So the S A F challenge or 'Sir' Alex Ferguson challenge is to emulate (or beat) ole red nose himself.
Ideals (follow best as possible)
Aim to bring youth players through - Ferguson often focused on bringing youth through, notably in 1995 with the likes of Giggs, Beckham, Neville, Scholes, **** to name but a few, aka Fergie's Fledglings.
Persuade long term players to become part of your backroom staff and/or managers - Scholes, Solskjaer, Bruce, Keane, Berg, Ince, Robson, Hughes, Strachan, Blanc, Robins etc
Pass Criteria (If I miss 1 then I have failed)
- Holiday until November 6th - Ferguson took over Man United on Novermber 6th 1986
- Take over the team 2nd bottom in the Premiership - United were 2nd bottom when Fergie took over
- Stay at this one club - Ferguson stayed at United until 2013
- Win a domestic cup within 4 seasons - Ferguson won his first cup vs Crystal Palace in 89/90
- Win a league title within 7 seasons - Ferguson won his first title in 92/93
- Win a league and cup double within 8 seasons - Ferguson won his first double with United in 93-94
