    Paddy power slashed the odds on David moyes as next manager a few days ago.

    Maybe.

    Mourinho?

    Is that a joke?

    They mentioned the other day he need surgery and could miss the start of next season.

    The job is made for Mourinho, or Gus McPherson.

    If I was them id go for Pellegrini from Malaga. He has done great with Villarreal, Real Madrid and Malaga. Is a strong character and a good age at 59 to have a good 10 seasons in him.

    Doesn't really say at all that he's ready to step down, far from it really.
    I think he really does want to win the Champion League 1 more time before he quits for good.

    But of course if he has health issues at all then that might bump up the date for any retirement.

    Do they have Gregg's down there?

    Could be the deal breaker whether McCoist takes it or not.

    Certainly won't be that donkey Lennon getting it anyway...

    None.

    I cant see him retiring but you forget hes almost 72, hes older than my granny :smiley-laughing002: if the surgery is failry big then you could imagine it taking a while for a 72 year old to recover. Our manager was only 2 year old when he started managing!

    Ferguson himself has already cancelled one retirement date, which was originally scheduled for the end of the 2001-02 season, and passed the normal retirement age of 65 two years ago. Since then he has stubbornly refused to clarify his intentions and has fluctuated from saying he has "many years" left to insisting that he will not work beyond the advanced age of 70.
