Funny like, I don't recall having met you. You fall for it every time No wonder Fop likes it here Your argument gets shown up so you resort to abuse tbh The abuse was to provoke the expected reaction from you. You said pretty much what I expected. My arguement was not shown up in any way, shape or form and certainly not by you, slapheed How much did Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers spend on transfers and wages during his time there, do you know?

Scottish Mag 3 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Full on huff now btw Totally Does it matter who spent what? As it will either be a level playing field, or an unlevel playing field and so on... Or you may just go in to full wum mode and just got off on another tangent...

I'm saying I don't honestly know but wouldn't be shocked if he did Maybe he did, I'd be very surprised though as it would buck the trend within Scottish Football. Especially if it was over the 8 years or so he was there. I think it would be something that got brought up more if it was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Did Ferguson spend much at Aberdeen btw? In relative terms? Because his success there was incredible on what I'd assume to be a pretty low budget. The thing is a lot of managers do that sort of thing.... once (although they'd been doing ok just prior to him taking control). Ferguson anywhere but Man U might have been a very good manager, but he wouldn't have won as much as he has. Although even at Man U he had the benefits of spending quite a bit from the off, the club punching below its weight and long term backing for finishes that would have got many manager sacked (I'll be surprised if any other Man U manager gets 4 seasons of backing like Fergy did for similar results, ever again).

I wouldn't disagree. He's totally earned any plaudits he's gained at Man Utd though. He may have gained from certain circumstances etc. But name me one successful person on anything like his scale you couldn't say the same about?

wykikitoon 21486 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I thought most of the time the Inter defenders left a foot out. Its a contact sport, the minimum of touch the Man Yoo players went down or stuck a leg out so it got a touch. yes the Inter players didnt help themselves but still, bunch of fannies!

Ginola was the first choice then the deal stalled over wages. But KK only went back for Ginola after Salako failed the medical. Still, shows how you need that bit of luck.

Craig 6701 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Aye I do remember that we were in for Ginola but them looked to Salako. Didn't we make that audacious move for Baggio before we went back in for Ginola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
