We should have invited Ole back to work with Phelan, Meulesteen et al. He'd have been our Pep.

A talented young manager that loves the club more than anything, has the respect of all the players and understands everything that the club stands for.

If we kept all the coaches, we'd have had some consistency too. Now we just have, Everton's Manager with Everton's coaches and one if Everton's players while we sit in Everton's position. fecking shambolic.
 
I can't understand how we are even discussing a new manager. Yes, we have been shit, but we have also being massively unlucky with injuries to key players and on the pitch. Whilst I agree with some that the team are playing shocking football, I don't point the blame purely at Moyes. Getting rid now would be far greater a risk as who exactly are we going to get in? An interim manager?
All the names being banded around are not going to leave their current club, mid season, to bail us out of shit. None of them. Plus, I doubt the Glazers would a) Pay Moyes compo & b) throw money at a new manager if he isn't going to be here in the long term (interim).
Let's get behind Moyes for the rest of the season at least and see how he fares when the squad is up to full strength. We are still in the CL and still in a good position to chase down 4th.
The team are going to have a mk1 rocket up their arses after this latest defeat.
COME ON MOYES!
 
Klopp. We need fresh ideas, and a fluid style of play. Something more that open play to the wings, let Valencia get one in six crosses right. It's depressing seeing United yesterday.
 
There are better threads than this. Niall started one about the next manager being either Mourinho or Moyes. Someone dig it up, as all the best discussions are in it.
 
only 12.5% for Moyes! f*cking hell.....that is pretty damning to be honest.
 
It really is depressing read that thread. :(

I don't understand why this is constantly debated. If Mourinho is available when Sir Alex decides to step down, he is the ONLY choice, not Blanc, not Moyes and certainly not O'Neill.

Mourinho is one of those once in a generation managers (like Sir Alex) who succeeds in everything he does.

I really hope Gill & co don't see it this way. I'd be extremely worried if someone like Moyes gets the job.

His similarities with Sir Alex ends with their nationality.
 
I voted Laudrup and I'm sticking with it. Plus players know who the hell he is. Simone is a good shout too however his philosophy is pretty much the same as Moyes but he is a winner.
 
It was the biggest job in world football when Sir Alex was still here. Succeeding the greatest manager of all time is a job that should attract any manager out there worth his salt.

Now it's comparable to taking over any other top-tier European club.
 
What makes managing Manchester United a bigger job than managing Bayern or Barcelona?

Sir Alex Ferguson. His achievements alone have made this the biggest job in world football. Barcelona and Bayern have had many mangers down the last 2 decades that have done well for them have they not?
 
This is a painful read, especially since you can now see that all the early panic and melancholy with Moyes' impending appointment is now justified.
 
Stepping into Fergie's shoes is certainly the hardest job in football nowadays. Aside from that, I'd say the Real Madrid one is harder. Total circus.
 
People asking for Klopp, Im not to sure SAF knows him all that well, he and Bobby would be the people with the final say in any appointment, SAF strikes me as someone who needs to know the candidate very well and what they are like in all areas of running a club, which could of been Mourinhos downfall really, but id imagine if we were going for another manager we would line him up a few months in a advance anyway, with many meetings between Fergie/Charlton and the candidate to develop some sort of rapprt first
After the last big decision they were entrusted with I'd hope they have minimal input in the next appointment, to be honest.

And I'm not sure why "knowing him well" is even relevant. Who gives a feck who Sir Alex has had post match wines with. Seriously.
 
One answer to this is that I hope Moyes is our manager for the next ten years, having turned it around, and that our next manager is chosen from an entirely different generation of managers, most of whom would not be thought of as contenders at the moment (plus Ole and a couple of others.)

But if Moyes was to lose his job in the near future, I cant think of a better candidate than Hiddink at this stage.

Jupp Heynckes?
 
I'd like to see a new poll. It'd be interesting to see the change in opinion.
 
Let's have a definitive poll on what people want right now first:

1. Moyes out
2. Give him till the summer - CL qualification or out
3. Give him till December regardless of this season
4. Give him 2 full seasons regardless of results
5. Give him 3 full seasons regardless of results
6. Honour the contract
 
It'd be more to do with Mourinho no longer being a viable option.


Logic dictates Klopp would be the winner but I think Ole would be right up there now. Mourinho is a goner forever now but my god how I'd love to see Guardiola manage us one day.

4 for me, he has to be given time to build his own team
