If we can play like that every week well get some level of consistency.

I was doing all the coaching schools so that I'd be able to stay in the game, and I gave myself a chance by doing that. I was only an average player, could score a goal or two, that sort of thing, but I wasn't a Bobby Charlton or a Messi, or Ronaldo. There are very, very few really great players who have become great coaches.

Manchester United might not win Premier League every year, but we'd always be up there competing for it every year.

Distinguish between power and control, delegate, be decisive - and always remember people's first names.

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.

In any normal season, most of the teams below Chelsea would think they are doing quite well.
Alex Ferguson

It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.

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.

They (the press) have a hatred of Manchester United.
Alex Ferguson
Image
I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.

The work of a team should always embrace a great player, but the great player must always work.
Alex Ferguson
Image
I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.
Alex Ferguson

You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.

Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.

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.
