Having spent my life as a collegiate men's soccer coach (now retired) I dove into the book looking for ideas that worked for him throughout his legendary career.
There were no real surprises as basically a professional manager needs two things: money and money to buy or develop players.
It was interest to learn of the inner workings of the professional manager in terms of the buying and selling of players as well as how players were developed by Man U. His chapters on his dealings with star players (Beckham; Ronaldo; Gibbs, etc.) lent insight as to his expertise in making their individual skills harmonize with the team's goals.
Ferguson also shared how important it was for the manager to work closing with the administrative side of a club. It is obvious that he was as skilled at "office politics" as he was in choosing lineups for the various league, European and international competitions Man U competed in.
Perhaps one tiresome aspect of the book as Ferguson's need to "name drop" as it seemed he knew of every football coach, owner, media person or referee in England and on the continent and felt a need to mention them in the book. Also the book seemed a bit disorganized as an anecdote appeared and then reappeared later on.
But if you lover soccer, it is a "must read," warts or not. Football at the level Ferguson engaged in is an extremely competitive proposition and after his sharing of his life in it, it is easily apparent as to why he was one of the most successful managers in the history of the sport.
