I've been saying it would be Moyes for years, I think since he previously threatened to retire! It was an obvious choice and the sensible one, sadly it may mean they continue to be strong. Bringing in 'A name' would have meant them stamping their ego on the club and could have been hilarious in the Liverpool mold - Change Manager (Usually for a foreign manager who doesn't know the English game enough), spend millions (On players who are, at best, average), promise the earth, struggle, get sacked. Repeat ad infinitum. The Champions League win used up at least 10 years good luck in one season for them! Other than that it's been distinctly barren and I think Man U would potentially have gone the same way. Unfortunately I don't think they will with Moyes. I still have an inkling Mourinho is going to Man City, despite all the press shoeing him into Chelsea again.
