    Still, If I was them, I'd buy some defenders as well.

    As long as they leave Ferdinand and Vidic alone thats ok!

    Bob Paisly I make that better without even adding the runners up bits:)

    3 champions league wins in 4 years :)

    Thanks for the links

    So you choose Bob Paisly who won 5 titles abroad, very commendable
    Sir Alex has won 6 ;)

    Sir Alex has won : -

    Winners
    World Club Cup 2008
    Champions Leage 2008
    Champions Leage 1999
    Intercontinental Cup 1999
    Super Cup 1991
    Super Cup 1984

    Runners Up
    Champions League 2009
    Super Cup 2008
    Super Cup 1999

    I am not doubting that Bob Paisley achieved a great amount of tropheys in a short period. Part of that will do with a time and a place.
    However you cannot deny that Sir Alex has won more tropheys abroad.

    as they say at Lotto central, you've got to be in it to win it and Sir Alex has won more.

    I suppose you think that Rio Ferdiand was better than Paulo Maldini, Paul Scholes better than Zidane and that Best was better than Maradona.

    No, I think at his time, Zidane was by far the best player.
    He just oozed class

    Maldini / Ferdinand - I would probably choose Maldini

    Best / Maradonna - A hard one as I generally only see them in short spaces from TV clips, but I would probably go for Best. Not because he played for Man Utd, but because from what I saw on TV, he was untouchable. It's a pity he didn't play for a better international team to compare him against international opposition more.

    Show me where Bob Paisly, Joe Fagan or any other British manager with a better record for competition abroad


    not the most Micky mouse trophies. Sorry you changed your angle

    Paisleys record is clearly better as it was over 9 years.:D

    2005 Liverpool won it and United finished bottom at the group stage, I think these results drop out next year, so presumably if United and Liverpool go out at the same stage this year United will jump above Liverpool.

    Maradona singlehandedly took Napoli to win Serie A twice (in what at the time was the best league in the world), then took an ordinary Argentina to win the World Cup in 86 and a poor Argentina to the final in 1990.
    Best on the other hand played less than 40 internationals and was effectively finished by the age of 25.
    Great, great talent but should have achieved more.

    "Probably Maldini" - must have been tongue in cheek.

    Prefer Cruyff myself (not Jordi) took Holland from a second rate footballing nation to the best team on the planet, and then there was 3 times Euro winners Ajax.
