I think Fergie liked Big Sam, because his sides regularly took points off our title rivals, yet rarely took points off us. Fergies sides could always handle the Tony Pulis and Big Sam type approaches to the game. If Big Sam had had more success against us, I'm sure Fergie wouldn't have got on so well with him
Fergie is a winner. He hated those who he lost to and liked those he beat. Rafa was right about him. Until he turned into a threat,fergie was friendly and cordial. A winner cannot be too nice ! That is why Van Gaal could be suited to United. He has a massive ego, thinks he is infallible, and treats players like ****. This is what these ****ing united players need at the moment..
Allardyce's record against other "big clubs" is a bit of myth truth be told.I was watching the Arsenal v West Ham game last week and the commentator mentioned Allardyce had never beaten Arsenal away from home.
The very same board who approved the appointment of Moyes? Or do you genuinely believe that Ferguson told them it was Moyes or else? This decision won't be rocket science, there are a handful of candidates and it's a question of getting one of them as they are all gainfully employed at the moment. I'm fairly sure that the Americans without any clue whatsoever about football will once again ask for some advice from Ferguson. Fergie made a MISTAKE last time. That's what it was, he thought Moyes was capable of making the step up and was wrong. Easily done, when Moyes was appointed I also happened to think he'd do a pretty good job. I'm pretty sure he'll have learned from that.
