AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Right time to go, and in Moyes, the right replacement. I'm not sure about him hanging around as a Director / Ambassador though. The oldies among us will remember what happened when Matt Busby stayed around behind the scenes. Spill the beans Cronky! It wasn’t anything dramatic. But having such a revered figure still involved with the club created a problem for his successors. They were constantly being measured against the great man, and inevitably there were concerns about Busby’s influence in the Boardroom, whether justified or not. Having said that, the club in that era were still hamstrung by a policy of only appointing Catholic managers, which restricted the field somewhat. It was quite a while before they got someone who was strong enough to take the pressure. I don't buy into the idea that Fergie being upstairs would be a problem for his successor... he has earned so much respect that anyone should listen to him. Also, if it's someone like Moyes the experience he can pass on would be invaluable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult because I'd imagine as a manager you are never likely to agree 100% with someone else above you like that and sometimes there is no right or wrong answer. At the same time you can't not listen to Fergie because of what he has achieved and the influence he will always have at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if it's someone like Moyes the experience he can pass on would be invaluable. It won't be if things are going fine. If things start going tits up though then having him at the club will put the new manager and his position at the club under pressure from the media and the fans as there is a ready made replacement alreay there. Please refer to the case of KK Kenny vs Woy Hodgson for recent precident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Can't believe skybet are actually giving 66/1 on Pep being the next manager ffs. Why is he even on the list. If Mourinho hasn't already gone to Chelsea I would've thought he'd be top of the list. But I can't imagine someone like David Moyes going, he's just not good enough. Ancelotti possibly. It's merely about what idiots put their money on when it comes to next manager odds really, isn't it? That's true. Didn't really think that far, couldn't imagine anyone putting money on it.

Froggy Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I heard that David Moyes is set to replace Fergie. I think that would be a mistake. Saying that, the next Black Eyed Peas video should be funny as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Moyes goes I'd reckon Baines may follow. Stay up and, Pardew or no Pardew, no chance this season will be repeated IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyP Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sid Lowe and Guilleme Balague were tweeting eachother about Real Madrid winning as much with loads more managers in time that Fergie was at United. My response below; If a manager is good, they stay and win trophies. A manager who stops winning will then get replaced by another until that one stops winning. Its an argument of cause/effect. SAF was good so didnt need replacing, not good because he wasnt replaced. This is in response to people saying "look, Arsenal and United are 2 of the most successful clubs in England as they have stuck with their managers". No! Its because they were great managers that they stayed for ages and didn't need to be replaced. Rant over! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
