Ferguson moves upstairs...

Captain

Or maybe they just feel he is the best man for the job.

Maybe. But I doubt it. The only thing I think Moyes offers over the others is a commitment to stay for many years. But then again if he's not brilliant, the fans are going to be on his case from the first defeat. Another Rafa situation.

Moyes is hardly a bad manager. He's done very well with Everton on a consistent basis.

Captain

I'm willing to bet that they got their first choice. We'll never know, but I would take that bet 10 times out of 10.

Conor

Moyes would be a poor appointment imo. They could more-or-less get any manager they want but they're going for the guy who has never won a major trophy before.

Captain

Personally, if it is Moyes, I think it's a good appointment but we can only wait and see.

Mello

Always wanted to see how Moyes would do at a bigger club. Shame it has to be man u.

Irishgunner

Surprised he's staying on at board level.

Moyes will be a good appointment I think.

dreamlord

So, no acknowledgments for the best manager of all time ?

Eerm... No? He's not dead, he's taking a cushty board job.

lorddulaarsenal

I think moyes is a good manager and would suit them well

Burnwinter

He'll be given time that a high profile name like Mourinho wouldn't be given.

Captain

It will be all about how he deals with the pressure. It's a big enough job, but to be following in a club legends footsteps is something else.

Stylistically and philosphically, he is a good match for them and they shouldn't really skip a beat.

Captain

Thinking about it, wouldn't surprise me if he was Fergie's choice (whether he is appointed or not).

TambourineMan

Any possibility of one of his former players taking the reigns? Neville or Ole. Someone like that possibly?

Moyes would be ideal though. He'd probably take Fellaini to OT and impose a horribly dull style of football.

Whoever it is though, they'll be a bedding in period. A chance for City/Chelsea to storm ahead and assert their dominance. They next two or three years will go a long way in shaping much of the future. If United continue winning then not much will change but if City/Chelsea can win two or three in quick succession the pendulum would have well and truly shifted.

goon

Everton are not dull in the slightest. They play with a very high tempo and their games against other top sides are always great.

True, but still. I quite wanted him to stick around for a couple of years - at least one, because the optimist in me wanted Wenger to come out on top once again.

Now even if we manage to become a top team again, it'll always be said by United fans that we couldn't have if Ferguson was around..

Qwiss

The betting markets on managerial appointments are almost never right.

Captain

Depends what you're following.

Who cares what they say if we're winning titles....

Delighted he's gone.
