A lot of people said, even before Fergie retired, that the time to be Utd's manager was after the first one.

If I was a Spurs fan I would be worried about his general nagative demeanour and playing style, Spurs like Utd have an attacking tradition. Noises coming from OT is that he was more concerned about how to stop the opposition than Utd going forward. He was a defender as a player, I think it's just the way he is and he won't change.

I can see him going abroad to get out of the limelight like Steve Maclaren did, or maybe Celtic if Lennon moves south...

Celtic have an attacking tradition too - so no thanks.

No really, well I never did, you're so well up on these things aren't you? So back to the question then. Van Gaal was never likely to go to Spuds while he had a hole in his arse is the most likely response.

Rafa plays boring football and doesn't change things (especially not in a positive way) when things need changing. I know he's much loved at Liverpool, and I think he's a good man, but his footy didn't do much for me.


Yes the champs league win was incredibly exciting, but he can hardly be credited with masterminding a second half come back from being 3-0 down.

The same could be said of Tim Sherwood at Spurs. A clueless twonk in my opinion. Good luck to Giggs though.


He may not be the chosen one but he is the one who chooses to shag his brother's wife.

Giggs has two important advantages over Sherwood- been at the club all his life and would have the respect of everyone. Guardiola anyone?

      That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too.

      Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Angelina · Posted

      Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
