Does this not merit a thread of it's own MrB?

There is one HD. The United in decline thread would seem to be more apt

Sir Matt Busby=Sir Alex Ferguson=Sir David Moyes? ..........​ Bring it on. One thing is for sure Ferguson will be in the stands and his presence will carry weight always at OT.

do you think that's a good thing though? ghost over your shoulder etc. . .

Busby ghost didn't do Fergie much harm,who knows it is a difficult one.

that's not the same thing. busby was actually dead. much to my regret, ferguson isn't yet.

Busby died in 1994 God bless him.

Ferguson joined United in 1986 it took him 3 years to win a trophy and another 3 to win the league Sir Matt Busby was there.

Busby wasn't dead when Fergie took over, far from it.

i think if ferguson had stayed then rooney was almost certainly gone. moyes? he'll want to keep him. might not be his decision though.

There is absolutely no doubt that Moyes rates Rooney and I read an article once where Moyes said Rooney helped launch is managerial career. However, he made big money out of Rooney once. I don't think he'd have a problem flogging him on again.

The worst tribute to Fergie, ever........ I could not watch it.

yeah but busby wasn't an ambassador and club director hanging around the place like remembrance of times past was he? notwithstanding many united fans wanted ferguson out before that mark robins goal.

and you're only 37? jesus man.

might be out of his hands though. think ferguson almost certainly signed kagawa to replace rooney. everything now though isn't about what mister ferguson did or wanted is it? going to be an interesting summer.

my favourite twitter comment so far:

"Dear Man United fans. Thing don't go too well from here. All the best. Aberdeen fans."

BBC saying Moyes has been appointed.

5 Reasond why Moyes is a better choice than Jose......

Busby was there every week, no fail...!

I (do not) fear, the term, 'ambassador' had not been utilised in its current form, regarding football in that era.

Yes, as a very young man (boy), I sang 'Fergie out' too.

Moyes two-month contract secured according to all the major sports writers with a 'sacked within a week' clause dependent on results. New one on me.

Some tabloid nonsense. Rooney on his way to Chavski, Ronaldo on his way back to United. Somehow, I don't believe that at all.

Ferguson is the best. His record proves it.

Some tabloid nonsense. Rooney on his way to Chavski, Ronaldo on his way back to United. Somehow, I don't believe that at all.

I think the Rooney exit talk is very plausible. Just need to find someone stupid enough to pay his wages....what is it? 250k per week?!!

United should have got rid of Rooney three years ago when he threw his toys out of the pram and was supposed to be joining City for 50m.

I doubt if they will get half that now.Rooney is 27 and should be at his peak but he's nothing like as good as when he was 18.He's overweight and cumbersome and his lifestyle has caught up with him.

SAF....fantastic achievements as a manager at United and,also,at Aberdeen where he broke up the old firm monopoly and won the Cup Winners Cup by beating Real Madrid in 1983.

In the last 40 years or so only Paisley,Shankly and Dalglish can begin to come close to matching his managerial record,imo.

Hi tounge is probably stuck to a window , so you might have wait a while.

No doubt Fergie's record is outstanding, but I think Mourinho will/is challenging for the most successful.

I don't think he is anywhere near 49 trophies yet though.

from barney ronay in today's guardian:

"On his own Ferguson's won more trophies than Arsenal, who first started trying to win them in 1886."

If Moyes gets the job, do you think he's going to want to stick it to Rooney?

what, the player who moyes successfully sued for libel five years ago? surely not.

Mourinho's on twenty so far, at fifty years old and after thirteen years in management.

By the time SAF was fifty he had won thirteen trophies and had been a manager for seventeen years.

But can Mourinho be anywhere near as successful over the next twenty one years as SAF has been over the last twenty one?

that will depend what age mourinho is when he actually vanishes up his own arse.
