If the manager of your club left tomorrow, who would you like to replace him?

Mgoraf

MON is a name mentioned quite alot when talking about a replacement for Fergie. But I think him, along with David Moyes would do a very good job. I really rate Moyes as a manager and he has done very well in the transfer market too.

Between the two, I think I'd like Moyes.

mayordenis

Wenger. obviously wouldn't happen in a month of sundays.

One Cold Hand

If MON left Villa, I'd replace him with Fergie.

You'd be great. Mr. Alan as your assistant?

To replace Fergie I'd probably have to go with Mourinho even though I can't stand the man I still think he'd be the best for the club.

He has already experienced what it's like to be at a big club and win PL's and CL's. He's done it all. And he commanded huge respect from his players.

The only problem I'd have with him apart from not really liking him as a person would be his defensive syle of play, that's not the United way and I doubt he'd be able to change his style.

Actually, that's a big negative now that I think about it. Maybe MON is the man after all.

Tom65

Yeah, I'd go MON for United as well. I wouldn't mind Mourinho, but as deisedevil said, he can be a bit too defensive at times.

Bounty Hunter

I honestly dont think any manager is as suited to the Villa job as MON is now so if he had to be replaced itd be very hard, maybe David Moyes or if a bit down the line and Villa's improvement continues maybe a continental name like Deschamp but atm I wouldent swap MON for anyone

The Special One.

Jose Mourinho please come back to the Premier League. We need you.

MON, Special1, Fergie and Moyes are all quality, But if ur not one of the big 4 and are willing to take a chance then Roberto di Matteo from MK Dons is a class act although unproven at the highest level. One to watch I,d say. Very tricky to find the right manager best suited to a particular club. E.g. As mentioned above MON is proper suited to Villa, Where as Ince was not for Blackburn etc

Jose all the way or Hiddink.

Mitch Connor

i'd go for Mourinho to replace Fergie (as, apparently, Fergie has). While i don't like the defensive bias to his game, he is the same type of manager as Fergie imo. Builds a seige mentality around the club, commands the respect of all the players, gets involved in every aspect of the club, which is important with the youth setup, and is great a boosting the confidence of the players.

Highsider

Hiddink. Will never happen as Rafa's going nowhere

ShooterSF

I'd like to see MON take over from Fergie but with him doing so well at Villa I wonder if his head could be turned.

After that unlike some United fans here I'd hate to see Mourinho at Old Trafford. I guess rivalries don't hold with some people today and that's fine but it would be like us having Terry, Gerrard or Henry playing for us. It'd just rub me up the wrong way. Then there's the whole negativity of his tactics and his big mouth. :shudder:

I'd love Rafa to take over at Villa if MON left, so he could see what it's like to be a big club.

If Wenger left, we'd be royally fúcked! I'm gonna go with Pep Guardiola, not very much experience, but he has Barcelona playing the football of their lives and wouldn't drastically change our style of play...no chance of getting him though!

Hiddink or Mourinho

Killme00

Carlos Querioz.

Unearthly

Mourinho

Only manager today I'd be confident and assured wouldn't screw up the work Ferguson has done.

Gotta give it to you there, Guardiola is the new big name now. Wonderful job he's done with Barca, funnily he put the bite/bitterness/steel into that team that they were missing under Rijkaard, and the funny thing is thats what made Rijkaard extra special as a footballer himself.

Wenger is irreplaceable

as much as i admire the man, no he's not.

haven't really a notion who could come in and do better though. but for some reason Didier Deschamps comes to mind...

PHB

If Fergie left, I'd want Mourinho to take over once he commits to expansive football He is the only manager who has that special arrogance that Fergie has that makes him a winner.

If we didn't get Mourinho, I'd like to promote from within and choose Carlos Querioz (even though he's no longer within)

If MON does manage to get into the top 4, I'd consider it.

Liverpool - MON

Dubliner28

Everton - O'Neill

As an Everton fan it would be a disaster if Moyes left but in fantasy world i would pick Carlo Ancelloti.

If Fergie retired I would love Hitzfeld to take over United.

Manchester United

If Fergie left, its gotta be either Bruce, Wenger or Mourinho (in that order).

Bohemians

Anyone but Collins!!!!!

31 posts in and no-one wasnt Pat Dolan? for shame...

I can't believe how many United fans would welcome Mourinho taking over at the theatre of dreams. Surely there are some Man Utd fans out there who despise the fecker as much as I do :pac: The guy's interviews make him a laughing stock and his tactics are worthy of George Graham at his finest.

Sligo Rovers
Probably Arsene Wenger

if rafa was a big club he'd have to increase his mass exponentially. i mean it would be horrible inside too. blood and guts everywhere, tacos on the pitch, tequila in the bladder. it'd be a mess.

if you are going to troll then dont make a big mess of it. you could end up looking pretty stupid

ugh, making me forget why i opened this thread in the first place.
anyway.. i know this might sound bad and evil but if rafa was to leave pool then i wouldnt mind mourinho taking over. i know i know, but i think he could redeem himself with a big shiny premier league trophy

further edit - or slaven bilic cos hes a rockstar!

IvySlayer

Steve Staunton.

*sniggers*

Sorry, sorry, couldn't keep a straight face....

Anyway, I think Martin O'Neil would be brilliant. Mourinho of course deserves some recognition. Fergie is just brilliant, what he did for Aberdeen and Man Utd, no-one can possibly replicate that. I also think Phil Brown is underated.

Luis Rodriguez

If Kinnear left, I think I would be overcome with joy to even contemplate who we should get.

mourinho is the only manager i would like to take over at united, end of story. the lad is a proven winner.

not a great choice for shels to be fair.

Of course I would. Right now, we are about as attractive as a $2 hooker, to prospective managers. If someone was to come in, they would have to be doing so not because it's a 'job' but because they hold a strong affection for both the club and City. There are very fe around like that right now, but KK would be one of them.

To think back to what he had us playing at Old Trafford on the opening day, it really is depressing.

I'll whisper this but Maureen for me. Or Martin Jol (seriously).

everdead.ie

Well if harry sorry 'Arry left i'd like to see klinsmann take over
