.

If United spent even spent nearly what other big European clubs spent, SAF would have won at least 6 UCL.

If Rafael was not prematurely sent off in 2010 we had a team that was going to conquer Europe again.

Between 2008 and 2011 SAF played 3 UCL finals in four years and Barca with their great team stood between SAF and the cup. No team could beat Barca in the final. Our chance could have been in 2010 but two soft red cards to Rafael prevented us.


SAF also won in Europe with Aberdeen.


The guy no know anything footie. Maybe na new footie kid on thd block.

If Fergie had been changing clubs the way Mourinho had been, he would`ve won so many. If he had joined sugar daddies City or Chelsea when he was approached. there is possiblity that he would`ve won it with them because he will have massive money to buy his choice players.

Was fergie a utd coach for one season?
It shows that you have lost this argument for you to have asked this question. From refrees aid SAF to win the league title to Man Utd winning the highest number of penalties during his era to Fergie winning only 2 UCL during his reign now to was Fergie a UTD coach for one season.

What team did he coach before leaving for Barca? He shld win a league with Celta vigo? or he shld win it Roma when they just started a rebuilding process. If it's that easy. Tata wouldn't have gone trophyless. Tito (RIP ) would have won more trophies or prolly the ucl too.
If he`s better than SAF as you`ve said, then he should`ve won the league with those teams. At least SAF took a lowly rated Aberdeen and Man Utd from nowhere to win both local and european trophies.

Tito would also have won it if not for his health issues.

Answer the damn question, mention one coach in the world that has more trophies than the "average" coach, if you can't or there's none then the rest coaches are below average, which means average is the highest rank

Lol, no coach has ever won ucl the way Enrique won it. He defeated all champions of every league en route to the final and still defeated another champ there. That s what made it special.

Fergie was an average coach hence having just 2 ucl in 25 years. Very very poor record.
That`s to tell you how easy it is to win UCL with Barca.

Why didn`t he even win the league before he became barca manager?

If Giggs becomes present Barca coach today, there is a guaranttee that he`ll win the UCL with them within two years. That doesn`t say how good he is as a cpach.

The course of discussion is a team management by a coach. If pep was still barca's coach, Enrique wouldn't be there and most likely pep would have still won the ucl. Regarding if pep would have won it if it wasn't barca, I dnt know but he did it with barca and that was a team who went trophyless back to back. He also sold most starting players.

Agree, Mr Tomato face was an average coach
You wouldn`t. And what was Enrique`s pedigree in football coaching before becoming Barca`s coach? Why was it so easy for him to also win the UCL in his first season?

If UCL is so easy for Pep to win, he should`ve won it with Bayern. This is his third season.

Bring out the stats where it's shown Chelsea won most pens during fergie's tenure.
Where did i mention Chelsea winning the most penaties in a season?

However, i know that Chelsea topped the penalties table in SAF`s last season which was 2012/13 season.

Chelsea won 11 while Man Utd won 6 and Chelsea topped the table.

You are diverting the discussion. The content is if they had stayed in their clubs respectively. Pep would have won another ucl if he was still a barca coach. Agree or not?

Ancelotti would most likely still win with Madrid. Right or wrong?


Same thing will Jupp of Bayern.

But its the other way round with Mr Tomato face utd. He was even schooled in EL home and away when he got kicked out of ucl in the early stages. Europe stats never favoured him cos the officials weren't giving him those pens he got in EPL.

He was an average coach
Who is diverting?

If Pep would have won it if he had stayed back at Barca with his football magic wand, why hasn`t he won it with thesame football magic wand with the same Bayern that disgraced Barca 7- 0 agg in UCL before he took over. At least that same bayern was a good team.

And how many years did it take Pep to win UCL with Barca after being promoted from the youth team? Would he have won the title in his first season if the team wasn`t Barca?

Bring out the stats where it`s shown that Man Utd under SAF was the team that won most penalties in the league.

Pep won ucl twice in 4 years disgracing fergie's team in the finals l, he wld have won the third if he had stayed longer. Jupp wld have won another ucl if he had stayed longer. Ancelotti would most likely win another if he wasn't sacked.
Would have, most likely

Why hasn`t he won it at Bayern since he would`ve won it if he had stayed?

Why did the same Madrid that he used to disgrace in La liga with Barca disgraced him 5 - 0 as Bayern`s coach? Madrid even went as far a beating his Bayern 4 - 0 in Munich, what Madrid couldn`t to his Barca team when he was the coach.

Hw many years have they spent in their respective clubs??
You said SAF should`ve won at least 6 UCL in his 25yrs at Man Utd. That is winning it in every four years. Mourinho is in his 6th season at Chelsea and he`s not even close to winning the trophy for Chelsea. Whereas, a coach that was not even close to Mourinho and Ancelotti`s pedigree won it for Chelsea in his first half season at Chelsea.

We have another creative outlet in Young but i don`t know the reason why he`s hell bent in converting him into a fullback. Young on the left offers the team creativity, assist and goals. Di Maria left because of him but now he`s not using him properly. Young should be starting ahead of Memphis until there`s an improvement in his game.

Apart from LVG`s philosophy, his choice of personnel and subs can give someone heart attack.

At a point yesterday, i was praying PSV don`t score when the pressure was so much that no one was able to tame those player`s crisp passes. And that was because they fancied their chances.

chrisley024:
Don't think Fellaini for Bastian was wrong since Bastian was hanging unto the ball. This is where Carrick is better, though slow but more creative with his passes.

I'm even surprised we are complaining of lack of goals when we're using 2 DM and expecting them to be creative.
And the midfield collapsed totally when he was subbed.

Schweini was holding on to the ball because there was no sharp/fast movement from those three behind the striker to create space. He should have first brought on Young for Memphis and see if things would improve before thinking it`s actually Schweini`s problem.

They loss a lot of the balls after that sub. I just pray Herrera is available when we go to Germany.

@elampiro I don`t really know the circumstances in which he came in in those matches but when that subs was about to be made i knew it was a wrong move because Fellaini cannot play in that midfield the way Schweini will. Fellaini isn`t as mobile as Schweini and and he`s only good at shot passes and slower.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 8:23am On Nov 26, 2015
elampiro:

Fellaini was the one who could have made the difference. Before last night, every time he came on for Schweinsteiger he improved on midfield. He brought more energy, better ball retention, ball holding and more mobility, but last night everything died on his feet. He couldn't tackle, couldn't control the ball, couldn't hold the ball, couldn't pass.

When a player sent in to lift the spirit becomes so poor, then nothing good was going to come out.


Bringing in Fellaini for Schweini was a wrong move. Fellaini cannot control the midfield as Schweini. The midfield collapsed after that sub.

He brought in Young which brought life to that LWF. He later sub Darmian and moved young who was lively on the LWF to the RB which also killed any chance of creating something from LWF. He disorganized the whole system with his subs and rearrangement.

There were times when Fellaini was caught between going forward and staying in the midfield. He`ll head when he`s supposed to chest the ball.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 10:43pm On Nov 25, 2015
That was a stupid sub by LVG as usual. Substituting ur most mobile midfielder for a Fellaini is the most dumb thing to do as a coach.

A coach playing patient football not patient enough and changing to route one.

He has put this team in a difficult situation now. Is this the kind if football we are going to play in Germany? We shall see.
