Can you really not imagine? Staff and transfers mostly. Attention to detail.
Granted that Manchester United has a fantastic infrastructure but there is nothing better than being hands on. If you remember back to the Arron Ramsey transfer, we sent Gary Neville to show him round the club whilst Arsenal sent Wenger. Ramsey admitted that Wenger meeting him made him feel more wanted at Arsenal and that is why he chose to sign. Before you start, yes I know that Ramsey is no great player but the principle remains the same, it is an advantage in transfer negotiations to have the manager on the ground, especially if you don't have the money that other clubs will be offering.
With Manchester United going through the most significant transition period in 26 years and with Moyes being brand new to the job it surprises me that he chose to go on holiday. Mourinho, whatever you think of him, is the elite level manager in the game now that SAF has retired. After getting told off by a few on this board for my admittedly lazy comment, I knew that Mourinho would not be taking a holiday before I looked it up, he will not miss a single beat in his quest for glory.

I am not moaning. If we do get off to a bad start I will not be blaming it on Moyes's holiday!
