Ferguson gives way! Liverpool is England's greatest team, with next goal of 21 championships

Share Carragher's column after winning the championship at Liverpool: "Ferguson gives way, Liverpool is the greatest club in England indisputable." The following is the original text:

With its first Premier League championship, Slott "scored" one of the most famous equalizer goals in Anfield history (tying 20 titles). Liverpool can proudly call themselves a record-breaking champion again.

Admittedly, this is an honor they must share with Manchester United for the time being, with the two giants in English football tied 20-20. However, Slott has made Manchester United's advantage empty and has important symbolic significance, and everything about Manchester United is attributed to Sir Ferguson's genius.

Slott's success ended the debate about the most successful clubs in England. Adding Anfield's six Champions League trophys with 20 league trophys, Old Trafford's final rebuttal was self-defeating.

In 1973, Shankley won the club's eighth championship trophy for Liverpool, officially kicking off Liverpool's successive championships.

For 36 years, Liverpool fans have been boasting about their advantage in the league to declare their overall crush on their biggest opponent, although by the mid-1990s and the turn of the century it sounded increasingly like a tribute to the glory of the past.

May 2009 was the lowest point in my career when Manchester United beat us to win the 18th league title.

This was a frustrating blow to everyone at Anfield, and Ferguson had no cover for chasing Liverpool, which was rightfully so, and Manchester United fans were also excited about it.

我们必须接受长期以来的惩罚。

14 years before that, in the defending season of the first champion of the United Ferguson era, they came to Anfield as Premier League champions and were greeted by a contemptuous Kop banner.

read: "When you win 18 championships, come and sing the 'Cantona Song'."

At that stage, Manchester United has won eight times, and at Anfield and Old Trafford, they still need to endure the "18-Crown" shouts.

曼联人的记忆是美好的。 When they came to Anfield after winning the 18th championship, Manchester United fans wore Cantona's mask and shouted Cantona's name in response to the ridicule of Liverpool fans that year.

By May 2011, things got worse, with Manchester United winning their 19th title. Giggs summed up the joy at the time: "It means a lot, especially for the older generation of fans, who watched Liverpool win everything in the 1970s and 1980s. Now, things are clearly turning back,"

We were ranked sixth at the time. In 2013, shortly before I played my last game for Liverpool, United won their 20th victory. Led by new coach Rodgers, we were seventh at the end of the season, 28 points behind the top.

If you asked me on the day I retired, how long it would take for Liverpool to catch up with Manchester United's championship numbers, my honest answer is: It may not be possible in my lifetime.

We are far apart on and off the court. United have the best head coaches, they are a few streets away from us every year in game day and business revenue, and they have everything they need to keep moving forward. In an era when Chelsea and Arsenal have been ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City have just become one of the richest clubs in the world, today’s Anfield victory looks like a distant fantasy.

The opponents have been mocking us for "living in the past", and now, we can never hear such words again.

Fenway kicks off Anfield's golden age

Whenever I hear criticism of Liverpool boss Fenway Sports Group, I feel confused and occasionally annoyed, which is the biggest reason. Fenway Sports Group has made an extraordinary transformation over the past 15 years, and now Liverpool has surpassed Manchester United's business revenue. The huge difference between the club

FSG bought at the beginning and Liverpool in 2025 is shocking, and its most important signing decision has paid off incredible returns. In addition to Manchester City, every Premier League club and many clubs in Europe are studying how Liverpool has used their resources to replicate success. It has received a lot of honors since Liverpool won the first trophy of the Fenway era in 2012, especially since Liverpool won the Premier League twice in the last five years, and it looks like the future is full of hope, which is indeed an Anfield golden age.

No one believed that Fenway could find someone to succeed Klopp and win the league title directly. Let's be honest about the fact that when everyone was welcoming Slott last summer, saying he might be the "New Paisley", people had more romantic hope than absolute confidence in him. But Slot has proven right to be on par with Shankley's legendary successor, and he and the top leaders must be proud of his success in what failed Manchester United. History has proven how difficult it is to replace a great coach.

Slott has become the tenth head coach to lead Liverpool's league championship, which shows that Anfield has produced many coaching talents. At Manchester United, Ferguson and Sir Busby won 18 of Manchester United's 20 titles.

After having a great season with Guardiola, Klopp and Arteta last season, Slot's championship will be seen as a return to normal. He leads Liverpool to the top with a savvy way, just like 95% of the champion coach.

His team played great football early in the season, including defeating European champions, Spanish champion Real Madrid and Bundesliga champion Leverkusen. The gains and losses of the

League Championship depends on the critical period from early November to early March of the following year, and the difficult schedule for survival of the fittest around Christmas. Liverpool had 14 wins and six draws over the period, while Manchester City and Arsenal failed to keep up. It was a decisive period, including Liverpool's team that won the championship for four consecutive years at home and away. This is the champion.

By the final sprint stage, the game was actually over, and the championship lacking suspense gave people an unfair impression that Liverpool's football is not so exciting to some extent. Like every great champion, Liverpool has won the right to do what they have to do. There is a reason why the league is called "bread and butter" and the extravagant and expensive meal is a cup final or UEFA Champions League night. Winning the league has nothing to do with the Michelin-star banquet, but whether it is during the sunshine in August, the biting winter, and the most intense matches with the climax, repeating what they should do.

Liverpool was far ahead in the standings in the final weeks, which seemed simple but not easy. Other teams should reflect on their shortcomings rather than blame the best teams and well-run clubs.

Slott handled Salah, Van Dijk and Arnold's contract issues with wisely, which bodes well. He has a way to resolve the dispute and shift his attention to the training ground and the court.

Salah and Van Dijk promised to play for another two years, which laid the foundation for Liverpool to continue to maintain a high level.

After playing alongside Liverpool's 18 titles in 2009, Ferguson once said: "Winning 18 titles is a great achievement, but I think it would be better if it could go further than Liverpool and win 19 titles, which must be our goal now."

By letting Liverpool tie Manchester United's 20 titles, Slott has secured his position in club history and will take the "20" convertible bus to the parade. Once many celebrations are over, all eyes will be turned to the "21" bus schedule.
