You jest, but it feels about as big as trophy type three.

Change is possible.

I agree. This is a massive deal. Should be very interesting to see how man Utd set up now. Changing the style of play, the players, possibly that winning me mentality with giggs, scholes, ferdinand not around. Even Rooney might fancy a move.

About time. Thought he would die right there I the dugout.

Klopp is probably not available.
Mourinho probably doesn't have the guts or desire to go there with the Chelsea job open.
Benitez, ha ha.

Pellegrini is on the move?
But overall I think they will go for a British coach and therefore Moyes.

That true, losing Giggs, Scholes and whomever else will really suck the life out of that team.

No point getting too excited though, they're in a better state than any other club in the world. As long as they don't appoint some half wit, they'll be fine in the long run.

This could be a lifeline for Mancini actually - keep continuity at City, strengthen and turn things over during summer and they will maybe be favourites.

I hope Ferguson staying on as a director is a problem but somehow I doubt it will be.

Too late, I've already decided they're going to decline. We'll see them in the battle for 4th next year.

By that I mean; Moyes isn't anyone's favourite from a 'brand name' perspective, so why would there be sudden movement on him without some inside info?

His personal demographic similarity to Ferguson, and the weight of wagers placed?

Yep, I saw this coming a mile off.

Was just going to post the same thing

Any british coach appointed and I will rejoice

If its Moyes, Man Utd fans are going to hang themselves. But it does go to show how unrealistic we are by touting Klopp, Pelegrini (and before Guardiola). If Man Utd can't attract them, we've got even less chance.
