  Jamie carrager said Alex Ferguson biggest mistake was underestimating how good he was

  That shot of Mourinho shaking the hands of the three guys sitting around him always cracks me up.

  It&apos;s probably hard for younger fans to understand just how good Moyes&apos; reputation was at the time (as it pretty much torpedoed after United). The job he did at Everton is quite possibly the greatest piece of long term managerial work in PL history! &nbsp; <br><br>This was a time where the top 4 of United, Chelsea, Arsenal &amp; Liverpool was totally locked down, with City later gate crashing. He got a team that was stranded in the lower/bottom half for a decade &amp; brought them to a place where a quality striker would&apos;ve seen them seriously threaten that monopoly &amp; he did it operating with virtually no resources. <br><br>Every older fan of these top 4 clubs will remember how seriously the fixture away to Everton was taken. A win was a sigh of relief &amp; taken as a notch on the belt.

  I remember reading somewhere that &nbsp;Sir Alex desperately wanted Pep even when he was a player!

  Getting rid of all the coaches was a stupid first move…….replacing a world class team of coaches (who took care of training and a large part of the tactical work), and replacing them with his own team of coaches who had didn’t have the experience working with players like that, and weren’t proven winners. <br><br>Then he dithered in the transfer market massively, not giving the go ahead on players that had already been lined up for him, as well as being indecisive on his own targets to the point he lost them to other clubs. <br><br>He set himself up badly before the season even started. <br><br>I also think his mentality was suited to being the underdog, and instead of trying to make the transition to having a mentality suited for United, you could almost see him week by week shifting United from a winning mentality to an underdog one - psychologically it was like he just couldn’t see himself as a winning manager of a dominant team, and just reverted back to scrappy underdog.<br><br>There were loads of other issues that had started to seap through the cracks during the end of Sir Alex’s reign, with the club being handled appalling on the football front, with people in positions (Woodward being the biggest villain here), that they had no experience in, and arrogantly making misstep after misstep - thinking that their success as businessmen would somehow transfer into the football side of things. Utterly clueless.<br><br>So Moyes didn’t come into a healthy club, but he made it so much worse for himself with key decisions he made; I think even if he’d been the right manager, kept the staff on and made good signings it may have been quite different, but the rot would have eventually shown anyway

  Even when doing historical videos, he&apos;s invoking his own depression...

  Crazy how little they backed him in that first transfer window

  Ed Woodward was undoubtedly the one that killed United post Ferguson. Ruined the sponsorships, despite the myth, sponsorships grew much slower under him and were were overtaken in revenue. Had absolutely no skill in buying players. Set us so far back!

  Watching Man U fans hype up their next manager almost every 2 years feels like were stuck in a loop. We all know whats gonna happen but they still somehow get suprised<br>Edit : i was so right about this, and the same will probably happen to Carrick if they hype him up to mucha bd give him the full time job

  The only positive thing from Moyes season was how United managed to get into UCL quarter finals, top of their group with 12 points, a 2nd leg comeback against Olympiacos via a Van Persie Hattrick and could have gone into possible semi final, and that&apos;s pretty much it
