Manchester United, that didn't last long. Seven up

Jose pls

Anyone but Jose

Only man for the job in my eyes

ego bigger than is appropriate for the position; would want to build a new team too fast; doesn't play the United way

Why do you want him?

Doubt you'll find anyone with a bigger ego than Fergie

Because of his ego! I would of liked him because he is a winner and entertaining.

Looks like it is going to be Moyes though!

He's entertaining when he talks to the media, we can enjoy that when he's back at Chelsea.
I think that's a mistake if it happens btw,

But it manifests itself in a very different way. SAF could be proud of his creation, Jose would be starting the new season with Fergie's team, you think he'd handle that well?

Moyes is a horrible appointment.

Mourrinho the obvious choice, but Klopp would have been the bold move. The team he's built at Dortmund is truly special and he obv loves his teams to play entertaining football.

[david3103]

Explain why Mourinho is the 'obvious' choice please.

[The Camel]

Explain why Mourinho is the 'obvious' choice please.

Because he's the best manager in world.

It won't be very entertaining when he is winning everything in sight.

I don't think Moyes is a mistake if it happens but I don't think its a very exciting move. Doesn't appear to have that little bit of something about him that gets me excited but then again I don't go to watch the manager

Something just doesn't sit right with me.
Why now? If it is Moyes, this is bad timing for Everton as they still have a bit to play for in the league.
Also and this is most telling for me, BBC reported on May 5th, two days before the news of this leaked,

'Sir Alex Ferguson says he has no plans to quit as Manchester United manager after the club confirmed he will have surgery in the summer.
Ferguson, 71, will have a hip operation but insists his plans are unaffected.

"It's always difficult in football to be absolutely sure of the future because the game has a habit of tripping you up," said Ferguson.
"I don't have any plans to walk away from what I believe will be something special and worth being around to see."
"We will get better and if we apply ourselves in our normal fashion I see our 20th league title as nothing but the start of another decade of success.
"Whether I will be here to oversee another decade of success remains to be seen. "

And 2 days later, he's retiring??

If they really dared, they'd go for Klopp.

[aaron1867]

Sky News say on their app that they have already made a decision and would be announced in 48 hours.

I agree, maybe he's not well and it's being kept quiet ?

possible that they want to move for the replacement *now* because they don't think they'll get him if *he* (assume: Moyes/Jose) signs somewhere else at end of season..

It was reported he was ready to retire last season until City won the league in the dying seconds. So hopefully it is not due to an illness.

Those were the lines I was thinking along but not more so that Mourinho won't be available for a good few years if he left Madrid for Chelsea.

Moyes......surely he is available at any point!
