fergie will be back within a year, moyes will feck it up and the fans will demand fergie

everton play good football, they have a team of good players, i wouldn't even say they punch above their weight, moyes has just developed a very good team there.

Managers market is still open.

Moyes is still available at 1/50.

Fergie will be 72 then, it's time to let the poor man retire and enjoy his retirement. His health is reportly not the best these days all the travelling and busy schedule is catching up with him.

The united fans will run amok when Moyes fecks things up, they will demand.

Personally I am delighted Moyes is getting the job, for 2 reasons,.

He is over rated
Fergie will look like a twat for forcing him on the club

Ignore that Shanghai nonsense... my bad assumed if the Beeb/Guardian etc were running stories saying Moyes was the man it'd have been confirmed already.

it's highly unlikely to happen.

United fans really need not worry.

Fergie dominated at the start, and through, an era where United became the biggest club, pretty much, in world football. money talks.

the money generated now by the club annually means that unless the club is catastrophically mismanaged, you'll be absolutely fine. the club is on such a stable footing, and Fergie has left the playing squad in such a fine state, that it's inconceivable that a collapse would happen.

less dominant, yes, maybe. collapse, just no.

you'd need to be being run by a bunch of chimps smoking crack for that to happen.

Honestly I think Moyea is a huge risk. He has done admirable with Everton but hasn't really overachieved to the extent that is bandied about.
If overachieving with a predominant criteria for selecting the next Man Utd manager surely Alan Curbishley would be in with a shout as he really did overachieve with Charlton.
In 2006/7 season the club's net spend was £19 million, which was more than the previous 5 seasons combined. Look at where the club was when he took over and look at it now. He also brought through some good youth talent with the likes of Scott Parker.
Curbs is a manager who really overachieved but would be seen as a ridiculous appointment due to his stint at West Ham after Charlton.

I really dont think United fans are concerned by anything that goes on at Liverpool anymore.

Also, there has been no demise at United.

I bet some Liverpool fans would have said the exact same thing in the late 80s.

Every club bar the ones in the two horse race leagues suffer dips in form and achievement.
united have a massive fan base mostly outside manchester, but how fickle are those fans.
If they stop winning the league how will the revenues suffer.
All it takes is a few bad decisions in selecting the manager and the direction of the club.

There's definitely that potential. I know it's a completely different level of football but look at what happened with Crewe when they tried to replace Dario Gradi after a couple of decades as manager. They moved him upstairs twice and twice had to bring him back because the fans got onto the new manager the second results went against him.

Guy:Incognito

Ill be very disappointed if they dont give big ron the 2nd chance he so rightly deserves.

Extra pressure for Moyes with Fergie in the background

IamtheWalrus

Moyes is a safe option and probably the best one but I'd still prefer Mourinho. Moyes doesn't inspire me. I can imagine turning over his post match interviews.

that would be something else alright, look what happened at liverpool when hodgson was in charge, with king kenny in the background with a very active role at the time , the fans demanded a change once they knew there was a possibility kenny might become the manager, knowing he would want a second go at managing LFC.

if moyes becomes manager of MU, he needs a good start to keep the pressure of him a little but it won't be made easy with fergie in the background.

Reports that Man United are negotiating with Everton. The only reason they would be negotiating is for a release from his contract before it expires.

So he either is or isn't, I'm of the latter opinion.

As am I. Perhaps he still hope for Fabio doing a Rafael?

Chris Smalling though could very well grow into a top CB.

I know a few Chinese lads who change the club they support when they see fit. Manchester City was a favoured jump for them last year. Anecdotal I know, but I can see the argument for the fickleness of fans thousands of miles away.

I know a few Irish lads like that, 3 years without a league title and they were signed up members of RK Sunderland

This is such a myth. His title opponents have been Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, City, Blackburn and Newcastle. And he was outspent by 4 of those, Arsenal and Newcastle being the others. Indeed, probably his greatest triumph was taking on the financial might of Chelsea and City with lesser resources, and still coming out on top

Ok, you do realise that being the best team in the league and being able to add a very good player or two is a better spot to be in than being 4th of 5th best team in the league and being given a blank cheque to sign players with right? In fact Chelsea wrestled the league from him with money and then imploded, same as Man city. Consistency has been the key for me. To have the same manager for such a long time is phenomenal and gives that team a strength like no other team has in my opinion. Of course Fergie was one of the best managers around but that is in the past now anyway. Stop living in the past Utd fans!! :P Just kidding, ye are obvioulsy all very concerned about the future of ye're club now anyway so I'll leave ye alone.

Liverpool have managed to spend a lot of money and still be mediocre at best. That paints more of a picture of their management and doesn't have a bearing on anything else.

To average a spend of 1.5m a year (from what's been said here) and lose the players they did and still finish respectably year after year is not something to be ignored.

:rolleyes: It's morronic setences like this one that really bring down the whole tone of any thread. At best I believe Liverpool were actualy the number 1 rated team in European competition using a 5 year co efficient system during the Rafa days.
