Time for the bouncy castle?

[blues-clues]

Steve Bruce must be in the frame for the job. Please please please let it be him.

May just be trying to keep their name in the papers during cup final week.

If they get Mourinho great, he might challenge for 2 seasons then as usual his lack of depth or plan b will see them crumble into nothingness and the managerial dance will begin for them.

His track record is good but he always takes over established teams, lavishes praise on the main players, gets them on his side so the rest of the squad buy into it as well. His man mangement is second to none, but long term, its about much more than appeasing big ego's.

Mourinho would make ManU better because of the better players he'd bring in and attract. Regarding long term, he's at that time in his life when he's ready to settle down and stay somewhere for longer than he's done. He likes England, as does his family, so a nice house in Hale for the next ten years would suit.

This was 'rummoured' about 10 years ago ... I think its more mind-game bollox tbh

[Chad]

Confirmed.

[Nigels Tackle]

confirmed

[Alex Sapphire]

retirement confirmed on OS he's going upstairs

[pepsi_dave]

And he's gone..... Boom!

Wonder what will happen now with them lot.... will there be any sort of visible transition between managers and how big will it be?

He's gone upstairs now apparently (Not the upstairs in the sky) so will still more than likely have some sort of involvement with any new manager that comes in..... big shoes to fill though! Only one way to go from the top though.....

[Blue In Bolton]

YYESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Happy fucking days!!! AGGGUUUEEERRRROOO!!

[Dronny]

Its not a real jelly and ice cream moment though :-(

[ruralblue]

YES!!!!!!!!! HAPPY DAYS!

Any change will make them weaker. Could be gradual but it will happen. No team can stay at the top forever.
Think there may be more to it than meets the eye, no massive tranfer pot or internal politics linked to the glazers. Or maybe he just realises that their days of domination will no longer be the same now the noisy neighbours are becoming a project to be feared.

I wish him no luck at all.

[Burt]

Its not a real jelly and ice cream moment though :-(

Yes, I agree. That will come when the bitter, piss stained, whisky nosed, bacon faced cunt dies and that can't happen quick enough:o)

[Hazy2]

No David Gill, No support, = Gone. City should announce the Cavani deal just to turn up the heat, meltdown at ragsville.

[Goaters 103]

If hes going, and if Moyes is the replacement, thats nothing but a positive.

It took them 20 years to right themselves after Busby left; lets hope history repeats.

[lets all have a disco]

It will never work with Bacon upstairs.

As long as he is around the club the new 'manager/Puppet' will dance to his tune.

[CTID Hants]

Well, the way I see it is this:

Moyes to the Swamp

Martinez to the Toffees

Rooney to PSG (or elsewhere)

[sheblue]

This is going to be one hell of a saga.

[Fullartj]

Ring the Church Bells Bacon Face is gone. Whatever about celebrating when Maggie Thatcher died (I personally didn’t) but this is a fantastic day for us. That c*nt has been the reason for United’s success and for them to be in the position that they are in. The United players all seem to be afraid of him so hopefully with Bacon Face gone all their little selfish little ego's will bubble up to the surface and United will start to slide big time!!!

They should keep the Ferguson legacy going and appoint Darren Ferguson

[Dronny]

This is going to be one hell of a saga.

It'll make the Kaka to City episode seem like a blip
