Moyes looks to be a shoo-in with Fergie being there to offer him advice and support. Much as Matt Busby did for Fergie.

I remember reading a few years ago that he ws leaving. as soon as they one the league I said to my pals that he would leave.
I think it will be the Special One (possibly with Steve Clarke)for a few years until ex manu players have got their badges.

I had this thought today also but felt this year was a year early for Lennon as he'll want to do 3IAR and another stint in the CL.
Moyes with some money to burn will be a rightful successor and take United forward

Remember the old saying......the graveyards are full of people who thought they were irreplaceable.
Who did Fergie take over from?

You reckon Homer?
Moyes has spent money on numerous of bad players eg: Per Koldrup £5.5m played 53 mins and was sold for £1m 6 months later, Billyletdinov £9.5m sold for £2m 2yrs later. That's just 2 of his misfits.
What I don't understand is in 10yrs he's been with them he's got to 1 cup final and never made an effort trying to win the league cup.
He regularly put out weakened sides in these competitions instead of actually trying to win it.
If Mourinho does go back to Chelsea I would guarantee he will try to win the league cup as it breeds a winning mentality and buys time to win more.
Moyes going there only weakens them imo.

Another who does not buy into the Moyes. Glad you mention them two players mate I could have done with them this morning in a debate I was having with someone else. If Moyes goes to Utd and Mourinho goes to Chelsea then I know who I am backing to come out on top and he aint a jock. If Mancini spends wisely this summer he should also be back in the running for the prem rather than the poor effort they have made this season. You an Everton fan?
Lol, think it was me n you debating. I did say mourinho was better to be fair. But name me one manager with no bad buys? Fergie himself had plenty. Mourinho signed the almighty Kezman at Chelsea I believe, and Rafa signed more left backs than had hot dinners whilst at Liverpool. Anyways, looks like this time next year the proof will be in the pudding as Moyes looks a shoe in. And I'll hold my hands up and say, wherever Jose goes, the title will follow. Because unless city sack Mancini (no he's an overrated manager) there'll be no competition to Chelsea/UTD.

Was you mate wish I had that ammo earlier today!! Yes Kezman was a flop however he was bought by Jose for £5.3 million and sold for exactly the same fee so a better outcome than the other two donkey's mentioned. Rafa - do not get me started on him, however all I will say about him is that whenever his team are in european competition they usually do well but do not really rate him as a manager so we agrre there and also I agree with you on Mancini as well and also your comment on Jose winning the league at either club. Only Moyes we agree to disagree on

No I'm not, but I don't buy into the media love in about Moyes.
Here's another little stat about Moyes/Everton, they've never beaten Arsenal,Chelsea,United or Liverpool away.
Time will tell if he turns out to be good enough for utd.

No I know his record against the top sides aint great. I think Utd will find it a lot harder to basically dominate at domestic leval as well with Fergie at the helm.
I just hope Moyes is given a chance, even though I think Jose is better. Would just like to see a British manager given a shot at a big team with a realistic title ambition. Anyways, think this convo has gonna full circle, might actually have a look in the lobby and post a comment about golf lol

I'm not doubting that, its the "Moyes hasn't spent money" theory that's being thrown about Willy nilly that I'm trying to expose.

Agreed they do. Bebe being the best example. However teams on lower budgets have to be even more careful and Moysie has dropped a fair few clangers as well as the bargain basement gems he found.

Everyone makes the odd dodgy purchase whether that is Fergie, Mourinho, Moyes etc.
Looking at your details I can see you are from Liverpool? I take it you are a red? If so surely you can appreciate Managers can make the odd error of judgement when purchasing players? Your lot have made more than their fair share.
