Mourhino to Utd: Should Fergie step step aside?

Don't get me wrong he is a good manager but until he starts winning trophies he will NEVER be considered. However as Fergie said himself he will be there for probably another 3 to 5 years. Two things, firstly I think Sir Alex desperately wants to win the CL again and he will stay on a few years to try and do that. Personally, I hope and think he will fail to do so. The current squad isn't good enough to win it. As of now, Moyes hasn't got a chance in hell of getting the job due to his lack of silverware, I agree. Managing a club like Everton on a small budget, where finishing top 6 is considered an achievement, is a completely different beast than managing United where finishing 2nd is considered a failure. Personally, I think Moyes will head off to Germany (Schalke) for a few seasons, adapt to European football and have a real bash at winning silverware before coming back and managing United.  I think Mourhino and Chelsea are made for each other in terms of character and he will go there. If Liverpool could progress back to the top 4, he would fit in well there too.

Spot on!

These are the FACTS!!

What are yis on about? Moyes been favourite for years and have always expected it would be him to take over, how can you possibly know their criteria for a new manager?

Why do you think Giggs would get it?

I would love to see him f**k United up

Did any of them manage united?


You could argue for and against any possible manager

It's just my opinion I haven't a clue who it will be but I think it's funny how some people seem to think giggs hasn't a hope- the bookies think otherwise

Just because he lives and breathes United doesn't make him qualified to manage the team.
Robson, Keane, Hughes were great United players that failed at management.

You say 'You could argue that against any possible manager' - I wouldn't agree with that at all.

Say for instance Mourinho got the job - he has a proven track record on delivering trophies with different teams and would be a safe appointment.

You could nearly be guaranteed that if Mourinho got the job that he would deliver silverware.
