He'd go there in a shot. Much as we despise the rags, they are still one of the biggest clubs in Europe. They get the right manager in there and they have the potential to be as successful as they were under Bacon
They're searching for someone who can bring back former glories and a new Fergie.
They'll never find anyone.
I wonder if the Scum do sack Mourinho sooner rather than later, whether, or not, in desperation they'd approach FergusScum to return.
I wouldn't actually mind if this were to happen as, in today's changed football climate, his shortcomings that were previously disguised by all the money they used to be able to throw at a problem, would be cruelly exposed.
His return would demolish this putative 'legendary' status he's managed to successfully weave for himself and, in doing so, would accelerate the downward spiral of this odious Club.

It would not surprise me in the least if such an event had happened already, ie the board approached him to take the reigns after Moyes and he realised it would be a total disaster and to protect his reputation he declined.

I hope not anytime soon. Fire enough arrows though and one will find a target

It gives me the same pleasure to watch them disintegrate as we do it well, if that made sense.
The turnaround after Bacon is fantastic, we want Jose to stay as long as possible yeh?

As a curious parallel with our own Yaya 'problem', Anthony Martial's agent (Phillipe Lamboley) has just slammed the Scum as being "disrespectful" to his client, for giving his shirt number to Ibrahimovitch.
It seems a bit of a storm in a teacup, however, it could be tactical as Martial no longer seems to be ManUre's 'golden boy' and the agent could be preparing to get the player a transfer.
Hope this all grows into a mega rift and impacts adversely on the Scum but, on the other hand, just who do these agents now think they are ??
One or two of them seem to think they are more important than the Manager or the Club that their clients are contracted to.

Surely not , Misha - I don't don't know how you could possibly draw such a conclusion !
Back on, I'd be delighted for Roy Keane to be next.
Who I wouldn't want would be Koeman - He could end up doing a good job , and with his detestation of King Louis , he'd be very determined to succeed.

Which is the very reason he would never return.

Blue Since 76 wrote:If they'd got Pocettino or Koeman last summer, if have been concerned they'd finally got a plan. Maureen didn't concern me, as he could have brought them short term glory, but it would always end in tears. As it happens, looks like he's skipped the short term bit and just give straight to blaming the players. I'll be amazed if he lasts the season.
Bryan Robson next, please.
That's the pertinent point, there's no plan.
When gollum came in they thought things would more or less carry on as they had before, mainly because they believed their own hype about being untouchable.
Since then it's been kneejerk.
If they get someone like Pocettino or Simeone in, then accept it's a two or three season rebuild, that would be worrying.
Fortunately, I don't think the Glaziers will ever see past the need for immediate success.
