Gamut of emotions?

Anything, you name it.

As we can imagine, when one has been that long at a great club as United, which itself is a miracle, one certainly will have seen it all.

First of all, when you’re that long in coaching, you must have won some and lose some. Actually Ferguson won a lot – 17 Premiere League titles, among others. When he wins, he’s happy. No doubt about that.

When he loses a match, he’s mad, as any competitive coach will be. And Ferguson isn’t just any competitive coach, of course. The fact that he mostly wins only helps make losing so much more miserable to him – that’s a law of nature. When Ferguson is angry, he sometimes gives his players what is widely known in soccer circles as a hairdryer treatment.

Hairdryer treatment?

Yeah, he shouts at you right in your face, his breaths on you so clear and wholesome that they resembles the wind from the hairdryer that quickly dries your wet hair after a shower.

Sir Alex Ferguson is like that when he’s mad.

All right. What other emotions do you have in mind? Joy (from winning a match)?

Frustration (over drawing a winnable game or losing a draw-able one)?

Love (from the fans)?

Hatred (ditto above)?

Elation (over winning the European Cup)?

Depression (from losing three games in a row)?

Surprise?

Well, perhaps nothing surprises Sir Alex any more, but you get the picture. Whatever it is, he has experienced it. The man says so. After being in the manager’s hot seat of United for so long, he’s covered the full spectrum of human emotions.
