Children of Men.

It's absolutely fantastic. I have no idea why I hadn't heard of it before today, because it's easily the best contemporary sci-fi film I've seen.

any chance of Kagawa going back to Dortmund?

So that Man City team were new to Europe but had a very experienced manager, shouldn't have had problems.

That Chelsea team had all the expectations in Europe that season, they were heading out and that's why AVB got sacked.

Well what's your point really? Moyes will fail because he hasn't managed to win trophies, get Everton into the Champions League? Any manager who takes over this role is going to be under a great deal of pressure.

The only managers I can think of that are good enough and I'd say available Mourinho, Moyes, Heynckes and maybe Kloop.

Middlesbrough won the league cup as well iirc, not sure if it's inside the last decade though.

It's stupid to suggest Moyes would fail at United just because he hasn't won anything at Everton. Theres no doubt it'd be a step up and he'd be under a lot of pressure but so would Mourinho, Kloop or any other manager replacing arguably the greatest manager in the history of football.

Roberto Mancini has European experience and has handled world class players but couldn't get out his group two years running. What about Di Matteo last season? No real European experience in management and had been sacked by West Brom, won the Champions League. Experience is helpful, but it's not the only thing that matters. Everton played a huge part in us failing to win the league last season and beat us on the opening day this season.

As for what evidence do I have he'll play attacking football?
Well outside the top 5 and Liverpool they've scored the most goals, sounds kind of attacking to me.

It seems you've made your mind up that he'd fail at United which isn't fair at all.

He's not my first choice, I'd prefer Kloop if we're looking at a long term successor.

He has little experience in Europe and with world class players due to Everton being broke.

As for trophies that's again hardly his fault. I think Swansea and Portsmouth are the only other teams to win in the last decade outside of United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, the latter going broke because of that spending.

I think he'll play attacking football and have a go, certainly more than what Mourinho will do.
