Seriously, when fergie was retiring I was always saying I feel he will pick somebody that will not be able to achieve what he has achieved. fergie has probably the second biggest footballing ego behind mourinho. He always loved talking about what "I've" done, not what united did or the team did, but what he did himself. He left right at the time he knew the club was going to begin to plummet as age took over and other clubs started spending silly money on transfers, and he put a manager in that was good for a club like Everton (so it's understandable that he was chosen), but not good enough to lead a "top club." There were so many other managers available that were much better qualified and would have gladly came to united, but he chose Moyes instead.
Call it bull Sh*t, call it a conspiracy, call it want you want, but fergie wanted to be idolized for the rest of his life, and in my opinion he knew EXACTLY what he was doing when it came to the timing of him retiring, and the incoming manager.
Long may the decline continue! If no champions league happens and they actually spend silly money, United will be in deep Sh*t, very soon.
