Just saw a @neonmanagement 'Ibiza Final Boss is going on Tour!' post, and if he's not DJing under the show name of 'Friar Fucks' Monastery of Sound' I'll be heavily disappointed.

SAF's legacy was never taking unknowns and turning them into greats. He wasn't an archetypal 'coach'.
He instilled winning mentalities into already-talented players and made them the best.
Tactics, scouting... not really his bag. But he was still the best ever at what he did.

That although Sir Alex Ferguson was a brilliant motivator, man manager and club totem...
By the end of his reign, his talent recognition for players not yet established (although no doubt somewhat affected by Glazernomics) wasn't what it was.
From the summer of 2008 onwards, fresh off winning the Champions League, these were the players aged 25 or under that Ferguson signed permanently:
-Zoran Tosic
-Ritchie De Laet
-Antonio Valencia
-Mame Diouf
-Gabriel Obertan
-Bebe
-Chris Smalling
-Chicharito
-Anders Lindegaard
-David De Gea
-Phil Jones
-Frederic Veseli
-Shinji Kagawa
-Nick Powell
-Angelo Henriquez
-Alex Buttner
-Wilf Zaha
With the obvious exceptions of Antonio Valencia, Chicharito and David De Gea...
That's not a great hit rate!
