Assuming that David Moyes is indeed the new guvnor at Old Trafford, I believe Man United have made a big mistake.
When Busby went upstairs at Utd, first Wilf McGuinness and then Frank O'Farrell both struggled to maintain his success.
Similarly, as Fergie now follows the same route David Moyes could well find the shadow of Fergie overwhelming. Moyes is an outsider like O'Farrell.
I would go for Giggs as the new boss - he is not a Wilf McGuinness. OK, both were on the Utd playing staff but Giggs is much tougher and has a coach's footballing brain.
Giggs would be my man.
Having said that, why are Utd in this position? Why didn't they approach the man who should be taking over - Pep Guardiola?
Instead, with Moyes, they have gone for a boss on a shoestring. They could have had the most successful manager of the last five years to replace the most successful boss ever. Instead, it looks like they have gone for a steadying hand, who has never won anything.
