It is not healthy being a manager these days, admits boss
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has described how he measures his success at Old Trafford, and that is by the amount of silverware he has picked up.
The Scot also says that the managerial merry-go-round that goes on in modern day football is unproductive for clubs, and is the fault of the British press.
Ferguson told US-based satellite radio broadcaster Sirius XM: "I judge my success by trophies, we have a good record of that and a good history too.
"We are very ambitious to maintain that success. We know we have to perform to make sure we are always up there.
"It is not healthy being a manager these days. It is a results industry generated by a really aggressive press.
"The nature of the fans and owners have changed. Time is of the essence.
"You have good examples, at Manchester United and Arsenal, that if you give a manager time, it works.
"You can fulfil all your ideas and philosophies about how a team is run and how they play."
