I'm surely not saying it will happen with United - as I said SAF is leaving Moyes about as good of a situation as you can possibly imagine. But if come this time next season, and Moyes happens to be fighting for fourth place, United fans/administration will immediately regret not chasing Mou/Klopp/Pellegrini/Ancelotti.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think United will be fighting for fourth next season.

Not saying they're a title lock by any means, but, like you said, SAF is handing the keys to Moyes in a great spot. (Still need to upgrade our freaking central midfield if we want to go deep in Europe.) There will be changes, but will it be enough changes to keep United from being the well-oiled machine it has been in league play?

I just don't think getting a Mou or a Klopp would make United that much better in the league compared to Moyes. Granted, would be my #1 choice, but that's because he seems like he would be more committed to staying at United long-term than Mou.

Neither do I by any stretch.

But at the same time, nobody expected Chelsea to go from 2nd to 6th the year AVB was appointed, or for Liverpool to go from 2nd to 7th in 08/09, or for Newcastle to go from 5th to a relegation battle this season.

United have been fantastic this season, but the rest of the league has also been historically poor.
