Ferguson leaving Man Utd

thecraw said:
Birchy you need to play to your strengths. Its simple. Everton are run on a fraction of what Liverpool are run on. Everton have punched above their weight for a good number of seasons spending a fraction of the "big" teams. Moyes has been consistent and has had to wheel'n'deal.

£22 million for the racist thug. Moyes could only ever dream of that sort of money yet he's had Everton pushing Liverpool for years.

Sturridge £12m
Allen £15m
Borini £10m
Coutinho £8.5m


Rodgers couldn't even come close to lacing Moyes boots.

Play to your strengths is one thing but his failure to formulate any sort of plan B over how many years he has been there is alarming. If plan A doesnt work he just tries plan A again.

Giving a manager money who has previously worked on a shoestring doesnt mean he will do any better with money either. A lot of what Everton have done under him has come from teamwork and grafting hard. If Moyes had the money to buy big name players it could of easily worked the other way and they could of done worse who knows.

Fact is when your at the top its fine margins that decide the trophies and Moyes has not shown me anything apart from one tactical system in the 11 years he has been there. He has averaged around 8th place in the time he has been there which isnt bad but does this make him good managerial material for a club like united? I dont think so.
 
As I said his style of football just does not do it for me very boring to watch. Wigan play some nicer stuff not much of this long ball rubbish, I know they are always near the bottom of the league but their budget is shoestring.

wheres the even money? ive just laid a load at 2/5 lol. Think he'll probably get it, dont think its great appointment, but dont think its the done deal some are assuming. there again this is about my 12th bet in the next manager mkt for Man U lol, its been running a very long time!
 
I would love it - really love it - were SAF to team up with Gordon Strachan as an advisor. Strachan, McCall and Ferguson seems a pretty good senior Scotland Management team.
 
Fergie leaving will have massive complications on the new manager coming in.

That team defensively needs rebuilding and that will be a massive job for whoever takes over. I think he knew last summer that he needed to strengthen there but for whatever reason he choose to buy RVP and use the "Keegan" we'll score more than you tactic. This season United have conceded way more than they usually do

As for his successor, I really hope Moyes gets it after seeing the great job he's done with them, though I think Brendan Rodgers would be more suited to that job.
 
As a Chelsea fan, I desperately don't want it to be Jose - I want the Special One back at the Bridge where belongs!!

However I think the new Utd will probably be Howard Webb - afterall he's been Fergie's assistant for the last few years anyway, running things on the pitch for him and advising all the Utd players. He's obviously on first/nick name terms with them all so the transition will be easy. And no doubt he'll have Fergie helping him out from the stands as well!!

2/5!!! Job done then it would seam.
The only complication is that the news of his retirement was leaked early. Still you would think a club like Utd wouldn't leave finding his replacement to the last minute. Everton still claiming they know nowt, but Moyse has just left the Everton training ground according to sky sports.

Ha ha can you imagine ManU playing with no strikers 4/6/0 formation!

Why is Steve Bruce not in the betting if Ole Solksjaer is 4th favourite with bookies?

Haha Bruce would do for me lol, had a couple of quid at 1000 a while back

1/5 starting to look like a done deal though funny things manager markets

Webb has obviously known for a while that Fergie was going, hence why old red nose was happy for him to show to Jose where his allegiances now lie, but only after the title was won!!
 
Well sounds like Moyes is a done deal if the bookies are anything to go by!.. Wonder what Guardiola makes of this had he waited a few months...

Whatever happens united fans need to be patient and I think it'll be Moyes especially with Sir alex moving into a director role as being reported he can then ease Moyes in and have input until he's happy with everything.
