Mike Phelan says he was effectively the manager of Manchester United during his and Sir Alex Ferguso

[Grams and Ounces]

Former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan claims he was a manager in all but name for his last five years at Old Trafford.

The 51-year-old was Alex Ferguson’s right hand man since replacing Carlos Queiroz in 2008, having been the club’s first team coach for the preceding seven years, but insists his responsibilities were more than that of an obedient understudy.

Phelan, who also won a Premier League title and FA Cup as a player under the Scot, has been out of work since David Moyes took charge in the summer and made wholesale changes to the coaching staff.

Typical Daily Mail article where they twist words and exaggerate to sell papers. It's known throughout the world that Ferguson was a manager and not a coach. Phelan done the coach exercises on the pitch and stuff. This is probably a mixture of Daily Mail twisting words and Phelan trying to get employed.

Good point about it being the Mail, it is a terrible newspaper, I actually saw the story on a different site that linked to the mail site and it didn't even register in my brain when i saw it last night that it was the Daily Mail.
