I'm surprised no one's reported Dillion for referring to mancs as monkeys.
Fergie is the best manager of my generation, I've no doubt. It will be some time before anyone emulates his achievements. The trophies he's won surpasses any manager I know. That all being said, I won't put him in the same class as Shankly, who took a club languishing in the old second division to the summit of European. Along with Paisley, he physically painted the clubhouse even. The status of Shankly doesn't just represent his achievement in terms of winning trophies, it also represents the values he's instilled at the club. It represents a man from humble beginnings who "made the people happy". How many managers offer free tickets to fans, or invite strangers into his home to discuss football? One distinct difference between him and Fergie is that he was extremely witty and he had class. Just google his quotes.
Instead of calling Everton a "small club" for example (like Rafa did. He was duly criticised by Fergie who in turn later called City a small club with a small mentality), he chose to say to Alan Ball, "At least you'll be playing close to a great team". Shanks in my opinion is in a league of his own.
