I did not mean it in a bad way. I thought Fergie would never retire.

Since Fergie joined United RM have had 24 managers and atletico have had... 50?
Real have had 1 more Champs League and 2 fewer leagues. Not too much to brag about.....
Madrid had a head start given we were midtable team when Fergie took over and took 5 years to get towards the top, but I agree in principle, having to change manager every once in a while is not the end of the world as long as we don't become Chelsea. No idea why we have an obsession with managers staying 15 years, that's about the only thing Moyes had going for him.
Sad to see Fergie go obviously, but with this appointment it has taken away any potential excitement of having a new manager, a new experience for a lot of United fans. He will get my full support when he inevitably gets appointed but he is a very uninspiring choice, I'd be really looking forward to next season under any of the top European managers that we could have appointed.

Wow. Shocking. Didn't think he would leave this year. Had a great run and deserves all respect.

Manchester United chief executive David Gill, speaking to MUTV: "We have to look forward now and I think any manager coming in will inherit a great squad and great staff around him. It is a dream job. I won't speculate on the announcement but I think we will move relatively quickly.
"In Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex we got in managers who got involved in all aspects of the club. That degree of loyalty is crucial to the success of Manchester United. He (the next manager) needs the required football experience in terms of domestic and European requirements, so it is a small pool."
Surely that would rule out moyes, he has not managed a single game in the CL main tournament...
