The role of workers in the football history of English football indeed can not be eliminated. � Not just a matter of support base, but also about the coach. The best managers ever present on British soil are those with a working class background, like Bill Shankly, Jock Stein, Brian Clough, or Matt Busby.
The trainers are said to have gained an honest ethos and hard work from their families and neighborhoods. The desire to escape poverty and hardship also teaches them to help each other and the community.
However, with an increasingly abundant money, it is difficult to find traces of the working class in the current era of the Premier League. The players with a salary that skyrocketed as if estranged from supporters who must spend money not to see his favorite team play. Similarly, the trainers. It is rare for coaches to grow and gain the values of the mining or port worker environment.
It could be said that the last coach with a working-class background was Alex Ferguson.�
"My father is a" leftist "and so are most of the people I come from, I grew up from a working-class area in the city of Glasgow, and I am very aware of the meaning of the community and how families and communities help each other. in the shipyard and have been involved in the union, I also grew up with the belief that Labor is a working-class party, and up until now I still believe it, "Fergie said in an interview with political magazine New Statesman.�
Not just adhering to the values of the working class, Fergie also did not hesitate to politics.�Ia even good friends with Alastair Campbell, Director of Communications and Strategy Tony Blair, former British prime minister of the Labor Party.ï¿ ½At the time when the Labor Party was having trouble and being attacked by various parties, Fergie would call his friend and give support. The coach who gave his chair to David Moyes was also not reluctant to praise Tony Blair's speech in the British media.
There is one other thing that also gives Fergie strong influence on his political choice, his mother.
"My mother died in November 1986 (the era of the Conservative Party-red), or some time after I handled Manchester United She was hospitalized at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow, but the place was really bleak, unkempt, intended for people who do not have self-esteem.It has been a lifetime for me to see how the Labor Party works to provide health insurance for ordinary people, while the Conservatives are concerned only with high-ranking officials.The health insurance system is much better when handled by the Party Labor, "he added.
Because of his mother's condition, too, Ferguson is often said to hate Margaret Thatcher, the conservative prime minister who led Britain in the period 1979-1990.
In leading the team, Fergie himself often apply the ethics of socialism that is indeed close to the working class. This is primarily to help its players to adapt to money and fame. For him, a manager's job is to keep his players on the ground.
Ferguson also explained, "I repeatedly told my players that what made them a footballer was hard work �etos�, and they should never lose it.I told them that if they went home to meet their mothers, their mothers should meet the same people as before, otherwise their mothers will be disappointed. "
Given his words it is no wonder if the relationship and Ferguson and one of his favorite players, David Beckham, deteriorate. In his biography, the coach who earned two Champions League titles with United also explained, "David is the only player I choose to be famous for." He made his popularity as his mission.
Ferguson is famous for the principle that there should be no players bigger than his own team.
"The most important thing is the team, I can lead and give direction, but the team should stick together.This means making them grow together, and make them stay in the same room and get the best from each other," said Alex Ferguson .
