To all United fans. If you are real ones take the TIME to read this. You bunch of spoilt whinging tits. Youve banged on about history rubbing all our noses in it for the last 2 decades? Well heres 6 years of it Ive just taken from Wiki about Sir Alex. 6 years of football and signings it took him to win the league. 6 years. And you want it all back in 9 months. I wonder? Are you about glory or are you about football. 1986–87 Ferguson was appointed manager at Old Trafford on 6 November 1986. United finished the season in 11th place 1987–88 season, United finished in 2nd place, nine points behind Liverpool. However, Liverpool’s points lead had been in double digits for most of the season. The 1988–89 season was a disappointment for them, finishing eleventh in the league and losing 1–0 at home to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup Sixth Round. They had begun the season slowly, going on a nine-match winless run throughout October and November (with one defeat and eight draws) Another run of disappointing results in the final quarter of the season saw them fall down to mid table. For the 1989–90 The season began well but Uniteds league form quickly turned sour. In September, United suffered a humiliating 5–1 away defeat against fierce rivals Manchester City. Following this and an early season run of six defeats and two draws in eight games, a banner declaring “ hree years of excuses and its still crap ... ta-ra Fergie. was displayed at Old Trafford, and many journalists and supporters called for Ferguson to be sacked. United ended the decade just outside the relegation zone. Ferguson later revealed that the board of directors had assured him that they were not considering dismissing him. Although United’s league form improved greatly in 1990–91, they were still inconsistent and finished sixth. The 1991–92 season did not live up to Ferguson’s expectations and, in Ferguson’s words, many in the media felt that [his] mistakes had contributed to the misery. A shortage of goals and being held to draws by teams they had been expected to beat in the second half of the campaign had proved to be the undoing of United After a slow start to the 1992–93 season (they were 10th of 22 at the beginning of November) it looked as though United would miss out on the league title (now the Premier League) yet again. However, after the purchase of French striker Eric Cantona fromLeeds United for £1.2 million, the future of Manchester United, and Fergusons position as manager, began to look bright. Cantona formed a strong partnership with Mark Hughes and fired the club to the top of the table, ending Uniteds 26-year wait for a League Championship, and also making them the first ever Premier League Champions. United had finished champions with a 10-point margin over runners-up Aston Villa, whose 1–0 defeat at Oldham on 2 May 1993 had given United the title. Ferguson was voted Manager of the Year by the League Managers Association.
