Oh I think you are being a unfair once again bro. So are you saying the generation of Law, Giles, Bremner, Charlton, Hunter, Clarke, Lee, Bell, Marsh, Moore, Ball, Hunt etc was just plain Wimbledon and Bolton? Oh and did you catch Best's performances in the European Cup games?
Bob Paisley no doubt deserves to be up there amongst the all time best managers of English Club football together with the likes of Don Revie, Matt Busby, Brian Clough, Herbert Chapman, Stan Cullis and of course Shanks. In fact it was a shame that he was never knighted for his contributions to the game. But Fergie still stands out among the very best with that big treble in 1999 and 10 league titles (hate to say it and counting perhaps), something which even Bob was unable to achieve during his illustrious tenure at Anfield.
Your statement is fair.
My statement on Georgie is based on the state of English football at that time. Long punts, brute strengths, no flair. So currents mediocre EPL players like eg Fletcher, Oshea or even Phil Neville can be the George Best during the period.
Best has the benefit of naive English defenders & thats where he waves his "magic". Sadly to say, he didnt play for any top European club except some retirement MSL clubs. So where do we draw his greatness from? Of coz many people did not see his "greatness". But I did. I did also see Pele & Cruyff's greatness as well& I would rate them better than Best.
As for Fergie achievements, i can only honor Paisley. probably the most successful manager in Britain. And he's done it with only the British Isles players, a feat not likely to be emulated.
