TF90M makes a case for David Moyes to be the man to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.
Despite being beaten by two Liverpudlians in consecutive weeks, Steven Gerrard and Danny Murphy, Manchester United may need to look at another man in Merseyside to succeed Sir Alex at Old Trafford.
Whilst Liverpool themselves have entered back into the title race with Benitez securing a new contract, it is Everton's boss, David Moyes, who fans and pundits have cited as a possible successor to Ferguson's throne.
Securing Everton as a consistently top ranking team, Moyes, with arguably not the strongest squad, has worked miracles at the club. He has managed to get the best out of just about everyone and has the Ferguson trait of being quick to recognise and discard exceptions. His shrewd signings of Mikel Arteta and Tim Cahill, both exceptional players, displays his nous in the transfer market. Furthermore Moyes is not just respected by Everton fans but also by his peers having won the League Managers Association manager-of-the-year awards in 2003 and 2005.
Despite the coincidence that Moyes and Ferguson were both born in Glasgow and passed through Drumchapel Amateurs, would the Scotsman be able to succeed the great Sir Alex?
Having learnt from Sir Tom Finney whilst at Preston North End, Moyes stepped up to the task at Everton and has duly succeeded. However has he taken the Toffees as far as he can? Is he ready for a new challenge?
Although there are other candidates including illustrious former players and managers who possess Champions League experience, for British football it would be fantastic to see another British manager continue to rule at the world's biggest club.
Skeptics may argue Moyes has little ‘big-game' experience, no silverware success and is better on a tight-budget. Perhaps they're right.
However it will be hard for anyone to follow in the footsteps of Ferguson, and with Moyes you are guaranteed a long-serving manager who entices long-serving players, the key to long-term success. Add that Scottish fury into the mix and Moyes could perhaps be the ideal replacement for United.

I may not agree with you that Moyes would be good replacement for SAF. Everyone know Moyes good abilities in management but i would suggest for you another British manager who has similarity with Sir Alex in VISION but not nationality
