Again though he has just signed for Munich. I think United isn't an attractive job right now, the squad needs a lot of work, there isn't as much money as City or Chelsea, and they'll be following someone who set a standard they're extremely unlikely to meet. Moyes may not be perfect but he has been given a impossible task and I think he is the man you need to back to get it done. Someone has to do it.

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.

No but then there is no template for taking over United. A club where the manager was as successful, a club which was built around that one man, and a club where the manager was there for so long. Arsenal will be keeping a close eye on how United do this though.
