To be honest, I thought that was the only clip where he had a point and was justified for being arsey. All the other times, I thought he was an impatient, difficult tosser.
This is sheer gold dust! I used to watch all of Sir Alex's Press conferences on MUTV and they were a great watch and proof that you never messed with the 'Man fae Govan!' I love that line, 'Your job is to tell the truth! ' If only journos took that advice. I think a Compilation DVD of the best bits should be brought out by the Club.

@@FIshfood500Pep is a world class manager, but I'd like to see him take a team with limited funds that's not already on top to the top. Bayern, Barcelona and City aren't exactly the most challenging jobs in football. All respect to Pep though, regardless.
Alex Fergusson was a manager at Man Utd when there were two teams in the league. Man Utd and Arsenal, the rest just made the numbers up. When Chelsea was bought by Abramovitch and Mourhino came in, what happened to Fergusson then.
@@amdistant5547 Look at what he did in the Scottish League. What he did there was special. Remember, at United, he worked under The Glazers, which we know have ran the club into the ground. He had one hand tied behind his back under them. If SAF in those days had the backing that Pep has at City now? Wow, United could still be the best club in England. Mourinho for me is either first or second for me when it comes to the best managers in the world, and even he said that getting second in the league with Manchester United was the biggest achievement of his career. MUFC is an incredibly poorly ran club.
I've had the pleasure of meeting him briefly at the PFA dinner in 1996. A really nice bloke, and far more softly spoken than he comes across on TV. Something that really stood out was when he walked into the room; you had a large bar area outside the main restaurant, with lots of very famous Prem players and managers, and when Fergie walked in, it was as if a signal had been given; fucking EVERYONE turned to look. The man has so much charisma that it's unreal.
As a Chelsea fan could never stand him in the early mid to late 2000s but I always respected him and looking back I really do like him the greatest manager the game has produced bar none
Complete right! Journalists should write the truth. Also in Holland they don't. They write what they think. Integrity, where is it gone? Gone with Fergy perhaps.
Manchester United were struggling in Europe that year. They failed to get out of the Champions League group stage with Benfica and Basel instead progressing ahead of them. Then they went out of the Europa League in the round of 16 to Athletic Bilbao after a 4 game run in the competition that saw them lose 3 times.
@@johnm725 Journalist said 'struggling in Europe' - they were, they did. Nothing to do with what happened in the league, but, for the record, they lost the league to Manchester`City, in the final minute, on the final day, after having an 8 point lead with 6 games to go.
Absolute legend. The greatest manager of all time and I'm not a united fan. Knew how to treat everybody from the toilet cleaner to the chairman and especially the media trouble makers.
This response shows that Alex Ferguson was not a particularly nice person. People in general can't accept a negative about a person they greatly admire. Such people are like children. If they like a person a lot, then everything is good about then and they go on the attack if someone points out a negative. Fergie was a good manager but not a nice person. He treated people badly many times.
Absolute Nonsense she was trying to get a story going about changing goalkeepers and he shut her question down simple as that nothing to do with her father, And actually Ferguson and dalglish were and still are very good friends who have known each other for years don't believe what the media tell you
It’s in believable just how many clubs would need Fergie to come in and sort out overpayed footballers with no loyalty or passion , I’d take him at Chelsea in a heartbeat
No wonder the players played out there skins for him. I bet they hated him at times but still wanted him to like them and knew it was all for the better of them and the club. He had players like Giggs and Scholes doing the same donkey work as o shea fgs when if they went abroad they wouldn't of had to run back and probably git ballon dors but they wanted to be part of his team
He’s the greatest club manager of all time but he was up himself sometimes. Wenger and Pep had more class in interviews and didnt refuse to do post-match interviews on MOTD for years
He didn’t do the BBC interview because the BBC did a documentary about his son where some, not all of the stories weren’t true. Later the club and the league did their investigation and cleared him and his son of all wrongdoings that the BBC said they did. Fergie’s feud with the BBC lasted for 7 years. 2004-2011 when both he and the BBC just decided that the feud lasted long enough.
You look at the elite managers like Sir Alex, Guardiola, Klopp, and Ancellotti; they command respect and presence in a press conference. And then you have Ole looking like a lost child in press conferences.
I support my home town, a small club in comparasion to United and am impartial to most football clubs. I do have respect for the way Ferguson dealt with reporters however I don't actually think he was a great manager. He was one of the biggest hypocrites in football shouting abuse at linesman and referees when things wouldn't go United's way not to forget Fergie time which must of helped Man Utd gain points in ruthless, cheating fashion. I'm sure outside of football he's one of the nicest people you would meet and I did think his points during Euro 96 as a pundit on ITV were the best. Roy Keane isn't the most warming of characters but his points about Fergie would of been accurate about poor man management and being interested in his own interests over Man United.
I mean it IS a good question to be honest. Obviously everyone knows he’s talking about Messi but they had Iniesta and Xavi back then too remember. Some teams might want one of them instead. It all Depends on what each team actually needs.
@@Jearbearjenkins 😂 I get your point for sure but that’s a question you ask a manager when he’s retired man! 😆 it would’ve been like asking Phil Jackson if he could buy any basketball player, like ffs mate! Lmfaoooooo
@@Jearbearjenkins No its stupid. Messi was leagues above anyone in that team. He was scoring 60+ goals. He destroyed United. Asking who he would sign is stupid, the greatest player in his prime.
Yes he would. He made a career on being ruthless with players who weren’t up to the task or wouldn’t fall in line. Stam, Keane, ince, beckham, van nistelrooy, sharpe etc. you’re either too young to remember Fergie or you were asleep when he actually managed.
You have to admire sir Alex …he put up with some inane ridiculous media journalistic bull shit….questions that were beyond the pale …infantile at times….
That last bit about the acurcy & truth telling of the press is so spot on. Love the man!
fake news--D. Trump
100% put them
Right in their place good on ya sir Alex
Morally, their job should be to tell the truth… But the media is a business, made to make money, not to tell the truth.
@@harrym4128 Correct.
A journalist's job isn't to tell the truth, it's to sell newspapers. I am one and I should know.
To be honest, I thought that was the only clip where he had a point and was justified for being arsey. All the other times, I thought he was an impatient, difficult tosser.
The world needs more leadership like him.
Wish we still had him, he just didn't put up with nonsense.
Great man.

