David Gill #MUTV exclusive: "Momentous day for the club, the fans and the whole football world. We knew this day would come and we have been preparing for that. Board will take council from Sir Alex and Sir Bobby on new appointment. The new manager will have to have experience in both England and European competitions. Working with Sir Alex has been the highlight of my career."
Benitez it is then.

He is a true Icon, I personally didn't like him but you're an idiot if you think what he has done is not out of this world. Respect.

Kalac, I must bow down and ask forgiveness as I too have now found fondness towards Ke$ha. I shall support your shouts at Cristina from now on.

Nah, bring back Captain Fantastic. The one and only, Roy Keane! Give him a 10 year contract.

I know everyone is giving you grief.... but one lesson to be learned here:
There is always a breaking point for secrets. The bigger they are the easier it is for them to leak. It doesn't matter how well run an organization is.

Is SAF left now, his replacement would be Moyes or possibly Klopp, who was linked the other day. Probably Moyes though.
But he isn't going anywhere. He is having hip surgery in the Summer so might miss some pre season though.
The 'news' of his departure has hit the world pretty fast though. It's all over Spain and Italy
Odds were slashed by some book makers suggesting Moyes would join United as SAF's assistant next season. Then the Telegraph reported this story and now odds have been slashed on Moyes becoming the manager.
Apparently United are preparing a statement, which I expect will put this story to rest, with the end result being all Telegraph journalists banned from press conferences for a long time

Moyes' playing style would be closer to Ferguson's than people think. At Everton, Moyes puts out a compact, "negative" team because he doesn't have the most talented squad. What does Ferguson do when he thinks the opposition has better players?
Things we can take from Moyes' time at Everton:
- He commands the respect of his players and creates an intensely motivated group
- He's a pragmatist with a proven record of maximising his resources
- He makes controlling the midfield a priority, in sharp contrast with United in recent years
None of those are bad things.
Still, if it was my decision I'd want someone with a bit of creative spark in their tactical approach. I think someone like Klopp would provide a natural progression from Ferguson, in that he'd maintain the pace and intensity but add some tactical depth.
