The English Premiership

[Danny]

Moyes is a risk. He has been groomed for this role for years but it's still a big risk to take a manager who never won anything in his Everton career and expect him to keep Man Utd at the top of English football.

He has no CL group experience, and he struggled in the first 5 years at Everton with poor consistency. One season they were top 6, the next they were fighting relegation.

He turned that around but there's a real feeling among the Prawn Sandwich Brigade that this isn't the most popular appointment around and it spells the end for Rooney (no big loss really) and Giggs, who has never been managed by anyone else.

There isn't anyone on earth who WOULD have been the idea fit for this - including Jose. How do you replace arguably the best manager of all time who was in the job 27 years?

You can't.

It's a new era at Man Utd and next season is going to be absolutely fascinating.

I don't have anything to say about SAF.

I'm just curious about David Moyes' new MU next season.

Rooney said bad things related to Moyes in his book, and the coach took him to court then won (in 2008, IIRC).

Apparently the way Rooney left Everton was rather acrimonious and he doesn't want to be managed by Moyes again. He's already unhappy at his reduced role since RVP was signed, and now he'll have a manager he's at loggerheads with.

He won't stay.
