Sir Alex Ferguson blasts ‘unfair’ owners
Sir Alex Ferguson has criticized club owners around the country for their lack of patience with new managers. His comments come in the wake of mounting pressure on some of the most experienced tacticians in the Premier League today.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane became the latest casualty in the management wars after he was dismissed from his position as Ipswich town boss. Sir Alex’s own son, Darren Ferguson, was shown the door by Preston a few weeks ago, prompting the United manager
to recall three on-loan players from the club.
Speaking on the problems faced by managers nowadays, Sir Alex Ferguson said, “It is an unfair industry now. Managers don't get the time to introduce their own philosophy or change trends, which were the reasons for giving them the job in the first place.
When http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 chose Roy Hodgson, they did it on the back of his great experience at different clubs. But we are in a results industry. If you get a few bad results that can happen.”
His words perfectly reflected the plight of a number of managers in the league today. Avram Grant is on the brink of being dismissed from West Ham United. Meanwhile Carlo Ancelotti at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Houllier at Aston Villa are also facing intense pressure
after a string of bad results, despite their proven ability to win trophies in both the English league and abroad.
Sir Alex criticized the short sightedness of owners nowadays, saying that managers aren’t given time to make an impact. He said, “You have new owners. You have people from abroad; the Middle East, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-States-c3034. It is a different culture. They don't
have the same patience as older generations.”
Ferguson has no such problems at Old Trafford, of course. He insists that the manager is the most important person at Manchester United. The sheer number of trophies he has won with the club ensures he can hold on to the manager’s chair for as long as he
wants; however, many of his counterparts don’t have the same luxury.
