Moyes is SAF's successor:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22453802
Should be an interesting time for United. Will Moyes be good enough? Say what you will about what he did at Everton, but the pressure at United will be in a whole other galaxy.
It will be interesting to see what he does with the seemingly endless transfer funds that will be made available.
Limitless transfer funds do not a great team make ........
Aygov, are you part Yoda?
Not saying he can make a great team buying players.
I'm just curious what type of players he goes after.
Limitless transfer funds do not a great team make (see citeh and Chelsea). Look at how Rafa hasn't been able to turn Chelsea around (relatively speaking) and Mancini's last hope for silverware is the FA cup...
rafa signed ba for 7 million
That's limitless transfer funds?
And Mata was 35 mill.....
I know he wasn't Rafa's transfer, but he hasn't been there long enough to get to the summer window.
12/13 they spent 95 mill on players... You can say that's not limitless, but it's close enough.
mata was a steal at 35 million without him they would be alot worse
if you want to talk about bad signings torres, teams that blew money on nothing QPR & Liverpool
Chelsea & Man City get quite a bit of bang for what they spent.
You do know
Chelsea won the FA cup & Uefa champions league last year.
Man City won the Premier league last year
I'm not talking about bad signings. I'm talking about the fact that Chelsea are owned by a billionaire who, depending on whether he is inclined, can furnish them with massive amounts of cash to buy players.
And yes, they both won stuff last year, but do you honestly think the goal of either of those clubs is to win stuff some of the time. Spending 95 million and then fighting with Arsenal and Spurs for a CL place isn't exactly a good year....
So what are the odds that Jose Mourinho doesn't join Man U? He's planning on leaving Bernabeu only other suitor mentioned is returning to Chelsea, but unless all he cares about is money, I can't imagine he'd pass up Man U who are a much better squad and could be in the UCL mix next year. I'd imagine him leaving Real is an indicator he's not all about the money. I have a hunch (though I may be entirely wrong) that Sir Alex and Mourinho have been talking in private about Fergie retiring and Mourinho taking over. Coudl be wrong of course. Only other guy I see United taking would be Moyes, but I don't know if his style meshes with Man U.
If Man City wins the FA cup both Man City & Chelsea will have more trophies then Man United these past 3 years. I think that's the owners goal is to win trophies so far they have done it.
rafa signed ba for 7 million that's it
That's limitless transfer funds?
What are we debating about here again?
You've gone from Chelsea don't have tons of money to City and Chelsea have more trophies than United in the last 3 years...

you said this
I pointed out "citeh" & Chelsea have won more trophies then Man U lately. So I guess you could say all that money bought those trophies.
Never said Chelsea didn't have much money just pointed out Rafa spent 7 million on transfers.
I'm not a Chelsea fan but what they did last year was pretty great in my book.
Man U spent alot more then City this year and it turned out to be the difference. Van Persie was a great buy. I'm guessing city spends big this summer
I don't know why Mancini didn't start Costel Pantilimon . You ride the horse that got you there.
HA, Currently on Pantilimon's wiki page:
"Time showed though, that the hypocritical Mancini lied and started with Joe Hart as goalkeeper for the FA Cup Final."
Here are the transfer expenditures / revenues over the last 10 years.
I'd say ManU have blown Chelsea and city out of the water when it comes to bang for the buck.
besides an observation of the last january transfer window, where have you been the past 10 years?
Mata 23m
Hazard 32m
Torres 50m
There are about 10 others I can think of that were 20m+

BTW, Ba is worth about 7m, and thats being generous.
