carlos is clearly involved with transfers media dealings and tactics

i hate to say it but lpool had it right when they wentf romm shankly to paisley and to fagan untd should follow suit king carlos next manager

How is his man management? Ability to bollock players? Let’s be honest, we have no idea.

But he didn’t have to do the more difficult job: handling player egos, man management, giving a good old-fashioned bollocking when things don’t go well — things that were Fergie’s forte. Can he do all this? I’m not quite sure.

Remember kids, the beggining of the end was when we sold Beckham to Madrid and last season’s title win was never going to happen. There should be a version of Gary Neville is a Red sung at OT, but with the words ‘Oliver Holt is a Cunt, he hates Fergie’.

On the subject matter, here’s my post on the same topic on RR:

”I think the partnership between Sir Alex Ferguson and Carlos Quiroz will take some beating. They are both top tactitians and have a great impact on certain parts of the world.

SAF’s qualities and triumphs speak for themselves but without Carlos there would players like Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson have felt so comfortable in settling / coming to United? Don’t get me wrong, I know Ronaldo has always said Fergie has been like a father figure to him and that he is the main reason for staying at United after THAT World Cup and in turn CR7 has had a good impact on the other Portugese speaking CHAPS. I think Quiroz still has a lot to say over the next 5 years at the club and it is very important that he is given time should he not remain instantly successful.

I would like to see a smooth transition between managers and the only way for that to happen is to let an insider take the reins. I would like to see a man with experience as well as passion for United become a right hand man and somebody who can channel their passion in the right way. Roy Keane was a great captain and leader but his off the field rants cost him his place at United and I don’t think he’ll come back. Neville would be great for motivation but his managerial side still has a long, long way to go.. so if you are asking ME who I’d see as Quiroz’s assistant, I’d have to say somebody like Brian McClair fits the bill. He has had reasonable success managing in the reserves and youth squads and has the experience of playing for the United as well as playing Under SAF.

I think when the time comes for Ferguson to step down, Carlos will already havve been making the main decisions and doing the team talks for a long time. He would have conducted more press conferences and as we have seen has already been trusted with important transfer deals and already has the respect of the current band of players. People can keep talking until the are red, white and green in the face about Lippi or Capello but the fact is, the transition between managers is ALREADY in process.

Sir Alex spends 90% of his time delegating and is far less ‘hands on’ than in his younger days. I think we will see CQ more or less doing most of the work before SAF officially leaves. He has had the experience of Madrid and that of working and learning from one of the best managers sport has seen.

My only concern would be that of what has happened at Arsenal, the French Embassey! I want a balance to remain at our club, between the ~British, Irish and the rest!”
