Pep Guardiola, a Spanish football manager and former player is currently FC Barcelona's manager and signed a contract with them in 2008. In his first season as manager Barça won "La Liga", "Copa del Rey" and the Champions League.
Guardiola became the youngest UEFA Champions League winning manager in all its history. The following season, Barcelona won the "Supercopa de España"and the UEFA supercup, bringing Guardiola's tally to six trophies, completing the first ever sextuple.
Sir Alex Ferguson is a Scottish football manager and former player who has managed Manchester United since 1986. Being manager of the club for 25 years, he is the longest serving manager in their history. In 2008, he became the third British manager to win the European cup on more than one occasion. He was knighted in 1999 for his services to the game and holds the Freedom to the City of Aberdeen.
I intend to start this post how I mean to continue: I utterly detest Sir. Alex Ferguson (and I say this as calmly as a Barcelona fan can). Not only does he frantically and infuriatingly masticate chewing gum like a cow with some sort of mandibular problem but he is also absurdly humourless unless of course, he is the one cracking the joke. If ever Manchester United lose a game, it's not because the opposing team played better. If during a press conference a journalist has the audacity to ask something Ferguson does not wish to answer he walks out of it like a child in his terrible two's. He has the press wrapped around his little finger, and evidently he is not the best influence on one of the team's main strikers, Wayne Rooney who also breaks out in fits of anger and smugly kissed the Manchester United badge in front of Everton fans.
As a Shakespeare admirer I feel this quote fits in perfectly with the post: "In time we hate that which we often fear." To tell the truth, Manchester United are a threat to Barcelona. It sends shivers down my spine imagining the cup in Old Trafford rather than in Camp Nou (where it clearly belongs).
But the main reason I loathe Alex Ferguson is because in his own maniac chewing, screaming, prancing, tantrum throwing, foul mouthed way he is still a winner.
