WHO NEXT FOR MAN UTD?
StrumSolo > 22/04/2014, 11:36
So David Moyes has finally been put out of his misery, with Ryan Giggs taking over on an interim basis until the end of the season. Who'll get the job permanently? These are the bookies' favourites...
Louis Van Gaal 2/1
He's won it all (unlike Moyes, who'd won nothing) and would certainly get the respect of the players (unlike Moyes...). Available too, or at least he will be after the World Cup, and for all the issues this season the United job is still a far more attractive proposition than the Spurs one. He's 62, so it'd be a relatively short-term fix, but maybe playing the long game and 'standing against the immediacy of modern life' isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway.
Jurgen Klopp 6/1
Quite the jump in odds from van Gaal, but that's got more to do with his contract situation (he only signed a new deal at Dortmund 6 months ago) than his suitability for the job. In fact if anything he's probably more suited, given that as well as having the reputation he's also only 46. Plenty of time to build a legacy then, and on a budget if he has to, which would surely be music to the Glazers and their interest payments' ears.
Ryan Giggs 6/1
One for the sentimentalists, but if Moyes was inexperienced then what does that make Giggs? Improved results between now and the end of the season might make it seem like a good idea, but it really is too soon for him.
Sir Alex Ferguson 16/1
He wouldn't, would he?
Diego Simeone 16/1
Remember how Alex Ferguson won the league last year with a rag-tag bunch of has-beens and never-weres? Well Simeone's on course for a pretty ridiculous La Liga and Champions League double with Atletico Madrid. Suck it. Would probably terrify Wayne Rooney to the point of actually putting a shift in too.
Shout-outs to Roberto Martinez (haha) at 20/1 and Frank De Boer at 25/1 too.
Who do you think should get it?

id like to see van haal and giggsy as his assistant with a view to giggsy getting it in 3-4 yrs time that would be my way id go but the fact remains ed woodward wasnt good enough in his role either so should he be removed too i say yes -

It has to be an experienced manager, I don't think the united fans would let them get away with anything else! For me it has to be Klopp, attack minded, good with young players, could see him staying there for a fair while and building the club back up again! -

I want Klopp but he seems adamant that he will see out his contract until 2018. In that case, I would like Van Gaal untill 2018 for Klopp to take over for the long term. Giggs would be nice but every ex United player come manager that has ever been has been wanted by United fans to take over Sir Alex purely for sentimental reasons and they would all have been mistakes bar maybe Blanc. Giggs needs to go prove himself like the others had to do before he should be considered on a permanent basis, this little interim period for him is crucial in that regard.
Overall, BREAK THE BANK FOR KLOPP! -

louis van haal might be a good shout, but i say giggs will never be a great manager, not of united or any other decent sized clubs because while he is a great football player and very intelligent on the pitch, he is not intelligent enough in general to manage (imo lol)
