I bet him he wouldn't get 15 league goals and I'm going to have to change my bet with him. If he gets to 15 I can change it and I am allowed to do that because I'm the manager. I'm going to make it 150 now!

More quotes by Alex Ferguson
Keeping players happy is not easy and I think anyone with a big squad will tell you that.
Alex Ferguson
Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way.
Alex Ferguson
It was time for me to spend more time with my wife. I'm not saying I do spend more time with my wife, because she would throw me out of the house, but we have breakfast together. I never did.
Alex Ferguson
Liverpool can play for only five minutes and win the game, that is the way they are. They pump the ball into the box and with good set-piece delivery they keep you under pressure.
Alex Ferguson
We once went 13 games without winning. There's always pressure here. Winning is always important here. How do you handle yourself and compose yourself is important. (on Manchester United)
Alex Ferguson
They say it was Cesc Fabregas who threw the pizza at me but, to this day, I have no idea who the culprit was.
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
There are members of the London press who seek to antagonise me, deliberately.
Alex Ferguson
Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.
Alex Ferguson
I always said to the directors that the minute a player becomes more powerful than the manager of Manchester United, it's not Manchester United. You have lost control of the whole club. So I always made sure that I was in control. They always knew who the manager was.
Alex Ferguson
I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.
Alex Ferguson
Distinguish between power and control, delegate, be decisive - and always remember people's first names.
Alex Ferguson
If you were in a game of football always think you need maybe eight to win the game. Three can on an off day or semi off day but you always hard. And the players recognize that and they'll do that extra to make sure they get winning. The essence of the team is to understand and trust each other and to trust me.
Alex Ferguson
My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f*****g perch. And you can print that.
Alex Ferguson
I'm no f****** talking to you. He's a f****** great player. Yous are f******* idiots.
Alex Ferguson
When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate, I check under the sauce to make sure.
Alex Ferguson
I'm-A-God-Look-At-Me.
Alex Ferguson
If he was an inch taller he'd be the best center half in Britain. His father is 6 ft 2 in - I'd check the milkman.
Alex Ferguson
Kindness is a universal language regardless of age, nationality or religion.
Alex Ferguson
There has been a lot of expectation on Manchester City and with the spending they have done they have to win something. Sometimes you have a noisy neighbor and have to live with it.
Alex Ferguson
