    Another manager sacked. And the early bookies favourite is a certain Mark Hughes......

    Earlier in the season the reports were saying the most likely new manager for Salford would be Giggs so I would imagine it's more likely to be him than Hughes. Either that or Keane as there was talk Ratcliffe wants to bring him into United as an Assistant Manager but that Keane had been having talks with another club about a manager role.

    Not necessarily transfer related but Salford have sacked Wood.

    Shame really. We could have done with hammering them rather than having the match cancelled. With a decent appointment and some investment in January they could be a tricky opponent in the second half of the season.

    Perhaps ex Man Utd legend Mark Hughes could make his managerial swansong?

    Gigs maybe. Though Hughes will have a strong connection to the Class of 92 lot. He will have been an inspirational figure as they were breaking through.

    If it is Hughes, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out

    Not surprising he's been sacked, 6 points from relegation and only 1 league win in 11 will see any manager in trouble. I think the links of Mark Hughes are the easy, lazy links. The reality for them is that they are in a relegation fight so they can't afford to get this wrong or they could go down.

    Let Neville do it.
    He tries to come across as some sort of fu@king football expert every time he appears on Sky.

    On second thoughts,his stint at Valencia shows he might not be the right man.

    Neville knows what he is talking about when it comes to football, but management is more complex than that and not everyone is cut out for those other sides of management. The language barrier wouldn't have helped but he didn't seem to have the man-management and the ability to inspire players. I feel he has more of either a coach profile like he did for England or maybe an analyst if he was going to get back involved in the playing side of football again. Although maybe he would do better as a manager without the language barrier

    His job is to give his opinion on football and analyse matches. He's very good at that but it is completely different to be a manager. He acknowledges that his time at Valencia was a disaster and that he never wants to be a manager and no club would want him.
