Depends on who would consider it. Pep Guardiola would be the name I'd offer you if I'm being pressed. A good relationship with SAF and experience with big clubs.

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.

No not quite. Bad analogy because United today are a world apart from the club they were in SAF's first few years. They were more of a 'cup team' back then. The whole brand and business model was different, the attacking style of football was almost non existent. The step-up from Aberdeen to United (of 1986) was not as big as Everton to United of today.

But the 'new guy' has to show something,
anything to indicate he's capable of the job! Which is what Moyes has easily failed to do.
