Giggs.
Ok, so what do we know? Well we know that Van Gaal has categorically stated next season will be his last, and he's not a man to go back on his word. So at the very outside the club will be making a decision on who is to be the next manager by this time next year; earlier if Woody is a smart guy. And let's hope he learned his lesson from the whole Moyes debacle.
So where does that leave Giggs? Well, he will know that hiring an established manager will probably entail bringing in a team, which will leave him out in the cold. He cannot hope to be passed from manager to manager, so he has to make a decision for himself. He wants the manager's job, that much is clear. Part of the establishment wants him also (Fergie and the rest of the 92 gang), but this is Manchester United, not the class of 92 get along gang. I appreciate everything that group of players did for us, but that doesn't mean we are in thrall to them for the rest of existence. Football matters should require sound football decisions, and I'm not sure where hiring a man who has absolutely zero experience of managing anyone, let alone one of the biggest clubs in the world falls into that category. Moyes objectors should appreciate that more than anyone. If that's not lesson learned, then I don't know what it takes. Fergie himself took pains to express his belief that all young managers should earn their stripes at a lower level, and I agree with him. Obviously he has now done a 180, as is his wont when it suits his purposes, but you can't unring a bell. He said it and he was correct. No way Giggs should be United's next manager. If he has it in him he will be successful elsewhere, then come back ready. This is not a job for cutting your teeth on. My fear is that as the zero hour approaches, Giggs and his allies will begin to position themselves regardless of the detrimental effect on the club. If the leaks to the Times indeed came from him, then it's indicative of what we can expect going forward. If Guardiola is indeed approaching availability, and we allow him to go to City and instead appoint Giggs, then we will get what we deserve. |

I think if Pep gives us any indication he would manage us next season, we'd let LVG go. Giggs will leave also ( he needs to manage a team first before he should even be considered a possibility for us )
The same happens if Ancelotti says he'd manage us too ( both fergie's first choices ahead of M ) The worst case scenario is Pep goes to city, Ancelotti to Bayern and we stick with LVG, then Giggs |

Obviously Guardiola would be the logical choice given the style that Van Gaal has been trying to implement for the last 15 months.
Or if we're going to just rip all that up and start again - then bring in giggs or ancelotti. From the sounds of it Pep is off to City anyway, so I think it's a pretty safe bet we'll end up with Giggs as manager. How long that will be for is anyone's guess. |

Giggs will get the job. After everything Utd should have learned from appointing Moyes you just know that something as bewildering as this will happen.
Any you know what, if they do give it to him I hope City do appoint Guardiola. And Ancelotti takes over at Arsenal. Then wait will Utd do? Probably £#%&!ing go crawling to a post Chelsea/nervous breakdown Mourinho after Giggs and his class of 92 chums take Utd to a couple of successive seventh place finishes. £#%&! off. |

Lots of pissing about Klopp going to Liverpool, but Pep at City while we line up Giggs is terrifying tbh |

Whether we like it or not the future will happen, and what form it takes will depend on what decisions are made very soon, and the events immediately following Fergie's retirement are way too fresh in the mind. So yes, I would say it's a very valid conversation to be having now. My feeling is that Woody will have to decide whether he is his own man or simply Fergie and the 92'ers toady. Loyalty is great, but not if it leads to spurious decision making. |

There is nothing about Giggs that says "great manager material".....other than he won a lot as a player. Saying that, Keane/Robbo looked nailed on at certain points. I'd be shocked if they risk Giggs after the Moyes £#%&! up. |
