So there will be an announcement of the new manager in 48 hours so Sky News says. Has to be Moyes then as he is at the end of his contract thus Man U do not need to negotiate with Everton for him, like they would for Mourinho or Klopp.

Sad news to wake up to. Living legend, one of the greatest managers ever.

His replacement will suffer with comparisons.

If Moyes takes over and wins the league Liverpool fans will go into meltdown.

Like money is the issue here....

Olivey Kay has stated that Moyes is to be named the new manager in 24 hours time.

RT @bwin BREAKING: Sir Alex Ferguson replacement odds latest. Moyes slashed to 1.30, Mourinho out to 5.0, Klopp 26.00 http://gobw.in/kOLzP #SAF

SO Baines and Fellaini to Man U next season.............

 

[BarcaOG]

Incredible. I may not like United much, but there is no denying what Sir Alex achieved in his time at Old Trafford.

Pan-footballism demands the praise and recognition Ferguson deserves.

finally.

wood put a bet on chelsea and even arsenal finishing ahead of man utd next season...the pressure is just too much on the next manager and it will be felt across the team

 

[Kerrybai]

Rooney will surely leave now as Moyes and himself had battes over defamation I believe. United will certainly be battling on the top again next season. Their current squad is quality.

 

[ManchesterUNITED]

wow how sad, but great years of success!

 

[ceefoo]

Well 40 odd games against the traditional big 4 away from home and zero victories.

Swansea, Birmingham, Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth have all won trophies with worse resources than Moyes has had at Everton.

He plays dour football and is a big game bottler.

I agree. I have my doubts about Moyes. It's true that he would be a long term option (if he doesn't crash and burn that is).
Although, as a culé, and as much as I don't like Mourinho, I think he would have been a better choice, albeit for short-term success. His ego would best serve him as the-man-that-followed-Fergie. He would have guaranteed them trophies, for maybe two or three seasons and then the club could look at bringing in a long term replacement and he wouldn't have that burden of following the legend.

Rooney will surely leave now as Moyes and himself had battes over defamation I believe..

Yeah. Would add further credence to the Rooney to Bayern rumours.

But I can't see what Pep sees in Shrek personally.

I hope moyes gets his shot, i love that guy, top bloke.

He could also take Baines with him, who for my money is the best LB around.

 

[Doobs]

People can't last 3 years at a club let alone 27. Much respect to Fergie, he will be missed.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Moyes is chosen.
