He is extremely controlling. Wants everything his way. What Beckham should wear, how he should cut his hair, how many days he should spend on his honeymoon, who should he marry and who should he not be with … Is this OK for you? And he would get away after physically assaulting him? For SAF, everything was always about himself.
Arsene Wenger on the other hand is so different. He only controlled what people ate (and that too, through education and not “enforcement”). I never hear any such stories about him. He too was a winner, wasn’t he? But completely different style of management.
Seems Ferguson controlled through fear while Arsene Wenger coached through love.
While I can’t disagree with the above, you aren’t comparing like for like periods and specifically the stadium build era until around 2013.
If you look at Wenger, he spent alot post 2013, when Fergie was retired and other managers were spending at old Trafford. Likewise Wenger started late 1996 so Fergies transfers pre Wenger were cheap compared to modern transfer fees.
