Coming back to Klopp though, could we not make an outrageous offer to both him and Dortmund that they couldn't really refuse? In theory?

I expect the board want to avoid another repeat of the Fabregas saga though.

And that makes them qualified to manage 1 of the worlds biggest clubs? Being a succesful player and being a succesful manager are 2 very, very different things! Name me the last hugely succesful footballer that has went on to become an elite level manager, with success? Not including Josep Guardiola lol.
 
If United appoint an ex-player long term I'll laugh more than when Moyes was appointed, I don't know how the fans can even consider it after Moyes this is no time for romanticism and risk taking the club is in crisis.

blanc?
 
Alex McLeish, Mark Hughes, Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, Roy Keane, Steve Bruce, Gordon Strachan, Mark McGhee...

A small selection of men that played under Sir Alex and have went on to become managers... Would any of those guys be considered good enough to take on the job?

You never know, Giggs, Scholes or Butt might be the next Sir Alex, but they surely have to go to a club with smaller expectations and prove themselves before ever being considered. It is not a job for someone inexperienced. Heck, Moyes is vastly experienced at managing at a decent level and he was nowhere even close to bekng able to hack it.
 
guess sacking moyes wasn't all that bad

Commercial revenues are soaring for the club. They were up by £42.3m (€51.4m, $71m) – a decent 18.8% for the quarter ending 31 December and 30% for the year to date.

Broadcasting revenues increased by 18.7% to £46.9m, mainly due to the new television deals in place with broadcasters such as BskyB and the BBC.

Executive vice chairman, Ed Woodward, said in a statement: "We once again achieved a record revenue quarter with strong contributions from our commercial and broadcasting businesses despite the current league position, which everyone from the Team Manager [who has since been sacked since the release of the statement] down has acknowledged is disappointing."

In the second quarter, United also secured six new sponsorships with Fuji TV, Banif Bank, Unilever, Hong Kong Jockey Club, STC and SPOTV Korea all agreeing deals with the club. Sponsorship revenue in total was £29m in the same period of time, up 39.4%.

Following the confirmation that Moyes had departed from Old Trafford, the club's shares jumped in value by over 6% yesterday, reaching the highest they've been since May 2013 when Sir Alex Ferguson was still in control of the club.

Just two hours after Moyes' sacking, the club's price on the New York Stock Exchange had increased by $100m to over $3bn.

The club is also slowly chipping away at its huge debt. United had a gross debt of £356m when 2013 came to a close, which was down 2.7% on the previous year.

United are expected to invest heavily in the squad in the coming summer transfer market as they look to overhaul an ageing squad and resurrect the team for the 2014/15 season.

Woodward's ability commercially has never been in question (the way he has grown us in that respect is just immense) Let's just hope the summer was a blip in his new role.

Not going to lie, the chances of that aren't all that great. :p

In all seriousness though, could Utd possibly be preparing to go down a continental style route of General Manager with perhaps Giggs as Head Coach?

in the future term I think it's possible but more likely LVG for multiple reasons that seem to fit the current situation , he also generally keeps existing backroom staff whilst bringing in his own so Giggs could be on the staff gaining more experience

So it sounds like (from all the papers who seem to be on the same page) Ancelotti is the boards number one choice. If Real get knocked out of the CL and lose La Liga to Atletico, I suppose there's a chance he'll get the boot there/will be able to leave.

If Real were to sack Ancelotti, who would they bring in to replace him? They would most likely have the same options available as United currently do, and would any of those be an improvement on Ancelotti?

I'd love to have him at United, but I can't see it happening.
