		<description>EXTREMELY Late reply scott but I can&#039;t take to the man. He comes across as a bit unprofessional and a bit annoying. Not a patch on CQ IMO</description>

		<description>ONLY TIME WILL TELL .


IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE BALANCE BETWEEN DEFENCE AND ATTACK THIS SEASON.

WE GOT IT RIGHT AT CRUCIAL TIMES LAST SEASON  SO LETS SEE HOW IT WILL WORK OUT.

BY BALANCE I MEAN LIKE AGAINST NEWCASTLE WE WERE VERY OPEN AND GUTIERREZ JUST RAN US RAGGED AT TIMES. WE SEEM VULNERABLE ON SET PIECES AS WELL. 

LETS HOPE PHELAN HAS IDEAS TO SORT THIS OUT.</description>

		<description>MO PT SENTI - I will agree that Quieroz was an intelligent coach as far as modern football techniques are concerned however, to be honest, Quieroz was never going to stay at United for too long.  When Beckham left, Quieroz went with him to Real Madrid where he didn&#039;t exactly light the spanish league on fire.  Fergie took him back in after Real sacked him because Fergie like you knew that he was a good asset to us.  Though, the point I&#039;m trying to make is that Quieroz was never going to stay in Fergie&#039;s shadow for too long.  If Fergie had to retire at the end of last season, Quieroz would&#039;ve stayed.  

You don&#039;t personally know what Phelan is and isn&#039;t capable of.  You seem to have so little faith in Fergie and his decisions.  It looks at times like you&#039;re under the opinion that Quieroz alone was responsible for our success last season.  Maybe Phelan will do a good job, maybe he won&#039;t.  Time will tell but you&#039;ve already made up your mind that United will fail with him as assistant.  All I&#039;m saying is, let&#039;s just give the guy a chance.  Don&#039;t just write him off.</description>

		<description>HAS phelan ever been approached by any other club whilst he was at united?

not by MY knowledge.


I don&#039;t want to say its all doom but i just think that he is NOT on the same level as quieroz in terms of modern football techniques.



LOOK AT OUR SYSTEM WITHOUT A STRIKER LAST SEASON I THINK IT WAS 

IMPLEMENTED SUCCESSFULLY MAINLY DUE TO QUIEROZ.

WE NEEDED SOMEONE AS INTELLIGENT AND INNOVATIVE.</description>

		<description>Season has only just begun and already dooms day predictions are coming in.  I actually don&#039;t mind Phelan as assistant coach.  I think he&#039;ll do a good job.  Personally, I don&#039;t want the assistant coach to be good enough to take over Fergie.  When Fergie decides to call time on his United career, I would prefer a new coach to be chosen probably even with Fergie&#039;s contribution to that choice.  Don&#039;t get me wrong.  Quieroz was a great asset to us and I&#039;m bummed that he left but at the end of the day I think Phelan can manage with that job.

The thing about Assistant Managers is that they don&#039;t necessarily make good  managers.  Case in point, Steve Mclaren.  With him as our assistant we did the treble.  Then he left and became a manager.  His stint at boro was mediocre at best even though they did do well in the Eufa cup that one season.  Then he went on to become Manager of England...I don&#039;t even have to explain that.  Brian Kidd is another example.  With him as our Assistant we won the league after 24 years and we were consistently successful ala 95/96 with the whole, &quot;you can&#039;t win anything with kids&quot; shit.  Then he went on to management and had a forgetful stab at it.  

Only time will tell if Quieroz will be successful with Portugal but I want a proven manager to take over from Fergie.  Someone like Ancelotti or Lippi.  Personally, I would like United to become dominant in Europe and when Fergie retires I want a manager who has a proven track record in Europe.</description>

		<description>@MO PT SENTI : No offence, but if you have nothing better to say besides doom and gloom, then please shut the hell up. Fergie has worked with this guy for years, knows about him than you&#039;ll ever do in your entire life. If you think United would be weaker with the squad we have just cus CQ left, then please run off and go support City, i heard they need new fans...</description>

		<description>I think the fans want a foreign Ass manager because of the way football is, we need to dip our rods into different ponds and Phelan is not going to understand the European, African or S American markets as well as someone who comes from that neck of the woods.
Supporters also pay these guys wages, so are entilted to voice their optinions.</description>
