More quotes by Alex Ferguson
There are members of the London press who seek to antagonise me, deliberately.
Alex Ferguson
Sometimes you're not sure about a player. Sometimes you doubt. Sometimes you have to guess. Sometimes you just know.
Alex Ferguson
I understand the intensity of the supporters. I wonder how they could turn up for work on Monday morning after we lost 5-1 to Manchester City.
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 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
Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn't think of him as an elite international footballer. And I am one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player.
Alex Ferguson
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell.
Alex Ferguson
Go make your mistakes in the first team. You'll learn more in a month in the first team than you will in two years in the reserves.
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
The most important thing in a game like that is to win it.
Alex Ferguson
It's a conflict of parallels.
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
Ronaldo could play for Millwall, QPR, Doncaster Rovers or anyone and he'd score a hat-trick. I'm not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo's got two feet, he's quick, he's good in the air and he's brave, though Messi's brave too of course. I just think Messi is a Barcelona player.
Alex Ferguson
They (the press) have a hatred of Manchester United.
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
The work of a team should always embrace a great player, but the great player must always work.
Alex Ferguson
Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.
Alex Ferguson
You start with what you believe in. I believe in building a football club rather than building a football team.
Alex Ferguson
Distinguish between power and control, delegate, be decisive - and always remember people's first names.
Alex Ferguson
I realized I was good at developing young people. Eventually I started to believe in young people. I think when you give a young person an opportunity, he always believes who gave him his first chance. You create a loyalty that lasts a lifetime.
Alex Ferguson
