  1. Ferguson built pretty quickly at Man Utd. He took over a team which included players like Whiteside, Robson and McGrath. he spent his first season knocking them into shape, then in the second season he shipped in Bruce, Anderson, McClair and Hughes. In his third season he broke the transfer record to bring in Pallister and also spent big on Ince and Webb. By the end of that third season, they'd won the FA Cup and by the end of his fourth season they'd won the European Cup Winners Cup and reached the league Cup Final. That's pretty fast.
  2. Not strictly true. Martin won 3 Championships, McLeish won 2. Martin had a stable club, but McLeish had to sell most of his good players because Rangers were skint. He also did better in Europe than MON did. He's a very, very, good manager. Thankfully it would take a lot more than a good manager to do anything with that Small Heath rabble, but McLeish deserves our respect.
  3. First time I've ever tried this. Hope it works.
  4. It gets better and better... According to the Evening Mail they've just approached Marcelo Lippi. Surprisingly, he's turned them down. :
  5. Little known fact - one of the Gold's (I don't know which and care even less) was an Army Boxing Champion. It could be quite a decent bout.
  6. I can't agree with that. A lot of those draws in early season were only gained via an inordinate number of penalties being awarded to us. That's unlikely to happen again, so the extra goals we will doubtless score will only compensate us for the fewer penalties we're likely to be awarded. Add into the mix the fact that we acknowledge our defensive options aren't exactly sparkling and I reckon we'll do about the same as last season, maybe two or three points better, but no more than that. 51- 54 points, I reckon.
  7. I'd say 'yes' but he won't be sacked yet. Someone said it'll cost £4 million to terminate the big juicy contract he recently signed. Why would Doug spend £4 million when he can just wait for the takeover and leave it for the new owners to pick up the tab?
