That's not the question, the question is why Giggs deserves the job? Why should he be a rational candidate? And if he is a rational candidate, why should he be on top of the list?
Guardiola confirmed to City... what does this mean for us?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Read that the talks started in 2012. With Citys heavy investment in their youth setup one could think that Pep said he would say yes if they upgraded. Solid planning there
We are doing to do a Liverpool, or a Leeds.
Guardiola will walk this league, no doubt about it. It's going to be a piece of cake, easy peasy.
On another note, why don't we go for Pellegrini since he will be out of a job. He's been much more successful in the Pl than Van Gaal and his teams play attractive football.

Come on can't you and others get it into your heads that it's no the players we are missing, it's the coaching. We could sign Neymarbut we'd expect him to defend
Neymar at right wingback, I could just see it.
Giggs shouldn't make the shortlist.
For the same reasons Pep's name was on the list before he was appointed Barca manager. Giggs understands our brand of football.
Love it or hate it, he is already on the list buddy!
My dad just phoned me on the walk home from uni. Jesus christ, complete and utter worst case scenario. i now actually worry.
Let me be arrogant and go read how La Masia and Ajax academy are organized and you will understand why what you are suggesting makes no sense.
Pretty good job by City. Many of us saw it coming months ago even though people were hoping it wouldn't be the case. Not the end of the world and at least it's not as good as getting a prime messi. Now here's hoping he fails miserably.
In answer to the OP.
Let me put it this way.
You are Thiago Alcantara. You have been offered lucrative contracts to play either for LVG at United or Pep at City.
You don't need to be a genius to work out the answer. Substitute Alcantara with Bale, Neymar, Muller etc. and guess what?
The answer is the same.

Again, so would every player who has played for this football club.. are they all on the list?
If it is true that they have been in talks since 2012 and that is why all the academy work has been done it is fantastic work. Oh for a board that actually has some forward planning. Who would have thought it.
Said this last week, Pep already knows what we're about next season. He knows how much we've got to spend, what our wage bill is, targets, who we're looking to get rid off.
Pep was never coming to United.
Pep was never coming to United.
That is exactly what is happening....we are the underdogs now and the only people that dont seem to grasp this is the MUFC board.
Every fan as well, does that qualify us.
They don't at all, they will still come out with shit about us being the biggest club in the world. Sponsers will be falling over themselves to get involved with City.
What makes this worse is the fact that we can't use the "we didn't sack van Gaal because we didn't want Jose because we wanted Pep" excuse if things go haywire (more so) from here.
Ridiculous last few weeks from us. Are we being knocked off our perch?

You can go ahead with whatever makes you happy. No one is stopping you.
Enough with your shitty broad strokes. Did LVG back every player who played for us as a potential manager in the future or is it just Giggsy? Hate it or love it, his name is on the list.
Wouldn't mean all that much if we were a well run club with a manager doing the right things. Instead we're a mess from top to bottom and look to be getting worse so it means we'll likely fall even further behind them.
Liverpool didnt become shit overnight, it took a few years...and we are following right down that exact path.
Pep will be able to attract almost any elite player...imagine the City squad with Pep at the helm and one of two superstar signings? The Champions League will be certainly within their grasp.
Woodward needs to be shifted to the commercial side of MUFC ops NOW and we have to get a DOF who knows what the feck they are doing...of course this will not happen until it is too late.
We are the noisy neighbours now.
It means that we have 5 months to plan out where we want to be as a club, who we want taking us forward as manager and the players we need to target in order to improve the squad.
The fact anybody would take anything LVG says seriously is farcical.
What exactly do you do in Essex?
I think the answer to the question is... Guardiola cannot be our manager.
Eat, shit, shag, work.. live
What's that got to do with Ryan Giggs being the wrong man for the Manchester United job?
Some fans refuse to believe what is right in front of them. Its denial.
The announcement today has removed all possibility of denial and the realisation is now setting in...and its hurting.
While we're going off the topic at hand can I just point out that your username is quite fitting of our club right now.
If we don't get Mourinho now we will be years behind City by the time Pep leaves.
Sky Sports have said that United didn't want Guardiola anyway. Of course we didn't. Silly us.
Stop doing that to yourself. If they had an agreement in place long time ago, there isn't much Woody or anyone could have done to change it.
We have to get Jose in now, it's as simple as that, any other course of action will see us even further behind than we are now.
This, really.
Some usually level headed posters have gone right off the deep end today.
It isn't Pep going to City, it's that LvG is still here, that the threat of Giggs is on the horizon and his vast knowledge of signing players while Jose is sat there. If we get Jose I will be a lot happier. If we continue with old Mega ego as manager and the results stay the same I won't.
I'd like to know WHO this mythical superman DOF with his silver wand is! I've yet to see a credible person named that gets me excited.
