I have heard his name being mentioned as a replacement for years ... I don't see anything special there.

OK, I must say i see a lot of similarities with him and SAF in the way they work. I watch a lot of development games with the young teams and i must say Fergie, Moyes, Arsene and Martinez are the only premiership managers that you conatantly see attending these youth games and genuinely care about their clubs from top to bottom. I think Moyes will be the next Manager but will he be able to make a success of it? Only time will tell.

Truthfully, I would feel a little more comfortable with a name-brand coach like Klopp or Murinho, but the reality is that Moyes is the closest coach out there that has similar traits as Fergie. I remember in the early years of the league, I used to wish every year for Everton to get relegated because they played the most boring and typical English game. However, over the years, I have watch how Moyes has transformed Everton into a more attacking and pleasing-to-the-eye style of play, and he has taken mediocre players and improved them. Cahill, Lescott, Distin, Baines, Fellani etc were all mediocre when he got them and he turned them into top contenders. Everton has now become one of the hardest team to beat in the league. Imagine what he can do with a better team that has world-class players like Rooney, RVP, Carrick, DeGea, Kawaga etc. What I am pleased about is that Alex is going upstairs, which means that he will still have a firm hand with how things are going. What many haters don't realize about the Empire, is that, its success is more than just Alex Ferguson. He has created a structure which allows the club to operate at a success. Our youth academy is one of the very best in England, the training facilities is top class and they invested BP20m last year to build a top of the world medical facility. We will continue to be a success. This summer when we splash some cash to get a few world class players, then our team can seriously challenge for CL. We have a nice blend of youths and senior guys to oversee the transition. So worry about your likkle team, mine will be ok.

Did he say he is going?
In this matter of managers moving around availability is everything. ...but a good fit for BoyU would be a good tough manager/independent minded and not afraid to fire 'stars'...e.g. Rafa.

I would rule out Mourinho. When you look at his Real Madrid players and the way his team played TEAM...he failed. He never made them into cohesive unit. It was all about the individual skill level - technical level.

That Real Madrid collection of players failed on a massive scale. Not that a team should not lose to the likes of that German TEAM or Barcelona...but on comparison as TEAM=playing unit both Barcelona and the German teams were eons advanced on TEAMplay and tactical play. Mourinho failed to bring Real Madrid up to fullest potential.

So the question that may be asked of me - How is it you question the ability of such a massively successful manager?

The simple answer is, he is being compared to top managers only. Wenger, Pep Guardiola, etc....and with an expectation of improving on Fergie's latest team.

Make no mistake Fergie has failed to have BoyU kick on to his TEAM having Barcelona's or Bayern's individual player-for-player technical abilities. The BoyU's fans must be looking forward to having a BoyU team playing with the desire Fergie instilled and with addition of improved technical skill and physical strengths of each player and therefore same for TEAM as unit.

Aside: Bayern seems to be the very best TEAM on the planet at this moment. ---
*More purposeful play than Barcelona.

*Matches Barcelona on technical skills. --- save on high balls where Bayern is miles ahead of Barcelona (just saw that in the Champions League semi-final matches).

*Not similarly organized but just as well organized as Barcelona...better organized than Borussia Dortmund.

*Physically prepared to highest of highest level. Current of the teams in this year's Champions League - #1 on physical fitness or at worse on par with Borussia Dortmund. The best of the best.

...so my managers in order would be -
Jupp Heynckes of Bayern; Jurgen Klinsmann of the USA national team; Rafa, Pep Guardiola...in that order.

The coach of the Borussia Dortmund TEAM, Jürgen Klopp, for all the good work he has done...if you look at his players technical ability and physical strengths...he has underperformed. They are not as well organized as they could be... Frightening it is to think that his TEAM could be even better. He has prepared them to match Bayern in every department save organization.

Guess - I have also given it away that I have given Bayern the edge in the Champions League Final....and it is the preparation(= manager's work) that I expect to be the deciding factor.

Some kind of superstition with Scottish managers?!?

I just hope I can understand this one because I couldn't mek out a word Alex say sometimes.

[Jangle]

him barely better
