    Right now, today. Would he get them promoted?


    Consider the fact they haven't got the greatest team in the league, not got particularly loads of money, and have found themselves in the Championship for about 11 years now.


    Could Fergie get them promoted this season?

    I reckon so. Championship is a close league overall and all you need is good team spirit and a manager that knows what he is doing tactics wise.

    Doubt it. Fergie's main skill as a manager is how to use more cash than your rivals have.

    No. He's never had instant success really. Give him a few years and he probably would.

    Yah, I reckon he could get them to the playoffs for these reasons alone, but Fergie has never had instant success like Dan said. He needs to build a team and the players need to learn his ideology first. Coventry would not be winning the Championship no, but I think he could get them to the playoffs.

    Chelsea broke Man U's dominance when they vastly outspent Fergie. City are still getting their act together, once the dust has settled they'll overtake Ferguson's United.

    No way.

    If we're saying that he can't loan in any Man Utd players or w/e like that....then he'd be lucky to finish top half with Coventry's team.

    Since Fergie has been manager i very much doubt Chelsea and Man City have spent more than him the fact they have done it over a few seasons rather than 20 years means Fk all.

    Arguably the greatest manager in history. He would get the most out the players they have and dominate tactic wise against other Championship managers. Can't say for sure but I reckon he would. His very presence at Coventry will allow for better players to be brought in or loaned.

    Definitely not. I bet it would take him a whole season to get used to working with a bunch of players who aren't used to winning most games.

    But imagine the pull he'd have. Every player linked would join Coventry. He'd get all the best youngsters from Man U, no questions asked. He would be able to build a squad capable of winning inhalf a season, so even if in January they werent doing so well they'd probably come back and get into the playoffs...

    Fergie is a great manager when he has established stability and continuity. I don't think he's a miracle man so I think it would take him time to impose his ethos on the club and get the best out of his squad. Maybe 2 years.

    Well when he joined they didn't have the greatest team or the most amount of money in the league. Also he's good at motivating his team and can instill that winning mentality. Probably wont get promotion in the first year give it about 3.

    Since Abramovich bought Chelsea, United have won more League titles than Chelsea. Also, since the Arab money flowed into Manchester City, United have won more League titles than them. This despite being outspend over those periods. Don't let facts get in the way of a good trolling though.

    Not totally sure about the 60, and 70,s wages but they spent a few quid, But in the 80,s going abroad esecially Italy thats where the big cash was.

    Like the facts that no manager at Chelsea has been given a proper chance to build their team except maybe Mourinho. Which I also think while he was at Chelsea they won more titles then United.

    Put it this way, if the same amount of money had gone into Chelsea, but from a different, more understanding owner, I think Chelsea would be out of your sights by now.

    Like I said with City, the money has just come in and they're doing things a bit differently to Chelsea. They've made constant progress since the money came in, and I think once they get that first title there'll be a lot more to follow.

    Shankly didnt sign many players in his first few years at Liverpool he just brought the right couple of players which then came success then we were able to build on that because with the success came the money my point still stands. everton had all the money in those days and the success they had from it still had a big red cloud over it.

    Agree with that apart from Chelsea being out of sights, they have 16 more titles to go before they can even compare themselves to utd or Liverpool

    I don't think there's ever been as much competition for United as there is now, or will be soon.

    Ferguson has hardly ever had a serious rival.

    Through the 90's who was there? Just clubs having their 15 mins of fame, like Blackburn who played Ferguson at his own game and beat him but couldn't keep up with that sort of spending.

    Then Arsenal pushed up to Fergusons level just with a great team. But then Wenger went off the boil as players left, now they're also rans.

    Chelsea came in with REAL money and what happened? Man U's dominance was broken. But Abramovich got in the way.

    NOW, You have City spending ridiculous money. Then there's Chelsea who could be looking to settle with Villas Boas and starting to spend big again.

    I think things are about to change. It's a shame it's came so late though because I think if I'm starting to be proved right Fergie will pussy out and retire with people calling him the best ever, when really he was the best of shite competition.
