What made us win the league by according to others, "not a great United team", was the experience of getting us over the line. That's what we'll miss from SAF. Alan Hansen, whose views most of the times are OK, said he couldn't see United winning the title they had recently without SAF and he's right. That experience will be irreplaceable. However, again, once Moyes wins his first one and the experience of Giggs, Rio, Vidic will guide him along. In the crunch times of the title race, for the first season, it'll probably be the players guiding the team forward rather than the manager as because Moyes hasn't been involved in title races, it'll be abit difficult for him to give team talks on how he's done it, when he hasn't yet. That'll be a challenge for him how he adapts and overcomes that, again, probably using the experienced pros to get them over the line. But you hope once he wins it, then it'll give him that confidence and get the monkey off his back about no trophies.
Even the Community Shield is a positive start for him, if we win. Certainly will help.
