That's because the Premier League threatened him with fines if he didn't.

It's Moyes.

Seen something from a mate's mate who is a footie agent. Van Persie's agent (KV) has said that Moyes is in.

Odds went from evens to 8/13 to 2/7.

they are saying Mourinho a lot on twitter, I haven't got the faintest clue, maybe Gazza will go for it

I agree...Mourinho seem to go in to a place and win but then drop off. I think he would throw his Teddy out of the cot at United.

My choice would be Moyes...he is consistent and finishing 6th with an average team shows that he's a good manager

Moyes to Manure
Martinez to Everton
Pardew to Wigan
Benitez to Newcastle
...sorted.

1/4 now. Sounds like its a done deal.

I heard that he was being fined the whole time he refused to speak to them, United just paid for him.


The lad who told me put 1500 quid on it, so it must have some weight.

If you're betting then Paul Lambert has to be worth a risk

Pochettino is 60/1.

Hands off you Manc bastards....

An absolute legend! Has to be the best manager of all time, not just for his trophy count, years of service but also the way that he has changed to suit the times and mixed it up and generally beaten all the sugar daddy clubs.

I for one will be in Harvesters on Sunday to watch United pick up their 20th title and have a pint in Fergies honour!

As for who...... to be honest I am not sure. I don't really want Moyes as he has no Euro or big money experience, however, he is grounded and knows how to set up a team. Jose it, well Jose really. There is no doubting he is an excellent manager and a born winner but it all depends on if he is ready to settle down and start a legacy. He should be done with all the whoring it around from one team to the next and settle down with a stunner! pep would have been good, however, again, his experience is from only one club and that had Messi, Xavi and Inesta in it....

The person who I would like to see in a couple of years, once he has some more experience is Ole. He's doing well with Molde so it's not that way out there!

Hasn't moyes genereally *****ed up when he has spent money? I think its almost guaranteed Fergie will be a Director of football and Moyes as a chief coach?

jam25mack

I'm trying to recall when he has actually had any money!

I agree Fergie will be moving upstairs and will probably have quite a big input, however, I would rather someone like Ole got a chance rather than Moyes. I do like (and this is hard to say, with him being an Argentinian) but Pinocchio or whatever his name is has impressed me during his short tenure at S'hampton - sorry Scamp!

A different take on Fergie from a Scottish friend of mine:

'2 Champions League titles in 25 years? Neither of which they particularly deserved to win. A great manager in a shit league, pretty average on a European scale. As the richest club in world football, he should have done better in Europe. FACT!'

Bitter rangers fan or chip on the shoulder celtic fan? Many of them still hate him after he spent the first half of the 80's getting it stuck right up them. His feats at Aberdeen only go to show what a great manager he is though. Admittedly he had a reasonable pot of money to spend, by the days standards, and some great players at the club then he arrived, but even still his achievements were amazing.

Folklore says (it may have been in one of his earlier autobiographies) that when he joined Man Utd he was actually getting paid less than he was at Aberdeen – oh how football has changed!
