Ferguson moves upstairs...

Patters

Some of these 'tributes' are garbage. Van Horseface just using the opportunity to remind everyone of his goalscoring record.

My God. Another one without a scrap of dignity or self-awareness. :hmm:

The boys from Surrey don't seem to want Moyes. I don't think many of us did either when the subject came up, but now that a more attractive club might be after him we start thinking that he's potentially great. At least that's how I've been influenced. Can see him fitting in very well. But I think if they want to be competitive in Europe they have to play a different way and change many players.

He isn't an "exciting" appointment, but I wouldn't have been against it.

I think he'd be a solid, shrewd choice.

Mourinho would be my first choice if I was a United fan though, ahead of Klopp.

I can see a continental manager doing very well at United, given the structure and stability they have in place at that club. Someone like Mourinho wouldn't be ideal for us, he would do even better than he is at Chelsea with such a good squad.

I would love them to appoint someone without experience in top games, like Moyes. Any UK manager would be ideal for us, because there isn't any quality ones out there. All their ex players are piss poor managers as well, best would be Solsjkaer for them.

Anyway, reliable united sources says that the new manager would be unveil in a matter of days, but firstly he must quit his his current club contract. David Gill also confirmed the new manager "will have experience in both England and European competitions" and is in favour of giving youth players chances. Tony Pulis did quite well in Europa league...

I'm surprised everyone in that thread has forgotten that Everton got into the Champions League one season under Moyes—even though they went out to Villareal in qualifying. Certainly doubt Gill's comments were meant to rule Moyes out.

Wonder if now that Fergie has made his announcement they're going to wait to see which managers' agents approach them before making a decision.

All trying to pretend they're crying more than each other online … oh dear.

Everyone knows the extent of fan support is measured by the volume of tears. That's why everyone knows Wilshere is Arsenal's biggest fan.

It's just getting a bit @RAWK_Meltdown in there right now. Steaming right up. What was it that mad fan said about Benitez that Klaus likes to quote?

That's fantastic. 😆

Left out the bit where Ferguson kicked him out because he didn't get on with Ronaldo.

Mirth

Incidentally, has Rooney made peace with Moyes?

Patters

The Times reckon it's Moyes and to be announced in the next 24 hours.

Moyes will be appointed United manager by the end of this week, says reliable United source and tweets Sam Wallace.

That will be great for us.

😆 Forgot about that, will be interesting.

Moyes wants to bring some Everton players to United I reckon. Anichebe, Heitinga, Gibson etc. No chance on Baines with him suffering that home sickness issue.

Mirth

Moyes is a weird one, I wouldn't want him at Arsenal because he's not got that knack of winning trophies against the odds and I believe he's never won away from home against a big team. So I'm not sure he's the right man to end our trophyless run.

However, he's fantastic in the league. He gets the best out of his players, finds relative bargains and is generally pretty consistent season after season. Sometimes the football is dull but he's going to be working with better players now.

In conclusion, I think Moyes will continue to dominate the league with United but it'll be a while before they win the CL again. By contrast Mourinho will be another hit-it-and-quit-it appointment, clearly United are looking long term if they appoint Moyes.

Qwiss

Moyes makes sense if Fergie is going to have plenty of input.

Rex

😆 He'd want to bring Anichebe and Gibson?!

Captain

and Heitinga. 😆

Not Baines and Fellaini...
