And who would be your choice to replace him?.

The only manager with proven repeated success at the highest level in the PL would be Mourinho.

Yes but it's not a realistic choice. Since you want Moyes to be fired it's a fair question to ask who would replace him. If United fire Moyes then you won't get Mourinho so who else would you actually get? These are the questions the board would need to ask before making a decision, if they ever lost their minds and gave into the reactionary knee-jerk decisions that are more typical of Spurs that is.

I think you need to give the man time. It's been half a season.

Do you think MU ever contacted him about the possibility of taking over before Chelsea came along.

The question asked was who would I have replace him, not who is likely to do so.

I don't see this as knee-jerk. At no time has Moyes ever looked anywhere near in control of his team and if press reports from today are true he has no plans to sign anyone this month.

The point of the question is to highlight that there needs to be someone out there to take over if you're going to fire him. Fantasy picks don't work. So who do you think could take over if Moyes is fired?

It is knee-jerk. You've only had one half of the season. You need to give him a season or two at least.

Just got back home from OT, soaked to the skin.:(

I honestly didn't think they could play any worse than they did last Wednesday against Spurs, sadly I was wrong, a woeful performance from the players, you can't blame Moyes when highly paid professionals show so little enterprise.:rolleyes:

A manager doesn't have to be unemployed to be in contention. However unlikely, Mourinho could take over.

A manager with zero experience of a club of this magnitude or at this level making a holy hash of just about everything he's tried so far? Wanting him out is not a knee-jerk. He can take his small-club mentality back to Everton for all I care.

Yes but he isn't. He is managing a team that has more money, is higher in the league, and for whom he has just signed. Mourinho is not taking over United. I would like us to sign Ronaldo this window but it's not going to happen. Who do you think could take over from Moyes who is a feasible candidate?

All big club managers had to start somewhere. Ferguson didn't have it when he took over United. Wenger didn't have it when he took over Arsenal. There is no one who can step into that job without a problem given the problems the squad has and the sheer success his predecessor had. You need to give him time to adapt to the job and build a new squad. Arsenal were poor at times last year and so were Liverpool and this year they're flying, it's the consequence of stability. You would have been amongst the fans that wanted Ferguson out when he also had a bad start.

When people said Moyes needed time this is what they meant. They didn't mean you get to win everything and take credit for giving the guy time, they meant you might have to cope with a rough patch or season as the new guy takes over.

The problem is at big clubs now is generally you don't get time and Wenger is a one off in terms of managers still managing now who have been there for a long time.

The bottom line for owners now is qualify for the Champions League and if they don't then the managers will generally get the sack at the end of the season.
