Bobby Charlton.. 'Fergie jealous of reds euro success'

FERGIE JEALOUS OF REDS EURO SUCCESS
Mark Platt 31 October 2006
The spectre of Liverpool's five European Cup triumphs will forever haunt Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson, according to Old Trafford director Bobby Charlton.

As Fergie prepares to celebrate 20 years in the United hot-seat next week, Charlton has revealed that the most successful manager of the Premiership era is jealous of Liverpool's proud record in the most prestigious continental cup competition.

"I think the fact that Bob Paisley (three times a winner) and Liverpool have won the European Cup more times probably grates on Alex a little bit.," he said.

"For the number of times we've been League champions, we've not taken it that stage further. I think he'd like to win at least one more European Cup."

Personal opiniong COTR - I'm sure he isn't that pissed off at Liverpool.

Where's the comments from Fergie then?

Poor.

I'm sure they were done in private... Still, the fact that your greatest player is pretty much admiting that you live in our shadow must be somewhat embaressing.


Even the "one more european cup" would only just push you past half as successful as us in Europe... But then we're discounting the 3 UEFA Cups.

Shaming really.

I think Booby Charlton maybe headed the ball once to often.

Duncan Edwards?

Wayne Rooney?



Of course Fergie's jealous. Who wouldn't be? I bet every manager in the league is jealous of Liverpool's achievements in Europe. This is utterly and completely normal.

Maybe he's not jealous..............maybe he's envious.

Fergie is a poor manager with a poor record for such a HUGE club!

... Too many days spent following the windmill blades I fear.

I think Fergie is the most overrated manager in England!

Don't be silly, dolt.

Aah, because he hurt the feelings of a few Dutchies.

Fergie > Hiddink.

Overrated ? he is the most successful domestically !

@Parkey

In Europe he has a shameful record that's why I say this!

He won things in England but most of his "success" was in the EXTREMELY poor EPL years, in the POOR 90's.... For the EPL!


Why you guys always try to find a comparison with something Dutch...

Fergy is of course not better than Hiddink that's the sickest comparison ever made...!

Ok then.

Well your dutch league is shit, so everyone who wins the league is shit.

Funny how though, his team were consistantly in the knock out rounds of the champions league season in season out.

why to compare with the Dutch situation....?

It is getting annoying! It has nothing to do with it either
