He is extremely controlling. Wants everything his way. What Beckham should wear, how he should cut his hair, how many days he should spend on his honeymoon, who should he marry and who should he not be with … Is this OK for you? And he would get away after physically assaulting him? For SAF, everything was always about himself.
Arsene Wenger on the other hand is so different. He only controlled what people ate (and that too, through education and not “enforcement”). I never hear any such stories about him. He too was a winner, wasn’t he? But completely different style of management.
Seems Ferguson controlled through fear while Arsene Wenger coached through love.
Usually young football players havr to be told what they NEED to hear not what they WANT to hear. Im a Gunner since 2001 but Sir Alex is a Sir for a reason, he always got more out of his squad then the sum of its individual parts. Id still pick Wengers philosophy though, he revolutionized football, pioneered implementing Advanced Sports Nutrition, Advanced Statistics and was the first to suggest FFP. One was a winner, the other innovator.
Also, id rather watch tiki taka football than crosses and long balls and Fergie time winners. My opinion.
Tbf the only reason why Wenger isn’t also a Sir is because he’s foreign.
And the fact that wenger won 10 less pl titles and 2 less ucls than ferguson. They aren’t comparable as managers. Wenger was an innovator but he isn’t an all time great manager. Ferguson is an all time great manager.
