4 years is long term in the modern game.
Not if you're Fergie's replacement it's not.

I think the reason he wants to leave Barca so early is purely because he has won every competition possible numerous times from the Supercopa to the CL and there is nothing left to achieve. Where as if he was going to go to Man U personally I think it would be a lot harder and more time-consuming to achieve the same. Also another reason for his success is that he was already managing Barca B and already had an understanding of how the club worked as well as already having relationships with the players etc:
Understandable, but unless we could be sure of that I'd hesitate in appointing him as a manager...

If that means he would stick to ManUtd for 10 or so years then that would be ideal, however I'm not sure he would be ready to make such a commitment. Very few managers would be, but to go from having a manager that personifies continuity to having a lot of managers in a relatively short period of time (say 3-4 years) that quickly just seems like a sure way of failure.
