To continue my miserable old git mood, I hope they choose Giggs and I hope he fails. It's ludicrous how some people assume he's bound to be a good manager, given no evidence. Of course, he might turn out to be fantastic but why do people assume he'll be good. Look what happened to Neville, and he seemed really knowledgeable.
I'd choose Rowett, but he didn't play for a "big" club, nor is he foreign, so no chance of that happening.
