Bravo.
I assumed the LOL was because the only serious debate is whether SAF is above, or only equal to, Busby, Shankly, Chapman etc, on the tier above Paisley, Clough etc.
For me, SAF wins because he has had WAY more success than any of the other manages who built their club (back) up from virtually nowhere. Paisley's achivements owe much to Shankly; Fergie's are all his own.
