    Yeah, he did.

    The idea was he step up a level from Everton.

    He didn't make it. He wasn't the first and won't be the last.

    Hardly an insurmountable problem given they all left eight months later with Moyes.

    I refer you back to my stance on the Glazers.

    Again.

    Do you honestly think this is all some crazy coincidence?

    I was meaning more that if he'd kept some of Fergie's men it would made for a smoother change over and offer some form of continuation

    depends really I think the big names will go there now over the clubs of the past . If you replace him well it will continue more easily than it will be for others to catch up.

    You lot do realise that the last three managers the club employed, one was managing in Norway and then other two were unemployed.

    Do you think this is good recruitment?

    We didn't really struggle for big names until Woy and Brod. We had Houllier and Rafa, before them we continued with the boot room approach.

    no theres the fact man citeh exist now and that other clubs have capitalised on your inevitable demise .. I'm sure the owner have invested heavily every year . I think it's simply a case of a dynasty coming to an end mate .. it might never come again because the fans will make the environment poisonous as they already are.

    Well yes this is true, but the club should have taken steps to over come this once Moyes had left

    Sorry, but this is bollocks.

    When they first took over, Ferguson's whole MO changed.
    He used to refresh key positions every three or four years. That stopped.

    Instead the likes of Giggs, Scholes, Ferdinand, Vidic etc. had to play on far too long because Ferguson was managing an £800 million debt.

    Keane? Never replaced. Scholes? Never replaced. Ronaldo? Never replaced.

    Ferguson added Robin van Persie (that's it for that season) to a knackered squad and made it win the league. That is his legacy.

    all I care about is the trophies being shared around more tbh .. nobody wants the same teams winning every season imo

    come on mate he was known for bringing youth through then stopped and quit a year or so later.

    great manager no doubt in that, but he defo saw it coming and acted with his own legacy being put 1st
