    Ferguson's didn't win 16 of anything as a player. You can't put him in the same category as Dalglish when all Fergie's honours were managerial. Same with Maley, they're all managerial.

    Ferguson was as much a footballer as Moaninho, Wenger and Gerard Houllier. All 3 were amateur footballers that were full time teachers. Wenger and Maureen were P.E. teachers. Houllier was a secondary school teacher before becoming a university lecturer.

    No, your only point was how many league titles Fergie won as a manager :p

    If it was about managerial achievements he would have gone full Liverpool and put Paisley in there :emoticon-0147-emo:

    The discussion was about legendary players, he added Dalglish - who is a playing legend - and threw in his managerial trophies by way of embellishment.

    The reason there are 'Foreign managers' is because British managers are ****. They are dreadful. We'll never see the likes of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Baconface, Matt Busby, Jock Stein, Brian Clough, Bill Nicholson, Don Revie, Alf Ramsey, Kenny Dalglish, Joe ***an again.

    Brendan Rodgers is neither British or a great manager.

    I was going to say this but Wiki said otherwise so I hesitated thinking maybe N.I is part of the UK but not Britain or something technical like that?

    After the Good Friday agreement the people of N.I were given the choice of calling themselves British, Irish or both.

    If anyone on here actually paid attention and watched the many self aggrandizing documentaries Rodgers loved you'd know he's one of those hurlers and played football too . Add in managing celtic and youd have to conclude hed identify more with nationalists than unionist.

    I couldn't tell you which passport he has though....

    Brendan Rodgers is definitely Irish.