Omg I can't believe he actually asked Sir Alex such a school yard question like that 1st one.
Lol ye an old school guy like Sir Alex isn’t amused by questions like that
It was more so the fact they had just played against prime Barcelona... who the fuck isn't going to pick Messi. Such a stupid question.
So obvious, it was always going to be Mascherano!!
Are you also being sarcastic or do you not understand why that was a stupid question?
What do you think?
Ironic is more accurate here.

@@josephcole8046 think Fergie misheard the Journo, he thought he said stwugwin
Absolute legend. The greatest manager of all time and I'm not a united fan. Knew how to treat everybody from the toilet cleaner to the chairman and especially the media trouble makers.
The man with a charisma! I wonder those journalists have had a hard time not to be banned from his news conferences for their ‘stupid’ questions!
I loved watching his press conferences as a kid 😂
But he did more press conferences when he was a grown man
That is a stupid question. As if the Glazers like to spend money competently in the first place let alone give a blank cheque.
Also they had Messi
“You’re testing my patience” 😂😂
Ferguson the best ever no one will ever touch him brilliant man and manager
He said he loved LVG's press conferences. It's cos they're so the same!
no they're not.
David de gea has been at the club that long damn
2:55 that is great camouflage. He looks like a floating head.
We need prime minister’s like him. They’re to scared to be men, in case they lose the flake vote.
"Is that the one? Is he coming on Friday? Right well get him." Sounds like the Mafia..."he's gorra go ..."
We can all thank to the amazing wife of Sir Alex that she has enough of him at home so she kick him out to still work with United back then.
Was a shite question tho
Struggling? We’re not struggling. Went out in the group stage in a terrible group.

(second question)
From Kelly Cates. Shows him up for the spiteful man that he is. Takes out his dislike for her father on her.
De Gea still making the same howlers today 😂
Her father is a racist prick though
Absolute Nonsense she was trying to get a story going about changing goalkeepers and he shut her question down simple as that nothing to do with her father,
And actually Ferguson and dalglish were and still are very good friends who have known each other for years don't believe what the media tell you
You're either a hater, or can't comprehend what was said.
Pick one.
Fergie will put you straight in your place if you ask him stupid questions or step out of line. Absolute legend.
0:27 whos dat his kid
He reminds me of Michael Colyar how he deals with hecklers.
When he stood like a strong wall at United no City or whatsoever existed in the English Premier League! That’s for sure!
Hate United but love SAF."Your job is to tell the truth".Brilliant.He called out these lazy,sneaky turds for what they are.

He hates answering tough questions and bans anyone at will lol
He stopped speaking to the press entirely. The Portuguese lad had to step in with his limited English to answer press questions.
Watch the video again... tough questions???
When the question is stupid😂
He was nice when he needed to be, and nasty when he needed to be,that's why he was so successful . Also he learned a lot from Jock Stein.
He’s the greatest club manager of all time but he was up himself sometimes. Wenger and Pep had more class in interviews and didnt refuse to do post-match interviews on MOTD for years

We literally played our best football past SAF under Ole
You can take a man out of Glasgow…
He was a genius but u can see that absolute cast iron core of the man. No messing, no shit, if he didn't like u then keep out of his way.
The second one was dumb, it was a perfectly fine question just gives him a chance to big up his 2nd choice gk. He was clearly just pissed off.
