“Since the start of World War 1, Manchester United have employed 19 different managers, all of whom enjoyed varying degrees of success. It will come as no great surprise to discover that the most successful manager over the past 100 years has been Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, readers may be taken aback to learn that in terms of winning matches, the next most successful manager in that period was the universally derided David Moyes.

The Scot’s win ratio of 52.94 was bettered only by Ferguson’s 59.67, with the club’s other great manager, Sir Matt Busby, recording a win rate of just 50.45 during his 24-year reign.”

So in short, David Moyes’ winning percentage was actually better than that of the legendary Sir Matt Busby.

Now, the Munich aircrash had the “Busby Babes”. Not sure how that fits in.

Rented some movie from Redbox about 2 years ago on that Munich Aircrash, decent movie.

I swear, soccer is just like kissing your sister.

You get all worked up for it only to realize it was all for nothing...
