So THE best manager job in all of football becomes vacant, any ideas/rumours on who will get the job?
That's the weird thing about it though. Its not the best job. The jobs a poisoned chalice. No matter who comes in, they will never do what he did. No matter what Moyes does, it wont be good enough.
Man Ud have lived the glory the last 20 years. I honestly do think its the end of an era. Whats happened at Utd has been great for their fans and they have had a great 20 years but its also dangerous what has been happening there. Now they are joining modern football where a manager can be gone after 6 months if they are not up to scratch. Its going to be a big kick in the teeth to them and their fans.
If I am honest, I couldn't be happier to see him leave. I am looking forward to seeing what happens to Manchester United now. Whatever happens, its safe to say that they will never be the same again.

I hear you on Sir Alex being an incredibly tough act to follow. But ManU is much bigger than even such a brilliant coach, they are beyond a club, they are a brand. You could almost say they are bringing soccer to Asia for instance. Even if they drop out of European competitition the next few years the fan base will still be huge world-wide.
But I expect them to land a good coach and a bunch of new players, the talent pool for this summer looks real strong.

That's the thing though. If they drop out of Europe will they sack their new boss and get dragged into the whole new manager every season thing? What do the fans expect? Honeymoon is over for them. Welcome to the modern football world MUFC.
I would like to see Solskjaer or Giggs or a combo of them both taking it over from Sir Alex and start a new, exciting post SAF life, but I don't think it will happen....not now though.
As for Moyes ... his lack of European experience is what is worrying. He should be fine in EPL, but CL is different animal.
