Used to hate SAF with a vengeance when we used to compete with Manu back in the old days. Now I respect him as the best manager football has seen - who has done wonders with teams that have had players inferior to the competition in recent years.

Moyes coming in with SAF staying on in a mentoring role seems possible to me - in many ways Moyes could be regarded as a chip off the old block - and his achievements for Everton on the tiny budget available to him have been considerable. Mourinho and Pellegrini are the only managers with anything like the kudos of SAF - and Mourinho would have the ego to step into SAF's shoes. But neither will go to United if SAF stays on in any capacity.

...Somehow it seems hard to believe that SAF is ready to go altogether....
