Talk:Joe Fagan

"The Treble"
It's too contentious to assert that Fagan won "the treble". He won A treble. If there is a definitive "treble" in English football, then it is either the League, FA Cup and League Cup (never achieved) or the League, FA Cup and European Cup (achieved by Manchester United in 1999). But neither of those is universally regarded as THE treble. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.172.31.70 (talk) 23:58, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * A very good point. There is no definitive "treble" in English football, only a "double" which is of course the League Championship and FA Cup as achieved on several occasions including Man U in 1999 and Liverpool in 1986 a year after Fagan's retirement. Man U's 1999 "treble" was actually "the double plus the European Cup". The "trebles" won by Fagan, Ferguson and Gerard Houllier were "three major trophies in a single season" achievements and each should be termed "A treble" as you have suggested. The most outstanding achievement of all, never yet accomplished, would be the "grand slam" of winning all four major trophies in a single season. GnGn (talk) 09:34, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

LFC Story source
Much of the article as written is a straight copy from this obsolete source which exists only via Wayback. That cannot be right, especially as there are errors and inconsistencies which have been transcribed too. I think the article needs a complete rethink and a fresh start with anything from that source removed. Any takers? I can get some of the books easily enough and take it on myself but happy to work with anyone who is also interested. Thanks. Ziggy (talk) 04:57, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It seems that a lot of the dubious content was introduced by an editor who was later blocked so it may be safer all round to effectively do what the song says and start all over again. My copy of the "Reluctant Champion" biography has just been delivered so I'll use that to try and make some headway. Any help much appreciated. Ziggy (talk) 12:31, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Decision to retire
Was the decision to retire prompted by the Heysel disaster (as is suggested implicitly by the current wording of the article, but not stated explicitly) or was it made independently of that tragedy? Grover cleveland (talk) 02:56, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
