I completely agree Tom but all the managers you have mention bar Mark Hughes have been won either a World Cup or the Champions League which surely counts for more than an unsuccessful stint at Real where he finished 4th in the league and lost their final 5 games.
He is almost certain to be SAF successor especially with his influense of our transfer policy, of buying a lot of Portugese speaking players obviously Ronnie, Nani, Anderson, Manucho, Fabio Raphael Silva and Possebon. But lets wait and see…

It doesn’t guaruntee contiuous sucess, you are correct Stephen. Can I ask you if Mark Hughes, Copello, Jose Mourinho, Lippi or what ever other names are rumoured to be sucessors of SAF can guaruntee continuous sucess? Nobody can.

My argument for Carlos Quiroz (already unsucessful at REAL MADRID, is that he has been working side by side with Alex Ferguson in bringing in young, ultra talented players and watching them grow as a team who seem destined for man glorious years ahead.

Something Sir Alex has instilled into all of his sides over the years still remains and these players all have that in their blood. Manchester United’s squad today can go on for another 7 to 8 years playing together bar the obvious oldies. Yet for the aging Scholes, there’s an Anderson, for Giggs - Nani and for Van Der Sar there’s a Foster.

Those, I know are examples but ther’s no denying the portugese eliment in our club right now, I am sure that Carlos’ influence in Bringing the 2 stars from Portugal last sumemr was not only for footballing purposes but to help build a strong team spirit which can bond and grow for the future, a deal which would make Ronaldo feel at home when there was any unease.

I don’t think anyone will ever replace SAF but if CQ did become manager I hope we have a British Assistant manager, or United legend who can help keep the passion burning on and on.

If Ince ever sets back at Old Trafford I would have a heart attack, the guy is a total prat. I personally hope CQ would also not be given the job as AF replacement, being a good number 2 does not guarentee continous success. Just ask the FA with Steve Maclaren, Liverpool with Roy Evans etc

Hmm - Interesting stuff. I doubt CQ will leave after his stint at Real. He’d be really hoping to get the main gig whenever Fergie calls it quits. And I’d be comfortable with him when Fergie leaves coz it would be the toughest job in sport at that time and you’d want someone who is at least comfortable with the set up.

I don’t want Ince near United, no. He’ll be bad for morale, the exact opposite of what good management is supposed to do.

Meanwhile, Anant, I have to disaagree. Out of those three names you mentioned, Lippi is the only one I’d trust with United. Capello is way too defensive, Ancelotti is having his share of problems at Milan.

Mind you, I think all three are unlikely, because I do see CQ playing a big role in the post-Fergie era. He helped build this current team and I’m sure his presence means a lot to the Portuguese-speaking players.

Just thought I’d squash this.. I live in Milton Keynes, and was at Wembley today.. In the matchday programme Ince said his move away from the Dons is to Inter Milan, whenever that will be, as he loved it there. So no worries about him coming back, although he has been great for us this season

while i personally wouldnt like to see quieroz leane , i wouldnt want him to take over as manager after SAF calls it quits. at united we have big name players who need a big name (famous) manager who knows how to handle them . it would be nice to see an italian manager succeed fergie as they know how to deliver success . my top 3 choices would be -
1. lippi - a good friend of fergie’s…connect the dots
2. ancelotti - he has done an amazing job at milan . especially in europe
3. capello - our english players would be very well acquainted with his stye of management by then . they’re already singing his praises!

as for ince…he can go kiss rafa’s sorry balding spanish arse!….not fucking welcome.
