Sir Alex is greatest

Sir Alex Ferguson is the best British manager there has ever been. And coming from my mouth, that is saying something because of the rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool. Bob Paisley was the best I played under at Liverpool and when he took over people said he wouldn’t last long, couldn’t repeat Bill Shankly’s success and yet Paisley went onto become even more successful. Great managers like Paisley and Shankly seemed to have made Liverpool’s history untouchable. Overtaking Liverpool’s incredible haul of titles seemed a long, long way off when Fergie took over at Old Trafford nearly 25 years ago. But it has been a remarkable achievement to reach 19 titles, establish United as the most successful club in English football history and they can still finish the season as Double winners by lifting the Champions League trophy. Ferguson has not shied away from difficulties, he’s built four if not five great United teams, handled big names like Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, Rooney and this season has only proved once again just what a great manager he is.

In transfer speculation, David Gill has revealed the search for Edwin van der Sar’s successor at Old Trafford is over. United’s chief executive is quoted in The Telegraph: “We know the keeper we want. We are in a good situation with that and it will progress at the end of the season. It is not as though it is a surprise that Edwin is retiring. We have made the decision and I am sure we can get the deal done.”
One player who looks unlikely to be joining United, however, is Manuel Neuer who appears to be on the brink of signing for Bayern Munich after their boss Uli Hoeness claimed a deal has been done for the Schalke goalkeeper.

Secret of Success

“Sir, What is the secret of your success?” a reporter asked a bank president.
“Two words”
“And, Sir,what are they?”
“Right decisions.”
“And how do you make right decisions?”
“One word.”
“And,sir, What is that?”
“Experience.”
“And how do you get Experience?”
“Two words.”
“And, Sir, what are they?”
“Wrong decisions.”

First Secret of Success (Norman Vincent Peale Quote)

“People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.”

When Edmund Hillary Conquered Mount Everest

Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to climb Mount Everest. On May 29, 1953 he scaled the highest mountain then known to man-29,000 feet straight up. He was knighted for his efforts.
He even made American Express card commercials because of it! However, until we read his book, High Adventure, we don’t understand that Hillary had to grow into this success.
You see, in 1952 he attempted to climb Mount Everest, but failed. A few weeks later a group in England asked him to address its members.
Hillary walked on stage to a thunderous applause. The audience was recognizing an attempt at greatness, but Edmund Hillary saw himself as a failure. He moved away from the microphone and walked to the edge of the platform.
He made a fist and pointed at a picture of the mountain. He said in a loud voice, “Mount Everest, you beat me the first time, but I’ll beat you the next time because you’ve grown all you are going to grow… but I’m still growing!”

We're ready for Chelsea

Sir Alex Ferguson says his players are fully aware of the job they need to do on Sunday when Chelsea visit Old Trafford and the United manager is confident they won't let him down.
United's defeat at Arsenal last weekend has opened the door for the defending champions who appeared to be out of the title race just a few weeks ago. The Reds still hold their destiny in their own hands and know victory on Sunday will all but guarantee a record 19th championship crown.
"Everyone's aware of the magnitude of Sunday's game and it's one we're looking forward to," Sir Alex told reporters at his pre-match press conference.
"Last Sunday's result has certainly brought an awareness to us of how important this game is and I think it's one of the reasons I had to pick the team I did on Wednesday. It's given us a fresh team for Sunday. It should be a fantastic match and if we win, we should win the league."
The Reds possess one of the best home records in Europe having dropped just two points all season in the league. And the boss is hoping his team can produce can another match-winning display against Ancelotti's men.
"Our home form is a big advantage. That's the reason we're there [on top]," said Sir Alex. "It's probably the best in Europe. Some of our performances at home have been absolutely terrific. Hopefully we get the result we want."

Fergie: Win and the title is ours

ALEX FERGUSON has told his Manchester United players: Beat Chelsea and the title is ours.

Should United triumph over Carlo Ancelotti's men, they would need a point from their final two games against Blackburn and Blackpool to claim a record 19th league title.
Ferguson knows this Sunday's clash at Old Trafford is the key, with Carlo Ancelotti's men having taken 25 points from their last 27.
And that is why the wily Scot made eight changes to his starting line-up for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final decider with Schalke.
He said: "Everyone is aware of the magnitude of Sunday's game.
"If we win, we should win the league.
"It is a game we are looking forward to. Last Sunday's result at Arsenal has certainly brought us an awareness of how important this week's game is.
"It is one of the reasons why I picked the team I did on Wednesday. I wanted to give us a real chance.
"We will have a fresh team on Sunday and that makes a difference at this time of the season.
"It should be a fantastic game."
