As we all know, Sir Alex Ferguson managed 4 other current Premiership managers at Old Trafford.

Who do you think out of the 4 ex United players (sons) do you think will do the best job at their respective club?

Question:
Which one of Fergie's 'Sons' will finish highest in the Premiership or do the best job of the 4?

Choices:
Paul Ince (Blackburn)
Mark Hughes (Manchester City)
Roy Keane (Sunderland)
Steve Bruce (Wigan)

 

Hughes. Clearly.

He has the most talented current squad, the biggest chequebook and is the better manager.

His real son, Darren?

I voted Sparky, partly because he's Welsh, partly because he's already the best of the lot listed

Is this the relegation thread?

Keane

Interesting question HSg.

Logic says Mark Hughes; the most monye to play with & the biggest club, but money is not always everything.

The beauty of Hughes' management up to now is that he hasn't had masses of money to play with & having all that money might just warp his thinking so to speak.

I have a feeling for Roy Keane.

He did brilliantly in division 1 (or whatever the Football League are calling it this season) & he kept Sunderland up last season & he now knows what he is up against & I think that will stand Roy in good stead.

Oh I hope so, cap'n.

What is the measure of success we're using here? Is it to get a big(ish) club like Man City into the UEFA Cup/Champions League after spending tens of millions building up a large squad? Or is it achieving mid-table safety on a limited budget like Wigan? Or achieving mid-table safety after a season dangerously flirting with relegation after spending tens of millions like Keane?

Ince must have something about him. He dragged Macclesfield out of the mire two seasons ago - they were well adrift at the bottom of League Two and looked dead and buried when he took over around Christmas time and then he got MK Dons up last season. The test is can he cut it at a higher level.

Now that is a good question!!!

Thinking about it, I can't really answer that one.

I'm retreating to my nearest fence to park my backside on it!!!
