Replacing SAF is a tough ask, I have a feeling united will go through a variety of managers before they find one that can even achieve half of what SAF can

[TBickle]

Mike Phelan's red and white army.

Mike Phelan's red and white army.

Phelan, Rene, Queiroz and Ole Solsjaer as collective managers .

Ben Smith BBC: "Now if the next part of this story pans out as i was told yesterday, English football might just implode".

Well, I did tell my mate the other day that I wouldn't be shocked if Wenger was our next manager...

[MiKey4]

Would anyone seriously prefer Mourinho as a long term prospect than Moyes. He'll give a few rousing team talks, win a trophy and then **** off. And anyone thinking Moyes not having money in the past will mean he won't know how to spend it in the future is frankly an idiot. As if Ferguson had money at Aberdeen.

[CfcTorres]

Found this bookmarked

Making the final =/= "to win the title"

can you even read brah? No way will they get past Juve AND Barcelona. If they had it in them they wouldnt have been dominated by Arsenal for for 135 minutes, counting the 2nd half of the match in london.

Would lol so hard if Wengy ever joined Utd, spent money on Bale, WIlshere and won the premier league in his first season :')

[the-craig]

I'm in shock, got a text off one of my mates this morning telling me the news and I thought I was being trolled.

[AnotherScorpion]

No thanks to Guardiola. He's a great manager, but he's weak minded and definitely not the type that Utd need .... When things got a bit too hard, he tucked his tails between his legs and went on a hiatus citing that he needed a break.

.

what the **** are talking about? The guy destroyed Jose Mourinho and it took the special one few years in Madrid to win his first and only game. Jose only won the press room war. Pep problem more to do with the president and his associates and of course he gave everything to Barcelona.

United would have been lucky to get Guardiola. Look at Barcelona now, they lack vision and inspiration that Guardiola gave, he changed the game and will probably influence many managers to come.

[CfcTorres]

Going through bookmarks. Phuck I'm a wizard.

I'm just guessing that if he wins the title this season he'll retire. 20th title, leave on a high but yeh you never know.

We all have no idea whats going to happen at United once SAF is gone, which could be soon.

The amount of hate I got for saying this... I didn't choose the be a wizard *******s.

First British team to compete in Europe
First English team to win the European cup, just ten years after Munich.
More league titles than Chelsea have even won now.

We're an absolute powerhouse and by the time Fergie quits the debt will nearly be paid, meaning we can afford to spend around £80 million a summer.

We'll also be able to get whatever manager we want.

My knowledge on this subject far surpasses yours in every way.

Besides Fergie will be moving 'upstairs' do he won't be gone completely anyway.

Plsgo, your constant anti united posts are boring as fuk you child.

Phuck off TheSlip you *******.

BREAKING NEWS

BBC reports that Howard Webb has retired

u fukn wot? inb4 conspiracy theories

[RicksenUK]

I hope they go with Moyes who is of a similar mould like Ferguson. But Moyes is not as marketable as Mourinho. Sad day for football end of an era. I disliked Man Utd and Ferguson but grew to admire him there will never be a another manager that builds a football empire like he did.

[CfcTorres]

According to Sky Sports News United will announce their next manager within 48 hours. Moyes being the favourite.

[TheLionHeartX]

Also according to SSN, they just said Moyes is also in pole position to become manager (not that this is a surprise).

[Hmzone]

According to Sky Sports News United will announce their next manager within 48 hours. Moyes being the favourite.

Fuking hell this is too much to take in at one time. It must be mourinho. He himself has been flirting with United, brb "only a special coach can replace ferguson".

I wouldve been so sure its Mourinho had it not be for Chelsea being cockblocking *******s.

[alphaBEAST]

Sky sources: David Moyes is in "pole position" to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager #ssn

Goodnight sweet everything

[Hmzone]

Sky bet and Paddypower have updated their market with Mourinho being the favourite at 5/4

[TheLionHeartX]

Yeah the more I think about it, the more likely I think that it'll be Mourinho. Ah well.

[alphaBEAST]

Appointing Moyes sends a signal that the club want stability.

He wouldn't be my numero uno choice, but if we're looking at the long game and someone who knows the Premier League he's the best choice.

He can start by bringing Baines with him.

[AruMyron]

Won't be Mourinho, United want someone to last last Busby/Ferguson rather than a year of mourinho then looking for another manager again. The only way I see this changing is if we have a few years of Mourinho to wait until we can get Pep

This. Everything is moving too damn fast






























I'll support Moyes if he gets in, he's got the right character, attitude and will be the type of guy that offers longevity. Plus I'm sure the next successor would have been reccomended by SAF himself ..... I trust in the old goat to find the next captain to steer the ship.

[CfcTorres]

My jimmies will be eternally rustled if Mourinho goes to United.

Will be dead to me (srs). It kinda makes me understand how Arsenal brahs must feel about RVP.

[Revzman]

I'd be pretty disappointed with Moyes, to be honest. He would signal financial stringency. He's a very good manager and more than Everton's board deserves, but he doesn't have the experience to take over from Fergie IMO. I'm not belittling his achievements at Everton but he's never won a cup, challenged consistently for fourth, had Champions League experience and he doesn't have the network that a Mourinho, or even Klopp, would bring with them.

If the Glazers and Mr Hedge Fund Manager weren't in charge, I'd be open to him. He's clearly the choice from the financial point of view though. 10 years ago when Fergie announced his retirement, we were going to get Hitzfeld. That's the calibre of manager United should be going for.

No it doesnt work like that, you dont expect someone to get in and enjoy a quarter of a century right away. What United need atm is short term stability, Moyes is not big enough to handle this kind of pressure, Mourinho is. Dont understand all this talk about Pe, he already fukked off to Munich


Edit: seems to be almost certainly Moyes, fs

[Revzman]

Moyes is down to 1/5 on betting websites.

Sickening.

[CfcTorres]

Moyes back to favourite.

Going to be a long 2 days.

[TheLionHeartX]

Reckon there'll be one big signing a la Bale this summer -- the new manager is going to need that 'oomph' to raise his chances, make the team look like its progressing etc.

edit: still think it'll be Mourinho. He's been stringing the Cheslea fans along like a bunch of muppets.

[alphaBEAST]

I think everyone needs to stfu and at least give Moyes a chance to show what he can do.

[Revzman]

Over 30 years of success. Fergoat.
