Sir Jim Ratcliffe names decision Man Utd should NOT have let Sir Alex Ferguson make

Sir Jim Ratcliffe insists that Sir Alex Ferguson David Moyes should never have gotten his successor to Manchester United.

The legendary former Old Trafford -Baas ran away from management in 2013, after winning a 13th Premier League crown. While he left, the owners of the club and then CEO David Gill – also left – allowed Ferguson to chose the man who would replace him at the helm.

The Scot carefully shunned the will of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp – all than potential candidates – and selected Everton -Baas Moyes as his replacement. Unfortunately for Moyes and United, his term of office lasted only nine months before he was fired in April 2014.

For Ratcliffe, now the management of football affairs at the club after he had become co-owner, Moyes was never the right man for the track.

“Look, I love David Moyes, and I think he is a really good manager, but to go from Sir Alex Ferguson to Moyes is not where I would have gone,” said Ratcliffe frankly in an interview with The Times.

“Moyes stepped into Ferguson's shoes, who has won the Premier League 13 times, who won the Champions League twice and then hands you to a man who has never managed big players and never won anything.

“He did not necessarily leave the personality for all of them. And I don't think Real Madrid would have made that choice as a coach.

“If you look at coaches, a club cannot always do well, but they should have found the best chief executive in the world and the best coach in the world, because Manchester United is the best club in the world. Instead, they both got decisions wrong. '

Since Moyes there have been nine more United managers – whether they are permanent or caregiver bosses.

Yet nobody was able to lead the club to where Fergie left them: the Premier League title.
