dumb post you can’t calculate ‘football inflation’ accurately in any sense
That’s in like 20+ years of Ferguson, right?
Can we not do this shit lol
I don’t mind the post OP but seriously who cares?
Good to see from the comments city fans aren’t deluded.
Post on r/soccer and drink in the tears
To be honest cant really compare :
– Ferguson played in an era were most teams were more equal
– He even coached before the “Bosman Law” were most of your players were “Home grew players” or English players. Because back then you were only allowed to deploy 2 international players and kept one at the bench , cant played the 3 of them at the same time until
it was change.
– Furthermore , Pep coach also in an era were football is constantly changing with rules. We have now VAR (yet they still put stupid people on it) , the 5 changes during and after COVID , and now you can have your whole squad display for the match , back then it was only 3 changes and you could only choose 6 players to be sub , now its your whole squad.
– You cant really compare them on transfers or who spend more or who did more with less money because at the end of the day , they both build dynasties for Manchester , and the Pep’s dynasty if he decided to stay longer , will eventually top the dynasty of Sir Alex Ferguson
– Pep started on the Premier League era of the “Top 6” , while Ferguson has been thru the Premier League revolution that was pretty much United vs Arsenal and any other teams that were up for the challenge.
I think it will be more accurate representation:
Every time transfer record has been broken:
1992: Alan Shearer (Blackburn)
1993: Roy Keane (Man Utd)
1994: Chris Sutton (Blackburn)
1995: Andy Cole (Man Utd)
1995: Dennis Bergkamp (Arsenal)
1995: Stan Collymore (Liverpool)
1996: Alan Shearer (Newcastle)
2000: Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd)
2001: Ruud van Nistelrooy (Man Utd)
2001: Veron (Man Utd)
2006: Shevchenko (Chelsea)
2008: Robinho (Man City)
2011: Torres (Chelsea)
2014: Di Maria (Man Utd)
2016: Paul Pogba (Man Utd)
2021: Jack Grealish (Man City)
2023: Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea)
2023: Caicedo (Chelsea)
My point here is that money matters, I am here neither to downgrade others or to upgrade us, we are lucky that we have owners who can provide financial support and management who can utilize it properly
pep guardiola is literally working with scraps. the goat manager. the greatest manager the world has ever seen.
These ‘adjusted for inflation’ metrics for spending are meaningless. You can’t compare.
Before Abramovic, teams didn’t go out and spend so much, and that includes United. United’s tactic was to rely on their pull and good wages, and it worked. They’d spend big when they wanted to, but the splurges that we did between 2009-2011 and 2016-2018 didn’t really happen in the premier league until Roman bankrolled Chelsea.
United only started following with that method after Fergie retired.
For what it’s worth, I pulled transfer spend figures from transfermarkt a few months ago to see who had spent the most season by season, but I only went back to our first year back in the prem of our current run (02/03).
The data is limited to just inbound transfers and doesn’t account for wages, but my findings were that City have been biggest spenders in a season 6 times in that period, United have been biggest 3 times but only once pre 2013 (in the 02/03 season, where their spend of €48.53 million represented 14.65% of league spending that season). Chelsea are biggest spenders across that spell by the way; they’ve been biggest spenders in 10/21 seasons that I looked at.
How do they calculate inflation
Who would except such cringe posting form u/Too-horny-to-handle I for one am shocked
I hate rags, Pep is GOAT, but I don’t want to take anything from Fergie.
They prolly “he was worth 20 mil so in todays market he would be worth 100 mil” type shit
If Alex Ferguson was manager for over 20 years that means if Pep continues spending at same rate he will spend about the same or a bit more upto 4 billion even if he manages for another 12 years plus
Very stupid comparison for a bunch of obvious reasons
I mean, c’mon, pep is known to buy big players. He has sure created some absolute monsters, but you can’t deny he buys some big players.
This doesn’t tell us anything.
It doesn’t even show how much the opposition/rest of the league spent relative to City/United, for example
Imagine thinking Slur Alex Ferguson > Guardiola. Even his own players like Rio and Neville said Pep is the GOAT. Dicked him twiiiiice in CL finals. He showed him absolute levels. Now he’s come to Ferguson’s own backyard and has proven to do it better than him in a much better Prem. Ferguson would’ve gotten annihilated by Klopp’s Liverpool. And if Pep wins a 4peat the discussion is officially over, then imagine if it’s with back to back CLs or even back to back trebles…oof.
Only Brits and Prem fanboys rate Ferguson over Pep. They’re so salty and bitter. Actual knowledge people always say Pep is the best ever.

26 seasons vs 7…this means nothing?

Mourinho> Klopp> Pep > Ferguson. Change my mind.
