Ferguson is apparently one these "bully" types as are guys like Capello and Scolari. Theyre from a different era but these guys didnt get to the top of the game without knowing a thing or two about tactics...the same as Big Jock....and Jim McLean.

Why are you trying to belittle what Stein done?

Show some respect and if it was all about fitness and such like,why are the likes of Maradona and Cruyff et al renouned for their skill? Erm maybe it's because they HAD SKILL like Stein was a BRILLIANT manager who transformed a group of losers into not only the greatest team in Scottish football history but one of the greatest in European football history.
