the owners want to do what arsenal have been doing for the previous ex amount of seasons. Spend little, and expect to win the league every season

Klopp is an interesting one, keeps saying he is staying but his best players are jumping ship quickly with a couple headed to a strong Munich side and he has admitted he will have to sell more and spend next year rebuilding, maybe a new challenge would appeal to him
klopp would need at least a full season to get the mancs to play the way he wants them, which it seems, going on yesterdays headlines, the owners are not prepared to wait a full season. So why would he take the job? You are turning into a spud football club. You will by the looks change the manager every 6 months when things don't go right. Can see it coming with Arsenal when Wenger goes which rumours are he is going after the FA Cup final.

But what the club needs to understand in this day and age. Is that you will be lucky to find a player with natural talent that you can groom into a player like Rooney or Ronaldo, maybe once every 10 years. In the mean time, the club has to spend huge amounts of $$$ to sign star quality players. Especially from other leagues or if the player already comes from a very successful team.

What he had to work with is what Ferguson left behind
Half the squad won't be there next year and not because they are moving on to bigger, better things. How is he suppose to motivate those players.
He had to follow the greatest manager in history, one who hasn't actually left but continues to sit in the stands like a ghost from Christmas past and who makes comments to the press.
Personally I think the job was a poisoned challis from the off. I also think Ferguson knew exactly what he was doing when he resigned last year.

Spot on I reckon! Any chance Fergie could jump back into the chair for a bit?

Is this really wise given that he was largely responsible for the failed Moyes appointment?
The situation with Fergie at United is similar to that of a son taking over the reigns of a family business from his retired father and having the old man, bored stiff, still rocking up at work every day pottering around and sticking his nose into everything.

Lots of big foreign names being bandied about and if that is the way they chose then I wouldn't expect United to be challenging for anything soon. They don't have the level of cash compared to City or Chelsea who can afford to change their Managers once a year and effectively change their squads with the same frequency.
The new manager will want to spend £250m and when he doesn't work out, his replacement will want to spend £250m and so in. United don't have those resources.
Liverpool have got it spot on. After decades of unprecedented success with home grown managers they went down the path of one foreign manager after another who spent million after million and won bugger all. Now they have come full circle with Rodgers who has spent next to nothing compared to City, Chelsea etc and is on the brink of bringing home the bacon.
United need to think carefully before just opting for the headline winner. I'd be looking around the UK first. Which why they went for Moyes I guess.
Mark Hughes has done a good job at Stoke taking them to their highest ever league position. Is an OT old boy and has worked at City so could handle a big club mentality. Hate to say it but also did a pretty good job at Blackburn before moving on to City. You can ignore the Fulham job.
Nigel Adkins did a fantastic job at Southampton and looks like he might get Reading up this year. Another manager who knows how to get the best out of his players and get them playing as a team. Developed players like Lallana, Rodriques, Lambert who are all now knocking at the England door.
