My five funniest manager quips... 1 KENNY DALGLISH: Kenny can be razor-sharp with his replies, as was highlighted after a 3-3 draw with Manchester United in 1988. Sir Alex Ferguson was complaining to radio reporters about decisions that had gone against his team. Kenny walked past, holding his baby daughter Lauren, and simply said: Youll get more sense out of her than him. Zip it up: Arsene Wenger Speaking his mind: Dalglish 2 ARSENE WENGER: When Ferguson claimed United were the better team in the 2002 title race, Arsenals boss had this reply: Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home. 3 SIR ALEX FERGUSON: I loved Fergusons press conferences, as hed always come out with a jewel. I remember one about Wenger: They say hes an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages. Ive got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast here who speaks five languages! Jewel: Sir Alex Ferguson was good value in his press conferences as manager of Manchester United 4 SAM ALLARDYCE: West Hams manager had his tongue in his cheek when, ahead of a game with Manchester City in 2012, he was asked if he saw himself competing at Champions League level. His reply? I wont ever be going to a top-four club because Im not called Allardici, just Allardyce 5 JOSE MOURINHO: This list would not be complete without a quip from the Chelsea manager. This was his reply in 2006 to whether he was feeling pressure in the title race: For me, pressure is bird flu; I am feeling a lot of pressure with the swan in Scotland. Im more scared of bird flu than football.
