Not sure about Moyes for this gig.
Seems like they want to go for a Ferguson Lite - younger jock.
Some of the players he has bought for Everton for small(ish) money and done well, would get slaughtered if he bought that type for Man U.
For someone who has never had money to buy at the top end of the market it could spell disaster.
Is Fergie going upstairs or will he vacate Old Trafford for good. Last thing any new man needs is his shadow ghosting around the place

He's been paid enough money over the years to afford to re-invest some... |

For all his undoubted anger and smugness on the touchline, there's something incredibly sweet about the way Ferguson bounces around like a giddy toddler when United score.

Don't like him, but I suppose that's natural reaction to the whinging, moaning bastard. Can't argue about what he's achieved though. Don't think any manager, anywhere, will ever get the longevity at a top flight club that he enjoyed. Something of a poison chalice for whoever takes over, constantly being compared to the greatest club manager of all time.

This should probably be in the what's wrong with football thread. I've just checked into a hotel and put the tv on. The Asian business news has amongst the stories on Sony etc, a story and discussion on the business ramifications of the old git retiring. It's business before football as usual.

David Moyes signs a six year deal and will join Manchester United on 1 July.
can I be the first to say that Moyes will be a dismal failure and Mourinho will win the league at a canter with Chelsea next season?

Just made the mistake of switching on talksport briefly. Adrian Durham's opening comment was 'What next for Everton fans then: relegation?'  He then went on to claim Moyes was the wrong man for the job based on a video he'd seen of him running for a bus, wondering what stock market traders would make of it watching from America (indifferent I'd assume), and observing you wouldn't see Sir Alex Ferguson doing it, to which his co-presenter incredulously replied: "He's 71 and needs a hip operation." I really have no idea what he was going on about. He also seemed to think Rooney was leaving as a result of Moyes coming in, and that was another strike against Moyes name, even though it's pretty clear he wanted out well before any of this occurred. I switched off after that but assume it continued in the same vain. How can someone paid to know about football know so little about football? |

I used to get infuriated in the same way by him and a few others they have on there. Then I realised they aren't paid to know about football, they're paid to be controversial to make a story and rile people up to call in. |

Got to be a limited compo clause in case it doesn't work out. Saying that, apparently Newcastle has not put one in Pawdew's eight year contract... |

Adrian Durham is an infuriating wind-up merchant. Take him with a heavy dose of salt.
Him and his side-kick Darren Gough always adopt diametric arguments. Strange that, eh? Chicken feed for the masses.

When Durham plays straight-bat he is superb, but his "Drive-Time" efforts on TalkSport are an utter embarrasment to listeners' intelligence. One of his subjects last week were "Bayern Munich - are they all that?" Underscores his shock jock appraoch
