Think you slightly misread the situationYeah David Moyes is partly the reason why I hold this view, nice try on the sarcasm though.

Pretty sure everyone who voted Giggs was taking the piss - like you said, would be naive, especially as we're not in the dominant position we were (and so shouldn't be taking risks).From an outsider's perspective, hiring Giggs would be a disaster for United.
As soon as Moyes took over from Ferguson, opposition clubs instantly got the scent of blood and would go to Old Trafford thinking they had a good chance of winning. Mourinho's brought the aura back to United and teams are scared to play at Old Trafford again. Giving the job to a novice like Giggs instead of a coach who is proven and respected at the top level would put you back to the level where teams like Newcastle and West Ham would come to Old Trafford thinking "we've got a chance of beating these".
Realistically he's only got the cups and they are pretty pot luck at times to win.....I mean one off day and you're out. I wouldn't put too much emphasis over a cup win when put against a timeline showing obvious progress and the putting together of a team which performs well consistently over several seasons. Some bang average teams have won cups over the years...Not yet convinced by Pochettino. He needs to actually win something to elevate himself into the frame for the Utd job. We need a proven winner, not a potential winner.
Did Moyes not produce, in Everton, a team that performed consistently well over several seasons?Realistically he's only got the cups and they are pretty pot luck at times to win.....I mean one off day and you're out.

Personally I wouldn't compare the teams Moyes produced to this Spurs team....I don't think they compare only on the not winning trophies measurement....There's a handful of the spurs players which would have a really good shout for a place in our first team for a start.Did Moyes not produce, in Everton, a team that performed consistently well over several seasons?
For me there's a world of difference between a manager who gets his team to play good football but wins nothing, and one who gets his team to win trophies.
Yep, a great coach would have won a trophy with that Spurs side in the past 2 years.Did Moyes not produce, in Everton, a team that performed consistently well over several seasons?

Probably this. Though I like Sarri more and more with each passing week (I don’t watch Napoli often but have started watching closer, since he’s been mentioned here often)1: Poch
2\3: Can't decide between Sarri and Jardim
Look up 'hypothetical'.Silly thread. You guys have too much free time.
Guardiola. Why not.
I'm sure we could match whatever City are paying him (maybe?).
We wouldn't give him preferred ceilingless transfer budget but we could compete relatively well and see just how great a manager he is with restrictions.
Failing that... Pochettino.
At this moment in time, they would be my top 3 candidates too.1) Pochettino
2) Jardim
3) Tuchel
HmmI read that Pochetino and his close management team, including Levy spent 10 days on holiday this Summer at Joe Lewis' (Spurs owner) estate in Argentina. They got on famously, and I think Poch and Levy are quite thick together. With Spurs going into the new stadium next year, and Poch appears to be an honourable sort, I can't see him dumping Spurs. Therefore, having seen Napoli almost put City to the sword, lets go for Sarri. It will be attacking exciting footie.
Give it to Giggsy

I personally think we missed a trick by not hiring Giggsy after LvG. It was a risk, but then Pep at Barça was a major risk at the time as well.From an outsider's perspective, hiring Giggs would be a disaster for United.
