You can ask the same question why Ferguson was made Sir Alex Ferguson!?!? WTF did he do to deserve that, when better managers like Bill Shankly, Joe Fagan or Bob Paisley deserved it far more!
Congrats to Stevie G
For services to sport, IE. Winning domestic and european silverware with Aberdeen,leagues cups and european cup winers cup, uefa super cup etc.
Then winning the following with United:
Premiership - 8 times
Fa cup - 5
League cups- 2
Charity shield -5
Uefa super cup - 1
Intercontinentalcup- 1
Champions league - 1
European cup winners cup - 1
May not be 3 European cups but he is the only manager to win the treble of big trophies in one season and the most successful English manager of all time. Don't forget its harder to win the European cup today than it was years ago, nowdays its not the champions league but the runners up and third and sometimes 4th league. Not like when villa won in 1982 and you had to win the league only to get in. Less teams.
