Snake 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 You're ignoring the wages and the fact that these low cost purchases still cost more than most other clubs could afford. I'm fairly certain that many other clubs spot these low cost youth players as well but can't offer better deals, not that the players would go there anyway. Let's even the playing field, then we'll see Well what about Aberdeen then? Not exactly an open chequebook there but still built a good team and won the cup winners cup and the league. Done at a time when football was a far more level playing field. Could he do it now? Could he fuck Surely that suggests he could do it on what you say you would like to see, i.e. a level playing field. No because it was a one (or two) off. He didn't repeat it year after year. For example, I'm sure Souness won trophies at Blackburn Aye, and that Mourinho fella only won the UEFA Cup and European Cup once each with Porto, he's clearly rubbish too. Yep because I clearly said he was rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see how you could say that was a one-off either. He was there about 8 years. It's Scotland though, joke league. How good were the Celtic and Rangers managers back then by the way?

You've changed your argument about 3 times since the thread started. We've gone from "He can't do it on a level playing field" to "Well but he can't do it on an uneven playing field" to "well alright he can but it was just a one off though". It looks like your just after a bit of attention to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6321 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yep, but not as big as him. I'd love to see all the chequebook managers given fuck all to spend then we'd actually find out just how good they really are. Not that it would ever happen Actually his success at Man Utd has been built up on low cost buys and youth team players. The Neville's, Butt, Scholes, Giggs and Beckham all cost nothing while players like, Schmeichel, Cantona, Ince, Dublin and Kanchelskis and Keane were all bought for nominal fee's. He has spent big on some players but overall i don't think you can say he's only successful because he's had money. He rebuilt Man Utd from the ground up, they were patient with him in the beginning and they are now reaping the rewards. While I'm with you on the argument, you can't suggest that Keane was bought for a nominal fee. £3.6m IIRC which, at the time, was a British record eclipsing the £3.3m Blackburn paid Southampton for Shearer. Didn't last long before Blackburn paid Norwich £5m for Chris Sutton though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
