dudevillaisnice Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'll be very surprised if United hire Mourinho.. it's not like they haven't won anything in years and they are desperate. He is off to Chelsea I reckon, Chelsea don't care too much for their reputation (not to the extent of United) and that's why I think he will be at Chelsea.

Popular Post RunRickyRun Posted May 8, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2013 I wonder if the next manager will have to renegotiate the contracts Fergie drew up with Howard Webb and Phil Dowd. They were on a no win no fee basis. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think it's a good appointment, in the sense that he understands the ethos of the club, United are a worldwide club but Ferguson ensured it kept it's roots, he has had a hand in who his successor will be. He does understand the club and he understands Fergie. They're both Glasgow lads and I'm not saying he is a bad manager. He clearly is not a bad manager otherwise he wouldn't be odds on for the job. I also don't doubt for one second that Fergie will have been heavily involved in finding his successor. But we'll have to agree to disagree on whether Moyes is or is not good for United. I think at best he is a massive gamble that might work. As much as you might dismiss his CV, it is a fact that he is not yet a winner and until he wins, we can't know if he has it in him to become a regular champion. And at worst he could be a disaster for a club like United who demand annual success. Define a winner BOF, if thats the case McLeish is a better bet for the job. Lets look at the job he's done, similar to Ferguson, he can rebuild a side if a player leaves unlike what we have been able to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think Fergie handpicked his successor and for me its straight shootout between Jose and Moyes with Jose reputation probably reason he be held back from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 yeah they said earlier that jose's reputation would hit the share prices and have a financial impact which could help them lean towards moyes, id have thought that with jose being a global brand and moyes being relatively unknown (and never winning anything) it would have been the other way round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I wonder what Guardiola is thinking now... I find it hard to believe he wouldn't be regretting his decision at this moment. Even though there is no way he'd known that Fergie would retire.. still must wish he was in the pole position to take the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 8, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2013 Define a winner BOF, if thats the case McLeish is a better bet for the job. Lets look at the job he's done, similar to Ferguson, he can rebuild a side if a player leaves unlike what we have been able to do.Someone who consistently wins. That rules out one-offs like McLeish (which is a ridiculous suggestion anyway ) and it rules out Moyes who never wins. This isn't a midtable club like Liverpool or Fulham. United need to be top every year so they need to bring in someone who has a history of knowing what it's like to be up there and who knows what it takes to motivate a team to be up there. Moyes can't know that because Moyes has never done that. As I say, he would be a gamble at best and a massive failure at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 my prediction is moyes goes united to replace baconface and then everton go for either lambo or martinez if lambo goes everton then we will get martinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 8, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2013 Everton haven't a pot to piss in. And replacing Moyes is a hiding to nothing. Everton will have a job getting someone good in. And it won't be Lambert. I'm not even mildly concerned about that. Frankly he has more sense than to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
