Seems it's been confirmed by media outlets that at some point on Tuesday Moyes will definetly be sacked. I have no idea why as behind Rodgers he's been my favourite manager this year.

David Moyes has been sacked. Confirmed by United.

 

Feel sorry for Moyes, it's not good when managers lose their jobs.

Yep, it's all done and dusted.

 

I think this has been handled very badly by the Glazer family. As has been pointed out, Moyes was far more successful in his first year than Fergie was and yes the game has moved on but I felt he should have been given this summer and the start of next season to see if he could put it right.

 

You sign a man on a 6 year contract, sack him after 10 months and leak the details of the sacking to the press before telling him directly. That is really poor form in my opinion.

Should have given him more time. But as things stand, all for the better.

Feel sorry for him. Dragged into this. Nothing formal until every single media went berserk.

I cucked Alex Jones

He inherited a team that won the PL by a comfortable margin and let them slip to seventh place. I know SAF was there for twenty something years, but other clubs have changed managers in the past and found success in their first year in charge. There is no excuse for how United is playing.

Moyes go to FC Barcelona please!!!

 

by the way, "Molles" (Pronunced Moyes) in Catalan means Bread Crumbs

United arent a sacking clib, but no United manager would ever say:

"We must aspire to City's level"

 

That was disgraceful, Moyes should be ashamed.

 

Giggsy for now, I'm happy with that until the end of the season.

Too many people are giving him excuses.

 

Not achieving success wasn't Moyes' fault, I don't think many Utd fans or anyone were expecting him to actually win the title or any trophy. But to fail so badly is definitely his fault. For them to not get CL football next season isn't something you can excuse him from or blame on poor upper management and bad transfer policy. He had the squad to get top 4, easily. 6th or 7th place finish is Moyes' own doing. It's not like he even failed but with a good philosophy, if he'd have at least tried to play an expansive positive style of football I might have some sympathy for him. But it was just so negative and boring.

I told you guys right from the beginning that Moyes was garbage and would be sacked this season! No one believed me.

 

"YOUR JOB NOW IS TO STAND BY YOUR NEW MANAGER"

I AM SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEO, BUT MY WEBCAM IS ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH.

But at least our supporters and the club backed him for the good part of the season. Any other club would of sacked him three months ago.

 

I reckon the 'clause in his contract' rumour is true. Funny that after two day after it's confirmed we will not be getting CL football, Moyes get's sacked. Coincidence? I think not.

Not surprised at all.

 

People thought thath United wouldn't be title contenders this year and wouldn't be quite as good in Moyes's first year in charge but it was much worse than alot of people thought. I'm tired of people comparing Moyes's first season to Fergie's as they where completley different circumstances. I've heard the phrase 'United isnt a sacking club' multiple times lately, in the past yes, but owners these days aren't excatly patient and they dont give managers time.

The United fans I know wanted Moyes out after the Liverpool game. You may of stood by him and a few other United fans but some United fans certainly didn't stick by him.

 

 

 

EDIT: I think the main question that all football fans are asking now is.....What will happen to the 'Chosen One' banner?

Aye but that game was what, March? I think the support for Moyes and the team was brilliant, he walked out against Villa a couple of weeks and got clapped.

 

Diego Simeone or Jurgen Klopp would be my dream picks.

Well Klopp has already ruled himself out of the job, so you wont be getting him.

Why would Simone give up his nice gig at Atletico? Just because you're United doesn't mean you can get everybody.

'Diego Simeone or Jurgen Klopp would be my dream picks.'

 

It's unlikely either of them would leave their current positions but I would like us to contact them and ask of their availability.

I heard big Ron Atkinson is free.

 

Go with a safe steady pair of hands that knows the job.

Hahaha :lol:

 

It's fun today but I have no doubt by tommorow I will be sick of hearing about the United managers position, as we all know it's going to be in the media for weeks to come with no real new news. Just SSN going over the same sh*t they have said over and over again.

I heard Paolo Di Canio is looking for work. Can't go wrong with a fascist.

That's just SSN in a nutshell but I still find myself watching it all the time.

Strange sense of relief in hearing Moyes is gone. I do think next season would have been better but I can understand the club not being able to afford another season out of CL is too big a risk. I guess Van Gaal is pretty much a certainty, I'd love Klopp but at least Van Gaal likes his attacking football and will make our press conferences nice and interesting again :p

I did see Howard Webb at 500/1 to get the job. Worth a pop.

I do feel sorry for Moyes, and it shows the impatience that teams and owners have towards those running the club; I think the face is Louis van Gaal to take over, especially as Hiddink is leaving Holland after the WC. He knows his football, plays good attacking football and knows his sh*t, so he'd be a great appointment. I think he'd fair better than Giggsy, even though Giggs has practically babysitted that club since the 90's.

 

Are there many fans of the Championship here? Any supporters of those teams?

Nah I don't think Webb wants the full time job, he's happy enough just being assistant.

02fishera supports Blackpool but only posts every once in a while. Other than that I dont think we have any that post on a regular basis.

I wonder if Mike Ashley will sack Alan Pardew at the end of the season. Probably not but I could see Moyes going there if he did.
