But if that is the case, and they have somebody with a CV and an experience and a track record that is much better than Michael Carrick, then that's the decision that they have to make.

And I think that was the point Shaka was making.

We can't make these sort of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Well, it might be.

But because it hasn't worked once or twice doesn't mean it won't sort of work again.

I don't know.

There's no easy answer for this Man United job.

And you are right.

There's a difficulty here.

We've discussed this on the show.

I think Mark Ogden in particular has written a piece or two on the FC website about the balancing act of waiting to see how this goes.

And then missing out on potential other managers because, let's be honest, they're not the only club going to be looking for a manager.

Chelsea may be looking, who knows what's going to happen with Rosinha.

Tottenham will be looking.

Okay, they haven't got the pull of Man United, but they will be looking.

Maybe Man City will be looking in the summer for a manager.

If Guardiola, if it falls apart and he says, oh, Arsenal are too strong, I've had enough of this, I've got this 115 charges, all this, I'm packing it in.

That's just three or four clubs in England alone.

Never mind before you get to Spain, Italy, Germany and the rest.

So there is a danger in playing the waiting game.
