SIR ALEX has sent a warning to Manchester United successor David Moyes that the key to success at Old Trafford is harmony throughout the club, especially in hard times.
The
Red Devils currently sit in ninth place in the Premier League table,
with the 50-year-old enduring an unspectacular start to life at the
club, but the recently retired Ferguson was keen to stress the
importance of pulling together.
"Three things are very important
when you are working with them [coaching staff] - work ethic, loyalty,
philosophy," said the former United boss at the 10th Uefa Coach
Education Workshop in Budapest.
"You all have to be singing the
same tune, no matter how bad the tune is. It’s important that your
people agree with you and the way that we at United wanted to play, that
was very important."
Ferguson, who was famed for his 'hairdryer
treatment' during his 26 years in charge of United, says he was forced
to tame his temper in the latter stages of his career.
"The human beings I've dealt with are far more fragile than the human beings of 30 years ago," he added.
"And
I say that in a good sense because they're coming from better
conditions. I couldn't lose my temper the way I did back then with
people nowadays.
"Sometimes it's about inspiring to make players better than they are and the best that they could have been."
