Could he have been able to keep up with Pep, Klopp and Pochettino?

Could he have been able to keep up with Pep, Klopp and Pochettino?

>me looking at the Premier League table
>Manchester United is above Spurs and Liverpool

?

No. He played a 4-4-2 for 30 years and only won by outspending everyone.

>2011
>Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Fabio, Carrick, Fletcher, Valencia, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney
>won the title and got to the CL final with this fucking side
>outspent everyone

wut

beat it, kid

Did he not spend money on those?

>the 2011 versions of Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Carrick, Fletcher, Valencia, Berbatov and Rooney weren't elite
Kek

Are you implying he outspent Chelsea between 2005-2013 and City between 2008-2013?

Probably if you adjust for inflation

He's probably the only man that could have defeated Pep in this timeline

lel

> defunct > torres Chelsea in the quarters
> fucking >Schalke in the semis

i don't even remember who they played in the RO16, but it was literally the easiest run to a CL final, ever.

>that >Schalke game in the Semis

Holy fucking kek, good times. Where I first learned about Neuer.

>asking if the greatest Manager in the modern permiership history would have trouble with a duden that nearly got Dortmund relegated in a one team league and another random Argie that never won anything and relies on Kane to bail him out a 100% of the time
lmao
Pep, maybe but I still think Fergie would have come out on top

>Break the British transfer record (not the first for Fergie) on Ferdinand
>Apparently that doesn't count because it happened before Abramovich even though he was vital up until Fergie left

that Schalke team was so entertaining

finished like 10th in the league but still knocked out Valencia and the CL holders Inter thanks to pure meme magic.

He was the first cheque book manager, spending 30M on multiple players while his closest rival record signing was 14M Arshavin. He didn't even have his own brand of football.

Lol, he lost to Pep everytime they meet.

still not the same as the literal billions abramovich and the arabs threw at their teams. and ferguson still beat them

Yeah, against the greatest team of all time. Fergie would have beaten him well once he moved to City.

lol

How is Pochettino in this conversation?

>beat Arsenal with this dross
Ferguson was the absolute GOAT manager.

He's part of the new big four PL teams.

REMINDER

lets have a look at Pep, Klopp and Poch's trophy case...

>beating post vieira arsenal is somehow an accomplishment

They said the same about Wenger, Benitez, Mourinho. Fergie always comes out on top.

the top 4 (United,City,Chelsea,Arsenal) are the classical top 4 because they were consistently up there for quite some time all while winning something.
Calling Tottenham and Liverpool part of the ‘new’ top 4 after not even two seasons because Arsenal have the worst two years in the last two decades and Chelsea are fucking themselves over is ridiculous.
Even Arsenal managed to win something all while being shit, what did Tottenham and Liverpool do ?

The "classic top 4" is United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Not sure if Spurs really count as part of that group, they're just punching way above their weight and they'll drop back to normal once they lose Kane.

Liverpool haven’t had a steady run in the top for since 09, it’s 2018 now.
That’s not classic that’s ancient.

It is what it is
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League#"Big_Four"_dominance_(2000s)

So he couldn't do it but Wonga could with fucking Eboue in the team?
Are you even listening to yourself right now?

>Class of 92
>Outspent everyone

Back in the womb babby

>be the only dog in town and outspend everyone
>whine now that there's competition
Pakinited soyboys are truly delusional

>He played a 4-4-2
with Carlos Queiroz or Mike Phelan along side him Ferguson wouldn't be as prehistoric as you make him out to be

>Could he have been able to keep up with Pep, Klopp and Pochettino?
would be fun to watch

No, but thats not an insult. Game was moving on. He couldn't motivate the new generation like he could the old one. Too much young hip kid shit that he didn't understand. In his last season, his signings were
>Van Persie
Necessary choice
>Kagawa
>Nick Powell
>Buttner
>Henriquez
>Zaha
lmao

Also he was getting EXPOSED tactically in Europe every year. Getting outplayed home and away by Bilbao must have stung like a bitch. Still had to stick around for another year to end it on a high though, obviously. Glad he did, that last season was great.
