Carlos The Jacksie?


It looks like the Mighty Reds are to face a fight to hold on to Carlos Queiroz after the Pork and Cheese made him their number one target to succeed the Rent Boys new bum boy.The Portuguese FA President, Gilbert Medail, is understood to have travelled to the Republik early this week to make an offer to Sir Fergies right hand man. A couple of years ago nobody really gave a badgers bollock whether he stayed at OT but his influence seems to have made United better prepared for taking on the might of Europe. If he leaves this could have a major impact on Ronaldo's future. Queiroz is very close to Ronaldo and was seen as a crucial bargaining tool in keeping the winger at Old Trafford. He must weigh up whether it would be a better move to progress his managerial career with Portugal, or stay at United in the hope that he will take over from Fergie when the Red wine finally gets the better of the man from The Gorbals.

Queiroz still believes that he can make the grade as a manager despite a torrid season in charge of Franco's Eleven five years ago. He could have gone to The Lisbon Lions last season but opted to stay at OT and nurtered Anderson and Nani. I'm sure that Fergie would hate to lose the Queir man but just as with Kiddo, Wally with the Brolly and Queiroz once before, he is unlikely to stand in the way of his assistant's ambition to progress.

We might sometimes be pretty dreadful to watch with his (in)famous 4-6-0 formation against the mighty minnows from Prague a couple of years ago but he's getting better. And the other Porkie might stay with him.
