The Experiment
In this experiment I will be putting each member of the Class Of 92 into the managers position at Manchester United, They will take charge from the 1st July 2015 and will have the stats that they start with. I will not edit anything, It will be up to them to decide on who they buy and sell in the Transfer Market. The idea is to see who has the most successful career and who wins the most Trophies. If any member of the Class Of 92 is sacked then i'm afraid that's curtains for them in this experiment.
Louis Van Gaal will unfortunately be released as he currently sits in the managers chair. I have also released Ryan Giggs from his Assistant Managers role as I want the Class Of 92 to choose their own Assistants. If they choose to hire Giggs or another member of the Class Of 92 then that is fine.
I will also be using the great Sir Alex Ferguson too. This is to see if he still has it in him to guide the club back to the glory days. (I've made him slightly younger so he doesn't retire after 1 season).
Can any member of the Class Of 92 outdo Sir Alex Ferguson? Can Nicky **** or David Beckham win the Champions League? Could either of the Neville brothers win a treble? Will Giggs be sacked after just one season? Let's see.
Class of 92 And Fergie's Fledglings Explained
Six incredibly talented youngsters emerged at Manchester United in the early to mid-1990s. This group proved worthier than the previous generation in comparisons with the Busby Babes in terms of the success they achieved as relatively young footballers. Each one was developed by Manchester United from a very early age, some signing schoolboy forms with the club at the age of just 14. Many of these players were part of the Manchester United team that won the 1992 FA Youth Cup, including future United regulars David Beckham, Nicky ****, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville. Also generally considered in this group are players such as Paul Scholes, an FA Youth Cup finalist in 1993 and Phil Neville – Gary's younger brother – who was a substitute in the 1993 FA Youth Cup Final and captained the team to the 1995 FA Youth Cup.
The term "Fergie's Fledglings" came back into common usage during the 1995–96 season, after Ferguson largely used this group of youngsters coming through to replace a number of distinguished older players who had left the club. Following a 3–1 opening day away defeat to Aston Villa, pundit Alan Hansen commented on Match of the Day "You'll never win anything with kids". The young side, with an average age of just 24, then went on to overturn Newcastle United's 10-point Christmas lead to win the club's third league title in four years. This was followed up by a 1–0 win over Liverpool in the 1996 FA Cup Final to secure the Double. A period of great success followed, the most outstanding triumph being The Treble in 1999.
Many of the so-called "Class of '92" became regulars for both club and country during this time. David Beckham, Nicky **** and Phil Neville moved on in 2003 (to Real Madrid), 2004 (to Newcastle United) and 2005 (to Everton) respectively, with Beckham also captaining England from 2000 to 2006. All three have since retired, with **** and Neville returning to United as members of the coaching staff.
Gary Neville remained at United for the rest of his career and held the post of team captain following the departure of Roy Keane in 2005, before injuries considerably reduced his appearances, prompting his retirement in February 2011. Upon the announcement, Sir Alex Ferguson described Neville as "the greatest English right back of his generation." Neville is the club's second most capped defender, after Bill Foulkes. Neville received a testimonial match in 2011, also attended by five other "Fergie Fledglings": Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, ****, and Phil Neville. Gary Neville is currently first-team coach for the England national team.
Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes both played their entire Premiership careers for Manchester United. Scholes announced his retirement at the end of the 2010–11 season, remaining at the club as a youth coach, but made a return to playing duties in January 2012 after several United midfielders were brought down by injury before retiring again at the conclusion of the 2012–13 season. Giggs has now won more major trophies than any other player in English football history. Coming on as a substitute in the 2008 UEFA Champions League final, he became the club's all-time appearance record holder. The previous holder was Sir Bobby Charlton, the longest serving of the Busby Babes. Giggs is currently the assistant manager of Manchester United.

As you can see from above I have a clear way to plot who has won what trophy and how many of each. Hopefully this will be full up by the time this experiment comes to a close. I have nearly done the first season for everybody. This is 7 saves I have done today, I'm knackered. I will be sticking to this as it intrigues me. I know my story track record has been pretty awful this year but worry not I will commit to this. I'm hedging bets on who will be sacked first... Sneaky spoiler... no one has been sacked yet and I have only Fergie's first season to go.
