Ferguson leaving Man Utd

who ever takes over has obviously got massive shoes to fill, Sir Alex has done a fantastic job, as he did at Aberdeen, maybe Sir Alex will want to come back and manage the club he most enjoyed playing for Dunfermline ! I reckon Moyes (ex Dunfermline) will get the job he has done well at Everton and this is the next step for him, imo Sir Alex spoke to Moyes months ago about succeeding him.
 
Moyes is nowhere near good enough for UTD, very overated manager IMO. Jose would be my choice if I were a UTD fan. Suspect Manure have known about this allseason though and a replacement has been in place for a while.
 
a few with short memories, remember 3 seasons in a row with no silverware?, fans at the games with banners calling for his resignation?
Certainly the most successful manager, other clubs will fire with 1 bad season never mind 3! maybe MU had the long term in mind over the quick fixes giving a manager time to build a successful team.

The special one seemed particularly friendly with Sir Alex recently, won't be surprised if it's him

no way was this known at start if season. Fergie wouldn't of retired if that hadn't won league. Not in his nature. As for Moyes, if challenging for Europe on a championship budget is overrated then I can't think of many prem teams with better managers??!
 
Who ever they get its a gamble,if utd wanted Jose I'm sure they'd av made a move for him. Agree that utd av known this for a while.
My money would be on Moyes. Wether he could step up to the next level or not only time will tell.
 
First Thatcher dies, then Ferguson retires.

Somewhere, there is a Scouser with a lamp and one wish left.
 
Could be interesting for the next manager as Fergie is moving upstairs so he'll still be there.

I think Jose will get it as it's amazing timing with him saying he's wants to leave RM.
 
Got told this 30 min ago by a city fan. At first i thought he had won the lotto the way he was bouncing about. :rofl:
Not a good morning for Chelsea fans me thinks, or is it ?
Here's a curve ball for you. A duel posting, Moyse and Gary Neville, unlikely i know but Nev: is still doing his badges, so he still sees' his own future in management not just punditry.
Be kind people i support Bury so don't know much about footy :whistle:

So Fergies retirement was dependent on them winning a league title!! do me a favour this will have been decided ages ago so they can look for a new manager and get him in as soon as the season ends so he can look at the summer transfer plans. With regards to Moyes he has not got into europe since the start of the 08 season no has he ever looked like doing since. Granted they finished 4th 1 season to get into champs league but flopped in the qualifying stage losing to the spanish giants Villareal neither has he won 1 single trophy since he joined Everton despite this season having the easiest route in the FA cup losing at home to the mighty Wigan also he has never even threatened in the league cup.The style of football he plays is awful as well. Not exactly a great record and would be replaceable at Everton. Does seem funny him not signing a new contract though so would not be shocked if UTD have him lined up

Very Over rated ? ? Im an Everton fan & honestly hope he stays .. I appreciate the Man U job is massive & maybe Moyes aint the man for it .. but to say David Moyes is over rated as a manager ? im sorry I find that puzzling

Craig Brown knew a few months ago, alex wrote to him wishing him a good retirement & saying he just beat him to it , so UTD knew for a while...

Ok, so firstly if memory serves me Villarreal went to semis that year, not too bad. Secondly. Fergie will have chosen to retire, not been retired so YES it will have been entirely dependant on a trophy win, (do yiu seriously think fergie would leave on a low)? Also, Moyes may be willing to wait on it. But I doubt mourinho would of been happy to wait in the wings. Lots of managers have t won things and still get a shot. The fact Moyes is so easily disregarded epitomises the problems in the English game. And I'll say again. The record that Everton have under Moyes has been done on a championship budget.

That's bad form if the manager is currently in a job isn't it ? Has the Spanish season ended yet ?, would hope if it was DM he would wait til season is over before he would let that happen
 
Would be shocked if United replaced Fergie with Moyes. Just nowhere near good enough imo.

All these people saying Moyes has a cracking record on a championship budget is cobblers, how many Championship teams buy players for £15 million?
