10 Reasons Why Man City Fans Are Jealous Of Man United
2. Sir Alex Ferguson
In football there is a fine line between success and failure. A team can be made up of some of the finest footballers in the world, but without a manager to bring those players together and make them work as a unit success becomes further out of reach.
During Sir Alex Ferguson's 26 years in charge of Manchester United, Manchester City had 15 different managers. From the day he arrived the fiery Scot exuded confidence and set out what he wanted to achieve:
“I am not really interested in what has happened here in the past. I don’t mean any disrespect to the great achievements of Manchester United over the years. It’s simply that now there is only one way to go, and that is forward.”
By the time he retired he had become the most decorated manager in Premier League history. How City must long for a boss like Sir Alex (or Sir Matt Busby for that matter), yet with the need for immediate success that comes with a mega money takeover, it is becoming increasingly unlikely.
