The Full Sir Alex Ferguson Interview With Charlie Rose - Talks Retirement, Wayne Rooney, Chelsea Job 

Alex liked the comparison though, you can see the way he smiled Probably enjoyed his managerial career being thought of as a parallel to the success of a fellow leader who founded Apple, a billion dollar company

I have read his two autobiographies so many times

His accent is so hard for non English native like me..But I do read his books and learn a lot

@@markusbisma5015 it’s English very easy to understand.

@@whatwedoinlifeechosanetern3995 Hell no it isn't. The Scottish accent is difficult to follow even for native English speakers.

😂

A million pieces more like 🤣

1500 games.

he has a talent for making good players great players. remarkable

Cus of his MU success was incredible.

What's the Rock cooking

Because Aberdeen are shite

hun fuck what league are you zombies in?

DUFC321 were in the championship and we'll be up next year to fuck yous all. Think of sarcy comments all you want but let's be honest, when Rangers come back up Celtic will be the only challenge.... Again

You do realise the Economist is a British magazine right?

Yes yes! The latter part (of my rant) was directed toward the interviewer, not the magazine. I still thinks it's a silly comparison though, lol.

Hey buddy, this is an American show. Of course the host is going to make comparisons so the average American (who doesn't follow the Premier League) will get a basic understanding of how significant and accomplished Fergie is.

Sir Alex is a thousand times what Steve fucking Jobs is

You don’t want to like the comment that highlights this, you want to like the comment that highlights this

Absurd. You don't know enough about sport to make that claim.

@@MattSingh1 name someone than

U know how crappy that United team was? If it wasn’t for SAF, we wouldn’t had won the title

He isn't the greatest manager of all time. He's not even the greatest manager in Britain. Bob Paisley won more trophies in a shorter period of time at Liverpool than Alex Ferguson won in a longer period of time at Manchester United. Not only did he win a record number of English league titles but Paisley is the only manager in history to win 3 European Cups with the same club.

Olisa Maduegbuna Best British Managers: 1) Brian Clough (genius on and off the fieldwho took a second division club to champions of europe) 2) SAF 3) Paisley

IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN How do you put SAF above Paisley? That's nuts. Paisley won much more in a shorter period of time. His Liverpool teams were the most successful in English football history and even today his trophy haul means despite the tide of success flowing towards Manchester since the early 90's, Liverpool have still recorded the most trophies in English history (41) compared to Manchester United's 39.

Olisa Maduegbuna Paisely had an amazing 8 or 9 years, winning 3 european cups which is unprecedented but he ultimately inherited an extremely strong side from Bill Shankly who was the one who brought liverpool up from second division obscurity to a top team but Bob got all the eventual glory. Paiselys relatively short-term success is unmatched though. SAF on the other side inherited the worst united side since the Munich air disaster and went on to win the league 13 times, created a youth philosophy which nurtured the most successful english talent of this generation without any doubt and he held that position for 26 years which I doubt will be emulated in our life times. For that reason alone he's above Paisley. Imagine the same manager dominating at Madrid or Bayern or United or Liverpool or any top club for 26 years... Its unthinkable! The only reason Clough is ahead was his genius off the field, he was just as special an individual away from football which Ferguson never seemed.

IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN Paisley only retired after just 9 years due to health reasons. But how long a manager stays is irrelevant. What is important is how much they win in their period in time at the helm. Wenger has been and I'm sure will continue to be at Arsenal for so long yet I doubt when the History books are written that Wenger will win more with Arsenal than Mourinho will do with Chelsea. Will people then say oh Wenger led for so long so should be seen as a greater manager? Length of tenure is irrelevant. Mourinho's greater success albeit in a shorter period of time at Chelsea will stand him in greater stead in the history books. And you ignore the fact that Paisley had been Shankly's right hand man throughout Shankly's era of laying the foundations. Paisley was responsible for player recruitment. He presided over both during his time as assistant and head manager, over some of the best transfers in English football. The real success came when Paisley turned 'Shankly's foundations' into real accomplishments. Yes Fergie took over a less successful United side but it wasn't like Fergie didn't have great predecessors before him - Mat Busby was the one who picked up the pieces from the Munich disaster and his youth policy (the Busby Babes) started success at Man United (winning a European cup) before SAF came. Yes SAF achieved a lot and was able to continue working for so long due to the wonders of modern medicine but SAF didn't build something from nothing either. United had recovered from the Munich disaster much much earlier before SAF came. Trophies are the bread and butter of a club's legacy and history. Paisley won much more in various competitions in a much shorter period of time than SAF could have dreamed of achieving at Man United. SAF stayed for so long yet won much less in comparison. Paisely's Liverpool was one of the most successful in club football history not to talk of just English history. Only teams which can be compared are the Barca side of the late 2000's under Guardiola and the late 90's AC Milan team. Growing old on the job doesn't mean a thing. Winning trophies is what counts.

Fans fault not his.. I was one of them fans too..

He said -"You don't want to be the guy that follows Alex Ferguson, you want to be the guy that follows THE GUY THAT FOLLOWS Alex Ferguson" - in other words, not Moyes but the one that follows Moyes.

hahah that's funny

How on earth did you come to that conclusion? It's a completely different game. I'm not disagreeing with your comment in any way but I'm certainly not agreeing. Alex Ferguson has a great tactically aware footballing brain.

Michael Shotton because he’s won the premier league more than every other manager combined.

Thomas Dauphan well your right I’m with you but they are point based leagues and there’s relegation .., if nfl teams had relegation they wouldn’t tank seasons because they know they get their share of money even if they finish last. Not disagreeing with you at all but I wish the nfl had a consequence for finishing in the bottom that would really devastate them financially like the premier league that’s all. That would make it even more awesome for the nfl

@Thomas Dauphan the difference between United under Ferguson and the other teams you mentioned is that United hadn't won the league for 20 years and he built them up to win the league and made them that dominant. They used youth players and only brought players because United earnt their own money from sustained success. Where as the other teams were brought buy billionaires and had all the money to just buy whoever they want to get their league titles. It was the only way teams could compete with Ferguson's united. That's how great Ferguson was at management. He built a monster team that would have had at least 17 titles in 21 years if not for the billionaires coming in to make average to poor teams able to be filled with world class players to compete and win some battles, but even then Ferguson's united still won the wars. Every time. Look what's happened to United since he left. Haven't come close. Such is the greatness of the man and his management.

Arthur if we measure your way, the disrespect goes to Steve more than him. That guy innovated something for the whole world benefited it but Ferguson was not even close to him.

@@TheMaestro8 oh god here we go never mind lol do you play football or soccer

@@pauljones8218 I'm not from US neither basketball fan. I play football not professionally but for hobby. I support Manchester City. I know him very well.

and who better than Zinadine Zidane now!

Dalglish ?? 💀

Alex Ferguson will obviously treat an American interviewer differently from a British football journalist - the latter should ask better, more appropriate questions since it is their profession
