Scholes.92

I didnt think he did too bad a job to start with at Villa, he bought some shit players as every manager does now and again, but he did make big profits on Milner and Young. He got them playing good counter attacking football with Agbonlahor and Young down the wings, Carew was very good in 2009 as far as i can remember, he got the best out of Barry and Milner in the centre his defence was nothing more than decent. But he has them in the top 4 in March and if it wasn't for a late collapse would have got Champions League football, yes thats his fault but i believe that is better than what a Shite manager would have done. I wouldn't have seen Phil Brown or Paul Jewell doing that. They are shite managers, O'Neils decent, nothing more nothing less and i don't even like him as a person. Martinez for me as he's had longer to prove himself, im not too sure about Laudrups record in spain but judging him after one season in the prem which is what most are doing is a little premature if you ask me

when i say safer options i should have said more in there playing styles, as i agree in the case of Hughes he's shit, O'Neil did a very good job at Celtic and Villa. What i mean by the playing styles is that although you lot play decent football your not afraid to go mix it up and go long when you need to, also you're style seems to depend a lot on commitment, being up for it, playing at a high tempo, closing down opponents These are things that i would associate with O'Neil. Whereas Martinez seems to always get wigan to pass, pass, pass, similar to Swansea. Now i can see some of your players being able to play this football, Osman, Mirallas and Barkley mainly but not all. Thats the reason i think it would be the safer option. Go with whats similar and even if its not as good the worst you'll probably do is 10th, but if Martinez comes in and tries to change it too much then it could get even worse.

Im a united fan and thought i'd sign up and see how you lot are taking the news about Moyes leaving, how he will fare at united and who you think will be replacing him?. You must be feeling pretty similar to how us united fans are feeling right now. I was absolutely gutted yesterday morning when i heard the news confirmed that Fergie was leaving. Worst feeling football wise that i have ever felt but after having time to get used to it and to the idea of Moyes taking over i believe he is the right man. He's done an excellent job with you lot. Forgive me if im wrong as i was born in 92 so can only clearly remember the last 10 years but were you not midtable or lower for the few years before he joined? Yes you were and still are one of Englands biggest clubs but at the time you only seemed as if you'd possibly go down if anything, then he takes over and has slowly built you back up. I remember hearing the other week how Moyes has built the club up, changing things from top to bottom, making his mark everywhere, making it his club so to speak, the same way Ferguson has. I believe he has many similar qualities, his ability to motivate, rebuild squads and also as i said the way he's made it into his club. So although i am sad that the greatest manager i have ever seen is bringing down the curtain on his incredible career, I am excited to see what Moyes brings. Now onto Everton, obviously he is a massive loss to you and like me with united you're thinking "whoever we get wont be as good" but you never know, a change like Martinez who seems favourite could work out. A manager who has also worked on a pretty small budget and has overachieved. I do believe that is the way to go, someone new, someone whos more of a risk, instead of going down the Hughes/O'Neil route which would seem more of a safer bet. I have always had a soft spot for Everton. Probably because you're Liverpools rivals and because of Howard, Neville, Saha and now Gibson, so i do hope you get the right man, as i would love to see you in the top 4 over Spurs, Arsenal and the two Sugar Daddy clubs any day of the week. One think for certain the next few days, weeks and the coming season will be extremely interesting for both clubs. Good luck
