Just answering the question.

If Pereira has been interviewed (can't find proof of this but enough people are saying it) than I remain optimistic.
All circumstantial evidence suggests he has.
The man has experience winning leagues at a club with massive expectations and as well as exposure to European football.

Even though the gut says Martinez is a given, I hold out hope.

I'm all for optimism, but I'd say it probably looks more like Pereira wants the job but Bill doesn't want to give it to him. Pereira is hanging on for it, and Bill is keeping him hanging as his Plan C. I'm not even going to say Plan B, because I think that's an internal appointment unfortunately.

Not blaming you brennan, but we have fans who honestly seem to rate one win at old trafford over two wins against man u at goodison.

I'd rather finish 6th than win at a big ground and finish 16th.

Wigan have only taken 3 points of man utd in six years
They hadn't scored a goal past city in 3 years till the cup final
They have the worst home form in the league, we are in the top 3.

Suppose it's just frustrating for the people who follow us away to often be greeted by utterly s**thouse performances. I think the shout of Moyes being a bit one track minded is evidenced by his lack of ability to beat the bigger teams away from home.

 

[Ihaters]

Wow, impressive stuff............however....

He also lost 37 of the other games they played, including a spell of 8 consecutive defeats from Sept to Nov in 2011.

This I would consider a little more important.

Not necessarily against the big teams, but for me one win away to West Ham or Villa, say, feels at least twice as good as a home win.

Do City & Spurs not count as 'bigger teams' then?

As I posted earlier, the cynic in me agrees with you 100%.

The optimist belives the board is being prudent with the interview process and accessing all candidates with an open mind and on merit.

This ofcourse will lead us to Pereira

To me that counts in his favour. One of the things I hold against the likes of di matteo is they've never shown the ability to take a losing team and get it winning again.

Moyes could and Martinez can too.

He hasn't beaten Spurs away in four years. They are a much different team to the one which we beat in 2008.
