But it must sting to watch a total collapse. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm starting to question how good Fergie really was. He had a very good back staff team around him. If Moyes hadn't changed things so much would the results be as bad?
Ferguson's biggest strength was to get players motivated to attack effectively, all the time. Whether that's through fear or encouragement or by whatever means. Tactically he was never particularly great but he never needed to be.
