Sir Alex Ferguson is always calm when facing a loss as he believed that what's done cannot be undone. He also believes that the failing pass will lead to a successful future. It is also proven after the Manchester United massive loss to Manchester City during the Manchester derby back in the late 2011. During the interview with Sir Alex Ferguson, he stated that it was a 'big loss' and that his players will make changes as it affects them physically and mentally. Their mood will be affected by this loss which causes depression and dejected feeling of all the players. This causes them to take one step forward and take defeat as a source of motivation to do better in the future and to reshape their mood and to regain their lost honour.
Therefore, Sir Alex Ferguson implements the pain of defeat to motivate Manchester United's revival. After the tragic loss to Manchester City in the late 2011, Manchester United got back up with a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the start of the new season, 2012.

Communication
Sir Alex Ferguson was a two-way communicator. It is notable in Sir Alex Ferguson as he analyses and discusses the strengths and weaknesses during the game and come up with a special tactic together with the team captain and their players to counterstrike their strengths by attacking their weaknesses. This is the key to a comeback in the game.
One of the most stunning comeback from Manchester United is during a match with Chelsea in the 5th of February 2013, having trailed 3-0 for nearly an hour. After half-time, the superior Manchester United climbed back up by scoring 3 goals to held a draw at Stamford Bridge. Some say it was a miracle but I say it was precision and planning. The feel of loss had intrigued the players during half-time but hope weren't given away as the players of Manchester United's meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson was a very informative one which gave away Chelsea's defend and caused 2 penalty kicks and a header to a 3-3 draw.

According to Danny Mills, a football analyst, he said:
"When Chelsea went 3-0 up you thought 'that is it, game over'. But, as we know, United never give up. They got back in it with a soft penalty and then got another one which for me was not a penalty. That could be a turning point for them in the season."
I feel that there was an effective communication in Manchester United as Manchester United is well-known for making comebacks under such circumstances. I feel that Sir Alex Ferguson and his subordinates/players communicates well enough to plan an effective strategy to tackle problems under such circumstances which other team does not implement. This helps Manchester United to move up the table and win such number of trophies.
Loyalty and respect towards a manager is the key
towards success in an organisation.
