Just a reminder, CBs don't win you titles. Chelsea will still win it.

and no, you don't have the best left back in the world, at least not anymore.

You mean this guy?


Last time I checked, he was in charge of Real. Nowadays Fergie's an old racist wanker who runs a team clearly inferior to Chelsea.

Mouriniho will be in charge of whoever pays him enough money.

He's never built a squad for long-term success but merely inherited good squads.

Cool story, I'd like to see Fergie win the champions league with Porto only 2 years after arriving. Did it with Inter as well. He doesn't just use the players he had when he arrived, he makes great signings and genuinly builds great teams within 2-3 year periods. Get a clue.

Porto won the Champions League in one of the weakest years in memory. Beating a Monaco side that should not have been there after they got lucky against Rianeri's Chelsea side the previous round.

Also, Chelsea, Inter and Real are sides with enough money so that Jose can buy whoever he wants (don't try and sell me that crap about how he didn't want Schevchenko or Ballack - they were two of the best players in the world at the time) instead of developing youth, which Ferguson has done an still does to great effect.

Ferguson won the UEFA cup with Aberdeen. Aberdeen.
Yes, he did, 27 years ago.

Today, Mourinho is without question the better manager, especially when you factor in both Manure and Real's performances this season.

Even if you escaped defeat against Villa, you still drew. Just keep on giving Chelsea oppertunities to extend their lead on the table.

Prior to last season, how long ago was it since Inter last won the CL? Almost 50 years. Like I said, get a clue. Mourinho offloaded that overrated spud in Ibrahimovic to Barcelona and secured Eto'o while using the extra cash to bring in Lucio, one of the best CBs in the world. Plain and simple, that's outstanding managing, better than anything Fergie's done in recent memory.

Also, wouldn't want to bring youth into this. The manure would have to have one of the oldest squads in the EPL. Once Schoels is gone, your mob won't have a genuine playmaker who plays centrally.

It's easy to look good when you have money to throw around and are dealing with known quantities.

Eric Cantona signed from Leeds for 1,2 million pounds

Cristiano Ronaldo signed from Sporting for 12.2 million pounds

I'm not saying Mouriniho isn't a great manager (hell, he'll probably end up coaching at Man u), but you seem to be dismissing Ferguson as a manager just because you don't like his character.

Wrong again.

For what it's worth, it's hard not to dislike a racist sore loser but based on your posts, you're trying to prove Fergie is the better than Mourinho which clearly illustrates you're in denial.

As I pointed out, Mourinho didn't spend anything but a fat lump of shit to get Eto'o and Lucio, arguably the best striker and best CB in the world at the moment. Not saying Fergie's a bad manager but based on each team's recent performances, it clearly shows Mourinho's done a far better job and newsflash. Oh, and they are both running big clubs, so as far as money is concerned, while Real Madrid have plenty more, they're still capable of making big signings.

No, I'm not. You're just ridiculously dismissing him.

If Man U could, we would've during the summer.

I am. Ferguson is better than Mourinho. Over the course of a long, long career he doesn't have to prove himself to anyone.

GB only got involved because I said we had the best manager in the world. I stand by that.

Looks like there are no more valid excuses.

For what it's worth, United were supposedly going after Wes Sneijder. Would have been quite the signing eh?

Sneijder? He has anaemia, collapsed in the dressing room at half time last week.

We've enough crocks as it is.
He is in the top 3 creative midfielders in the world. Your team would have him in a flash. I am still confused about how Ferguson didn't go for VDV, clearly would have improved your team.
