Many thinks that Carlos Queiroz could take over the managerial position from Ferguson when he retired, but honestly, I think that he is more suitable to become the No. 2 man instead of No. 1. Means, he is there to arranging tactical decision for the team. Besides, I thought he hasn’t done well enough during his managerial career at Real Madrid, and now Portugal?

Well, I agreed with you Scott, that Martin O’Neill is a leading man for United job. However, if we changed manager, we have to be patient and give time for him to do the job. Don’t be like Chelsea or Real.

I often see Martin O’Neill referred to as a “young manager”. He is 10 years and 2 months younger than Sir Alex. In other words, this summer he will be the same age that Fergie was when we won the treble in 1999. With that in mind, has he achieved enough to be considered for the Man Utd job? I’d like us to go for a manager who has experience at the top level, but is under 50, and will therefore potentially be around for 10 years. At the moment, only Mourinho ticks those boxes for me.

i wouldn’t mind seein Brucie managin us. He has done amazin things with what little he has, imagine what he could do with the resources at united. I would obviously prefer o’niell, but don’t think o’niell will end up at united.

The last decision Sir Alex makes as manager of Manchester United should be his successor. Well, not literally, as it will take time to sort out the details, but I think it’s important that the new man is Fergie’s man to keep the fans onside. SAF will then walk away from the club, and keep out of the spotlight for a few years, popping up to back the manager 100% when needed. When he’s had some time out of football and we’ve got a stable situation (and I hope it’s with the first attempt, I think we’ll see more of him in an ambassadorial role, like Sir Bobby (and by then, Sir Ryan!).

I’d like to see MON with Quieroz returning as his #2 for continuity. CQ knows the structure at United, even if he’s been desperate to prove himself on his own, I think he’d come back for another spell. He gets more than his fair share of the blame for our tactics between titles, and that’s because some fans won’t admit that aside from Ruud and a few others, we weren’t good enough.

Ole’s got a future with United but I don’t think he’ll ever manage the first team. I’d love to be wrong, but I don’t see it happening, because I can’t see him leaving to take on a top job elsewhere. Perhaps in a few years he will, but part of me wishes he’ll stay at United for life, taking care of the reserves and helping the first team train.

To totally change the subject for a moment – how come when Spurs fans chant homophobic chants against Sol Campbell, the police get involved. But when opposing fans lately are chanting “You should of died in the tunnel” to Ronny – f**k all happens? No one batters an eye lid. Disgrace.

I’m not just saying this because I follow United. I’d be saying the same about any player in the league. Scouser, cockney or an ex President of Real. It doesn’t matter.

The line has to be drawn somewhere. It’s no longer ‘banter’ when thousands of ‘adults’ have to resort to wishing death on a footballer due to, lets face it, pure jealousy.

Pathetic.

O’Neill with Ole as his No.2. In about five years after O’Neill retires (how old is he ?) Ole will take full charge of the club.
