What's your opinion on people who read books like this? Scumbags right?
Most people are chill
>>7391460
Who?
I would not like to have a conversation with somebody who unironically enjoys football. It is one of the worst things to happen to our working class. I hate it and it should be banned.
>>7391460
nope, usually just gullible normies (reeee). But theres nthing I hate more than managementspeak motivational platitudes. literally fuck that

lol thanks anon.
In some cases it's endearing. In other cases, such as in the cases of those faggots that are obnoxiously proud of having been accepted into a particular university, I am bitter.
People who read about things they enjoy?
Cunts.

My dad has that book.

Not being able to enjoy the joy of sport is the plebiest of pleb I'm afraid
>>7391501
>herp a derp I'm beyond pleb

Which one is the okay one?

Case in point.

My bad. Alright then three. My reply box was covering the last full stop.

Heidegger liked football
>>7396647
So did Camus
Watching football is one thing, but going so far as reading books about it is a bit too much.
>>7396688
It's not about football.

Why would people read an biography of Alex Ferguson if not for his football manager career?
>>7396698
I'm not sure if it's a biography, but point still stands.
>>7391460
Ferguson has been one of the most successful people leading a group or team in any field in recent years, so listening to his insights into how he was successful might be instructive. He's especially known for knowing how to get the most out of people, but also knowing when he'd hit a limit and had to create a fracture, as with Roy Keane or David Beckham. His judgment seems impeccable. Harvard recently got him to teach a seminar at their business school -- and they know what's up.

This made me laugh. In the past 20 years, football has gone from being a working-class sport to a global pastime, often with plenty of irony and self-criticism involved. I like how football becomes an occasion for restaging other issues -- like the residues of Franco in Real Madrid vs the separatist populism of Barcelona. Sid Lowe in the Guardian is pretty good on this stuff.

Baiting is truly the patrician jest

It's not a biography or an autobiography. It's a book about leadership skills in general. The man was a dominant and successful figure, managing strategy, tactics, the media, and some of the biggest egos in sport. The book is about a wider application of these skills.
