More quotes by Alex Ferguson
Never give in or give up easily on a cause.
Alex Ferguson
Players know that they can trust me which is really important. They know that I had the ability to adapt to change, and they have seen that many times over the years. I think these are important parts of being in control of footballers.
Alex Ferguson
I am such a bloody talented guy. I might go into painting or something like that.
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
You are not going to be happy if you lose to a goal in the last minute. It is difficult to take and difficult to get out of your mind.
Alex Ferguson
He's a novice - he should keep his opinions to Japanese football
Alex Ferguson
Keeping players happy is not easy and I think anyone with a big squad will tell you that.
Alex Ferguson
I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.
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
I do like to try and see myself in football players. Everybody is different and express themselves in different ways. There are different kinds of talents of course and there are many who I would never have had the talent that they have when I was a player. But I still had that determination to be successful and try my best.
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
He's such a great threat because of his power and pace. (on Cristiano Ronaldo)
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
Sometimes you're not sure about a player. Sometimes you doubt. Sometimes you have to guess. Sometimes you just know.
Alex Ferguson
Promise is one thing. Fulfilling that promise is quite another.
Alex Ferguson
When he's at the top of his game, there's not a team in the world that can handle Giggs' speed and penetration
Alex Ferguson
He could start a row in an empty house.
Alex Ferguson
I do believe in fate.
Alex Ferguson
To not apologize for the behavior of the players to another manager is unthinkable. It's a disgrace, but I don't expect Wenger to ever apologize...he's that type of person.
Alex Ferguson
Well, football is a hard game there's no denying it. It's a game that can bring out the worst in you, at times.
Alex Ferguson
