Don't get too excited people. This just eliminates the built in "we were out managed by the greatest ever" excuse.

The path has been cleared for Roy Keane's homecoming and return to management

The Glazers will hire Ron Zook for one season to run it into the ground. Then the special one can white knight in.

Moyes is a very Sir Alex-like successor. It's growing on me.

Why?

And are you not a huge fan because you're a Liverpool fan who is scared of it?

But seriously...why?

I mean, I understand the hire, I really do. I know the Glazers probably value loyalty as highly as anything else. And Moyes certainly has great knowledge of the game.

But by nature I am skeptical of a perennial midtable manager taking over a top 3 biggest club in the world. I mean, you're giving Manchester United to a manager whose only experience with the Champions League came almost a decade ago in qualifiers..

Football begins and ends with European success now. Moyes will be handed a fantastic team in a great situation, but there is no time for a learning curve when you manage Manchester United.
