More quotes by Alex Ferguson
Never give in or give up easily on a cause.
Alex Ferguson
I always say prepare to be a coach to anybody who wants to be a coach. At 24 years of age when I left engineering to become full time in football, I made sure that I was never going back to engineering.
Alex Ferguson
In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.
Alex Ferguson
He's a normal, likable, straightforward boy. (on David Beckham)
Alex Ferguson
The best have the courage and I say this all the time. The courage to take the ball all the time, the courage to make sure that they are not going to be intimidated by their opponents, and the courage to express themselves at all times and I think that all the great players have got that.
Alex Ferguson
Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.
Alex Ferguson
We got anxious at the end of the weekend in our urgency to try to score the winning goal. Ended up playing far too many long balls forward. That style of play doesn't suit Manchester United. We must continue to play football and enjoy the game. If we do that, eventually things will come right for us.
Alex Ferguson
It's great news. The reality of negotiations today is that they take time. But these have always been conducted in a good spirit and we are very pleased with the outcome. We can now look forward to the future.
Alex Ferguson
As long as there are games to play its not over
Alex Ferguson
I don't like losing but I've mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.
Alex Ferguson
If Chelsea drop points, the cat's out in the open. And you know what cats are like - sometimes they don't come home.
Alex Ferguson
I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.
Alex Ferguson
But there is always that unpredictability about a derby match and that's what it was today.
Alex Ferguson
I was lying in bed on a Saturday morning, reading the paper, when my phone went. The caller was Rangers director, Jack Gillespie, and he offered me the manager's job at Ibrox. I was flattered but declined with thanks. John Greig was a good friend of mine and I had no intention of being involved in ousting him.
Alex Ferguson
You have to put all the criticism of this club down to jealousy. United have produced more players who have played for their country, more world-class players and more players who have won European Footballer of the Year than any other team in this country, so we must be doing something right.
Alex Ferguson
I've never played for a draw in my life.
Alex Ferguson
The credit to them, the better team won and there's nothing we can do about that now.
Alex Ferguson
If I have my health I can carry on. There will be a point when I do quit but I have absolutely no idea when that is.
Alex Ferguson
If we can play like that every week well get some level of consistency.
Alex Ferguson
That lad must have been born offside.
Alex Ferguson
