Make no mistake about it, the appointment of the next team manager will be probably the most important appointment in the history of the club. We can't afford another Frank O'Farrell. It took us about 20 years to replace Sir Matt properly, and the board really have to get this right when the time comes.

I used to think that too - always very fond of a big man up top etc. A few years ago I wouldn't have wanted him anywhere near, but Villa played some good stuff last year I thought. He's brought out the best in Young and Agbonlohor and allowed them to express themselves.

I know exactly what you mean, but judging on last season alone, maybe he's less 2 dimensional than we might have thought ?!

I think he's an intelligent manager who plays to the strengths of what he's got to work with. Slick, passing, attacking football at Leicester or Wolves would have been pointless. As decent players have come through at Villa, he's started to free up the play a bit, and I think he'd be up for the challenge at Utd.

olesmyhero · 11th July 2008, 15:20

Spiletti would be a good shout. Promotes attacking football in the Serie A.

Rahul · 11th July 2008, 15:22

Still Quieroz for me

KeyserSoze · 11th July 2008, 15:24

Mourinho, O'Neill, then Queiroz.

robthered · 11th July 2008, 15:24

Queiroz all the way for me. After that I'm not sure.

Not many out that there that have both the mentality(in terms of 'United' football) and the personality.

I guess Queiroz for a couple of years and then we'll know alot more about Keano. Wouldn't be too bad to have a kind of overlap between those two.

Jarmon · 11th July 2008, 16:49

Rafa Benitez!!!! ahahah

Ferguson's Successor

Jarmon · 11th July 2008, 17:06

Rafa Benitez ofc :P

Ronnie O'Sullivan · 11th July 2008, 18:49

I think Roy Keane has an outstanding chance if he continues to do well for sunderland, either that or CQ. Whoever takes over SAF eventually should have spent time and learnt enormously from him. It's no coincidence there are now 4 Permership managers who played under SAF before. They definitely learnt something from his style of management to be where they are today.

77 · 11th July 2008, 18:53

I think CQ has to do something very special with the Portugal national side to earn the right to come back to OT and take over from Fergie though... he's practically got to win something with them. If he doesn't then maybe he's not good enough for OT. He's already failed at the highest level once.

redwhiteblack · 11th July 2008, 18:56

i previously held the opinion that SAF's successor must be someone who's won silverware as a manager, as this is realistically the biggest club job on Earth.

i always said i'd love to Keano take control but not until he's won a trophy in the top flight as a manager.

however, developments this Summer have made me change my viewpoint slightly, and i now want Keano, and only Keano for the job.

Ramshock · 29th July 2008, 13:18

I will give you five realistic candidates for Fergies replacement and I would like your views on each one!

Carlos Queiroz

The obvious choice in my mind but there are United supporters with reservations!

Mark Hughes

Former legend but has since distanced himself from the club, would instill a hard nose attacking team and seems to be attracted to high profile players
Not sure he has the tactical nous yet to win the big games!

Martin O'Neill

Tons of heart and works hard on team ethics and spirit, let down by the lacklustre talent he chases in the transfer market! Would settle for middle of the road british and irish players who fit his playing style than go after top talent in europe! His lack of ambition in the transfer market would hurt us!

Jose Mourinho

Would bring United success but at the expense of our attacking philosophy, would be interesting to see if we would stake our beloved tradition of entertaining and flair in order to win more trophies! I guarantee he would be the Glazers number one target! Lets see if he opens up his game at Inter in the next few years but I doubt he will

David Moyes

No nonsense disciplinarian very much in the Fergie mould. Is let down by his style of play but has worked relative wonders with the tight pursestrings at Goodison, if we want a Fergie mark 2 he might be the man but his tactics and style of play arent the prettiest! A good sound option and might be 3rd favourite behind Queiroz and Mourinho

Dippersripper · 29th July 2008, 13:20

Carlos and Sparky are not choices anymore. Jose or Keane

Man-United · 29th July 2008, 13:20

Not Hughes...

Utd heap · 29th July 2008, 13:22

I don't want any of them.

Cantona coach, Keane assistant

Cornell · 29th July 2008, 13:23

Chelsea didn't play too bad a brand of football when they had the 4-3-3 going in the first 1 or 2 seasons of Jose I reckon.

I reckon with the players we've got Mourinho would be near enough or just as attacking as Fergie. He'd be my pick, however unpopular this view is.

Ramshock · 29th July 2008, 13:23

Keano might be an option but not in the next few years

You think just because they've recently taken new jobs that they wouldn't come?

There's no way in hell they'd refuse the worlds top managerial job to stay at Portugal/Man City.

I still want Carlos.

Simon Adebesi · 29th July 2008, 13:25

Red Cafe.

MUFC will be the first ever football club to be managed actively by its fans, via a one-nerd-one-vote system.

Implementation and real-time decisions such as matchday substitutions will be carried out by an upper chamber of ranking caftards, themselves also elected by we - the masses.

But team selection before the game, transfers, OT extentions and youth development will all be conducted with explicit reference to posts and polls on this forum.

Contracts mean fuck all with managers though.

Raven_Blade · 29th July 2008, 13:30

I would have to go for Carlos Queiroz right now. He knows the club inside out and his foreign contacts will greatly help us.

Dippersripper · 29th July 2008, 13:32

I think Carlos will fail at Portugal. I hope so.

Drifter · 29th July 2008, 13:32

Going to be very hard to find a replacement that ticks all the boxes but i'll have to go with Quieroz at the moment.
