BBC are saying Moyes to be appointed tomorrow morning
Hmmm will just have to see what happens next season then. Although i wouldn't mind Fellani and Baines if he could smuggle them over

Rooney has another transfer request declined:

On the one hand I can't see him staying at Old Trafford with all that's happened but at the same time I can't see him moving abroad and don't see United selling him to a rival.

Was good, when he was young. He best days are gone (at 27!) and no up and coming serious team would want him, maybe a trophy signing for PSG or another club valuing publicity and success the same?

I'm not so sure. Among many things which Fergie has en-grained at United is stability. Whether it's his own tenure, or the fact that he didn't chop and change his playing staff every season like some others do (Chelsea, City), the culture fostered at United has been about the longer-term picture to breed success. I think most United fans also recognise the unique creature that Fergie is and the task placed on his successor.
Given that it seems to be a well considered appointment by the PLC and Moyes is a respected and uncontroversial character in the game, unless it goes completely sideways and a Moyes-lead United find themselves trailing Europa League spots I think he'd be given a bit of slack for maybe even a season or two.
If someone like Mouriniho or Rafa came in (yes, I know the latter would never happen, but for the sake of the argument over character), then the pressure to succeed instantly would be higher I believe.
As for Rooney; surprised yet somehow not at the same time. With the gaffer gone, having been marginalized this season for RvP, and coming to his theoretical peak as a striker, its understandable to see why he might feel his timing is also "right".

Its definitely going to be an interesting next season, Im not convinced Moyes is what they think he is but time will tell. He has always been a conservative manager, winning games 1-0 and seeing games out rather than finishing teams off like Man U do. Managers like to stick to what they know, is he good enough to change that, or will what he knows be good enough?
[edit] I think Ferguson sticking around is a bad mistake, and Man Utd should know that better than most.

Puppet on a string springs to mind 
You think?!........no way. Soon as they lose a couple on the bounce the chants will start " We want Fergie!....."

Classy indeed!
Mind you he slagged off Moyes in his autobiography so I can't see him staying and if that article is to be believed it sounds like shipping out Rooney and bringing back Ronaldo which sounds a good deal to me
