They know the clubs workings better than most. Ole might have developed some contacts on the mainland from working with Molde. Never really rated Phelan but I wont see his impact till he's gone I'd imagine.

Could cause problems if Moyes doesn't get a good start, down the line ye I think it would be great but maybe not the best starting off.

Me too. Can pay via paypal or bank trans if anyone would be so kind

I believe Rooney will go this time. He won't be directly replaced with a new signing. I'd expect Kagawa to fill No.10 position

Moyes will probably attempt to bring over Baines or Fellaini.
Personally I think we could do with a versatile Midfielder like Fellaini
However I would prefer sombod with a bit more class, Modric or Marchisio

Team for Next Season

Im a huge fan of Kagawa. Thought he did an outstanding job for his first season at utd. Must be fair hard to settle in and still put in such a performances as he did

If Utd were to get Baines does that mean Evra is out the gate as well? I thought he has recovered this season and has got back to near his best,would it be possible to keep two top class left backs happy? Both at a stage where they have to be starting games.

DM_7

I can't see United buying Baines

If a need exists to fill a gap in the squad I can see Moyes going to an Everton player (cough**Fellaini**cough) otherwise he won't be bringing people in just because he has worked with them before. He won't burst in the door trying to force unnecessary changes.

Winston Payne

Evra, Buttner and Fabio should be left to fight it out between them over the course of the season for the position. Evra's the incumbent and it's his position to lose but I'd expect Buttner and Fabio both to receive opportunities to stake a claim for themselves.

GSPfan

Imagine United, City, and Chelsea will all probably have new managers next season. Its very exciting. Have never been so excited for a new season before the current one has finished.

Well Ole has experience under his belt and is a fan's favourite, talk of Phil Neville as assistant too.

RGDATA!

doesn't make sense for Ole if he wants to kick on as a manager. Has a big challenge defending his title in Norway after a terrible start to the season. I'd love to see him back but he'll probably learn more about himself as a manager if he sticks where he is for now.

I think Phil Neville or Gary Neville would be brilliant. Cant imagine Gary Neville doing it but it would be great.

I think Gary would be a bit of a risk, as he's got no experience, but a risk well worth taking. Doubt he'd do it with the WC in Brazil happening next summer though.

Pj!

It's not going to be Gary. Nor will it be Ole. Nor will it be Giggs.

UnitedIrishman

Don't mind if Phelan goes but hope we hold onto Rene. Great footballing brain and will keep some continuity there. Eric aswell as apparently he's worked hard with De Gea, even to the point of learning Spanish in order to get across terms properly. McClair, McGuinness and the rest in charge of youths will remain unchanged I'd imagine.

GSPfan

Fergie leaving is horrible. The rest, meh. Scholes should retire. Giggs should retire and become assistant manager. Fresh manager, fresh staff, fresh start.

I'm a glass half full kinda guy. Next season we will kill them all! (Team Spartacus).

jimjamcos

Do people think that Fergie will tell Moyes who's ready to be shipped out or leave the new manager to make his own mind up on his new players?

There's bound to be 1 or 2 players who Fergie was planning to move on. Be interesting to see if Moyes gives them 2nd chances.

I'm thinking Anderson and Nani primarily.

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan agreed to buy Manchester United for £11.5m in the 1980s - until his wife persuaded him it would be bad business.

That has to be bull****, purely for the fact that a self-made man like him can't have let his wife influence such a decision.

Wife: You're not buying that club - it would be bad business.
DW: Yeah, but like, it's the 1980s and I've £11.5m to spunk on a football team. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. Now make me a samich.

An Arsenal fan posts on Reddit

I hope this is welcome here, but I just wanted to say how exceedingly grateful I am for such a gesture and let you know that you should be proud of your club.
A couple of weeks ago, my younger (17) cousin was killed in a tragic road accident. Her 12-year-old brother was distraught and numb with grief. Nothing we could say or do could get him out of his shell. Even his light-hearted jibes to me about RVP being at a "proper" club lacked heart.
Two days ago, on the very day of the big announcement about Fergie's departure, my uncle answered a phone-call from a gruff Glaswegian voice, asking to speak to his son.
It was the man himself, who, to my United-mad cousin, is akin to a deity. Right up there alongside such mythical figures as Santa and Rob Lewis. He asked my speechless-relative how he coping, how he thought the season had went, who he thought should succeed as United manager and gave him tickets to the final home match of the season, against Swansea.
Ever since his call, my cousin has been star-struck and -more importantly- now seems to be in a much better place and is recovering from the mental trauma of his sister's death. He has come out of his shell and seems more like the care-free, footie-mad boy he was before.
So thanks to United, Sir Alex, and the staff from the very depths of my heart for making a young boy happy again. And to the fans - take pride in following such a classy club.

Old Trafford is gonna be some place to be tomorrow.

Al Capwned

- Enjoyed reading this.

For a while all seemed fine. For a while it was business as usual as yet another manager strode through the doors of Old Trafford to throw money at rubbish. These were the halcyon days of Mike Phelan and Jim Leighton and Clayton Blackmore. Mordor started to empty out and for a while they couldn’t even manage 40,000. We sat high on our perch and laughed our heads off.

Little did we know that far behind the scenes he was tearing down the old with the blazing passion of a fanatical zealot. Far away from the public view Sir Alex was mining for Orcs, and by the time they clambered into the light they were already an unstoppable force.

They were the Vandals and the Visagoths and the Gauls.

And we were Rome.

And we got well and truly sacked.

Read the rest here.

Good read alright, some great bits that speak to the character and class of the man

^^That's a good piece.

I'm fairly certain I read once that Albert Morgan came on in a reserve game when they were short on subs and scored a rebound

Anytime Ive seen clips of Albert he always comes across as a great character which must be great to have around the dressing room,for a bit of banter,be a hard job to replace him,unless Ian Holloway fancies the job

Just shown a third eye of SAF and Albert on Soccer AM,SAF tries to knock Albert's cup of tea while walking out for the second half of the Villa game

That clown Helen called him Eric the kitman
