Our systems are all in place though, and our targets were identified before Moyes left. All he needs to do is pick up the reins, he'll no doubt have some guidance from the backroom staff that's already there, and I'd dare say he's picked up a few things here and there along the way too. I don't think it's the big gamble and step up that you might think for him.
I also think his name will attract a better calibre of player, and he's more likely to know who's pretty handy and unheard of in the Portuguese and Spanish leagues. He'll also no doubt be aware of who Porto were lining up for next season too, a raid could be on to get in there first.
I think there are more positives than negatives, and he'll offer far more than Martinez would
Why would he proceed with Moyes' transfer targets? That wouldn't make any sense whatsoever mate. He's his own man and will want to implement his own system. It would seem a lot of that backroom systen is following their master to Old Trafford too.
It's a massive step up from having one of the best two squads in a poor league in Portugal to coming to very tight financially ran club in the competitive Premier League and expected to over perform.
How can we be sure he'd offer more than Martinez when he's only been a coach and not a manager?
I'm not sure Martinez is the answer either but if it was me making that decision from a business point of view then I'd be siding with Martinez and focusing more keenly on the appropriate number 2 to assist him.
