Chapter Chapter 4 in Football Management, 2010, pp 118-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We were awful at times but United gave Sir Alex that vital ingredient: time ... We seem to be wrapped up in getting instant success now. Would another manager, even at United, get the time that Alex was given to get things right? I’d like to think so, but I’m not sure. “But he got it right and people like me, who played for him, haven’t got a hope of copying what he’s done. He’s incredible.” Speaking ahead of the visit to Old Trafford, [Steve Bruce] added: “Even in the tough times when I first went there, he was driven, he was a winner. He made all of us who played for him better.” ( www.football.co.uk /manchesterunited)
