He's never proved himself at a club which makes a lot of transfers United dont make alot of transfers so TICK.

or a club without a long established way of playing based on home grown youth team products - ie all clubs except Barca and, just possibly, Arsenal. I would say United come in to that bracket aswel i know a good percentage of our players arnt home grown as in schoolboys to 1st team but alot of signings are made young and moulded in to what is "the united way" so TICK.

Interesting to see how he does in Germany. I'm not convinced he'll be able to manage the massive egos there like Robben etc Agree there! Robben with an ego he isnt good enough to have an ego lol

Mourinho to Man City ?

Giggs or Scholes eventually taking the Man U job with Fergie upstairs ?

So will the mighty Canaries do the 'double' over Man U tomorrow ? .........

And, yet again, Abramovich, Buck and Gourlay look like chumps.

Why are they chumps:

- because they have presided over a spectacularly successful decade?

- because they adopt a hire and fire policy? This is not unusual in football. Take Real Madrid & Bayern Munich and look at the managers they get through....

They sack managers without having a clue about the replacement,.

I'd like to see your proof of that statement.

Spectacularly successful how ?

Id say with the words "interim" or "caretaker" being used pretty much every season for the last few years. The long contract given to AVB ! sacking a well loved by the players and fans manager that won Abramovich's Holy Grail (the champions league).

Giggs gets another contract, bloke will be playing till hes 60 at this rate, he's a machine.

As for Chelski, Spectaculary successful by Chelsea standards maybe. Spent spectacularly and still havent broken the united hold on the league.

Bought Torres and Shevchenko, spectacular disasters imho

Once Fergies rein ends at United then I believe their hold on the Premier League will also end ?

@ Mark st1

Spectacularly successful how ?

Last decade:

CL x 1
EPL x 3
FA x 4
LC x 2

Plus still currently 5th in the UEFA club rankings.

Not as successful as MUFC for sure (but then I never said that) but I reckon Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and City would call that damn good going.

Take a look at what MUFC have spent over the years - back in the 90's, the Noughties and this decade; not exactly a small amount.

Id say with the words "interim" or "caretaker" being used pretty much every season for the last few years. The long contract given to AVB ! sacking a well loved by the players and fans manager that won Abramovich's Holy Grail (the champions league).

What are you on about? My point was: how can someone say that the CFC board sacks a manager without giving any thought to the replacement? How would someone know that unless they were at the CFC Board meetings or privy to the output?

Thats fair points however money comparing is not an option we have been successful for longer than the last decade without spending a hideous amount of money. Rooney and Van Persie combined cost less than that goat Torres ! Thats just an example.

So you tell me then about your revolving door manager policy ?? And also tell me who is going to be your next manager ?

Time will tell i guess.In some respects Fergie is leaving a good legacy De Gea,Jones,Smalling,Rafeal,Cleverley,Kagawa,Hernandez And not forgetting Zaha (who will be there next season) all 24 or under so he has planned for a good future IMO. However i dont envy whoever has the job though as they are big shoes to fill .
