He is extremely controlling. Wants everything his way. What Beckham should wear, how he should cut his hair, how many days he should spend on his honeymoon, who should he marry and who should he not be with … Is this OK for you? And he would get away after physically assaulting him? For SAF, everything was always about himself.

Arsene Wenger on the other hand is so different. He only controlled what people ate (and that too, through education and not “enforcement”). I never hear any such stories about him. He too was a winner, wasn’t he? But completely different style of management.

Seems Ferguson controlled through fear while Arsene Wenger coached through love.

    The boot incident was an accident.

    There are many differences between SAF and Wenger, but the biggest is the amount of titles they each won…

        Look at the countless players who have nothing but praise for him.

        Roy Keane is hardly the best example of a sensible view either. The guy gets mad at quite literally everything.

        But the point is Ferguson’s methods were more effective. He got better results. Was he more ruthless? Probably. But it was for a reason, and the reason is titles and trophies.
