No.. Just no. I'm a die-hard fan of Giggs and Scholes, Scholes even more so as a player. But directly as a manager is not the way for Giggs right now. A manager is not just managing the team right tactically, during the game, and Giggs is not even established in that itself right now. Yesterday was an anamoly, players were so happy to be rid of Moyes, and being given the chance to attack, that they tried their 150%. Maintaining a team throughout the season is what a manager does, and Giggs is as yet unproven. And while he is a legend to us, he has no pulling power as a manager outside the club. That could cause some issues with transfers. And the true test of tactical nous comes during the lean and difficult part where you have to get it spot on, we don't yet know if Giggs can do that. Also, the contacts that Giggs has atm, is minimal compared to the rest.
Oh and Woodward? Seriously? If it was David Gill, heck, yes, it could have been a possibility. Woodward is all set to do a ****** or PSG and look only at big names, you atleast need a manager with his own thoughts regarding the transfer market. Giggs as yet lacks experience there, and leaving Woody run untethered is filling me with trepidation. We'll just become another big spending club under him :\
So, atm, no, not Giggs. But, ideally, Giggs should be AM to van Gaal, or atleast start managing reserves. 3 years down the line, he can come in, with more knowledge of the nous of the managerial post and take over.
Glazers won't be happy unless a top-top finish occurs. It is too much to expect Giggs to be able to do that in his first season in charge. And I for one, don't want to see Giggs fired by the likes of Glazers. Hells no! :\ He won't be given time, which is what he needs if he takes over the team now. Instead, van Gaal building a base for the team and Giggs in coaching means he'll be studying under an experienced manager to take over a team which does not require total rehauling..
But definitely, Giggs should be our Manager after van Gaal. Not Klopp, screw him. He doesn't want to move, it's his loss. We're Manchester United, managers come running for the job, not us running behind Klopp now, nor running behind him 4 years later. Atm, our transfer and manager search reeks of desperation. We need our old arrogance back more, imo.. The atmosphere that'll be there when Giggs takes over should be electric. If you add Scholes, Neville, Neville and **** to the coaching list, and maybe Beckham as DoF (what a pull for transfers), it'll be out of this world.
