He's a complete @#%&!, agreed, but he leads the pack for me. Larry White is not as daft an idea as some are making out, I think some egg might be on some faces after Euro 2012.

Moyes though, sorry but no. I like the guy, but have you seen the table recently? And a complete absence of European experience rules him out straigth away imo.
No, but I can't see him doing without a big budget now

It may have been a small budget by CL standards but it was pretty high for the Portuguese league.

At any rate he'd soon see his arse over the debt-related restraints at OT. But that might be a good thing.

I am actually.

Erm, are you absolutely sure about this??

I don't think M O'N is right for us (the Vermin might do worse than him though) but there is no getting away from the fact that his achievements at Celtic were impressive.

serious question: if you could have maureen acting the @#%&! for 3 years and win, say, a champions league and two league titles but also have a squad with a bunch of foreign players in their 30s and a neglected youth system (all of which are fairly consistent traits of the man), would you take it?

In a heartbeat.

Winning > not winning.

Our 'youth system' is £#%&!ing gash and there are no players who are gonna be top players.

Oh, except Cleverley, Pogba and Eikrem.

Fair few assumptions in there (obviously in mine as well)

Who do you think should be the next manager by the way?

seems to me people are far too willing to make excuses for maureen.

yeah, he hasn't done that, but he would if he was with us

just don't see it. and he is a monumental @#%&!, i'd £#%&!ing hate to see old trafford become the maureen show.


as for who should take over, i hope fergie stays for another five years and wins a couple more european cups with a load of kids. then we'll see who's around.

That's the key for me. For example, if city somehow persuaded him to go there he'd wear a massive scarf, move to Stockport and only use blue ketchup.

It's always in response to others, tbf. Especially in Italy, where a lot of other managers seemed to think it would be a good tactic to try and damped the aura around him by publicly putting him down.

He irritates people, they have a pop at him and he kills them with a putdown. That's the usual routine.

Can't wait to see Bors posts after Jose's first 0-0 draw in charge of United. He'll make Sparky look like Dwight Yorke.
