Didn’t mind Forest - mainly because they stood between the rats and a clean sweep every year. |

Rather he had done it with us though instead of Sexton being appointed |

Just illustrates though, how Clough/Taylor could make seemingly mediocre players play to strict instructions and be effective for the overall good. Sexton/Ron just bought names and hoped they’d all hit it off. I reckon we would’ve outspent Forest during their peak, yet never looked like seriously challenging. |

Loved McQueen’s knees-up charge through the middle with the ball when he got pissed off with ineffective efforts in front of him. Tbf, big Joe became a footballer esp his last season. |

Fergies Treble put's him easily alongside Clough though for achievement in any 3 season period though especially having to respond to Wengers bar raising |

I'm 54 next birthday and loved the Doc's era (I can't really remember Frank O'Farrell's team) but remember 'enduring' Sexton's team. I've just googled United managers first signings for the club, I wonder if it says anything about them? See what you think Jose Mourinho - Eric Bailly Louis van Gaal - Ander Herrera David Moyes - Guillermo Varela Sir Alex Ferguson - Brian McClair Ron Atkinson - John Gidman Dave Sexton - Gary Bailey Tommy Docherty - George Graham Frank O'Farrell - Martin Buchan Wilf McGuinness - Ian Ure |

Eg: poor old Wilf. Whilst Edwards and Busby were feathering their nest and refused to sign Mike England, Ball, Shilton etc etc he had to make do with Ian £#%&!ing Ure. Best 1st signing of that lot; Buchan, wasn’t reflected in O’Farrell’s term. Tbf, like Wilf, he was cursed from the beginning with the negligence of Edwards/Busby. |

Yeah, I think you're right, in fact i'm sure that I read that Matt Busby was still heavily involved in the recruitment of players during the Wilf McGuinness period. |

Terrible phase. Remember the trauma well. Steve James Paul Edwards Carlo Sartori Ian Ure ... Don’t even like to think about it |
