pinkpanther99 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Not that much of a surprise really, not when you consider that most Premier League managers are lucky to last 10 months, and of course given Utd's dreadful form this season. More surprising was the way the rumors about Moyes' sacking were leaking out of the club last night. That certainly wouldn't have happened when Ferguson was in charge. Louis Van Gaal will take over there, you watch Edited April 22, 2014 by pinkpanther99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUEManchester United sack manager MoyesManchester United announced Tuesday that David Moyes has left the club after less than one season in charge.In a statement on their website, United said they: "would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role".Reports in almost all of the UK newspapers on Tuesday morning had said the Scot would be sacked, after failing to secure a place in next season’s Champions League. United are seventh in the Premier League and on course for their worst finish since 1990-1991.Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal is the bookmakers’ favourite to take the job at the end of the season. Newspapers reported that United midfielder Ryan Giggs could take charge of the team until the end of the season.Former Everton manager Moyes had been hand-picked by his predecessor, Sir Alex Ferguson as the man to maintain United’s place at the top of the game.But from being champions last May, they have struggled throughout and defeat by Everton on Sunday was the last straw. Moyes was also criticised for his lack of action in the transfer market. -- The Nation 2014-04-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I Don't know why they're messing about with Giggs/Neville. Surely it would be best to get in a new man ASAP so he can get a feel for the job and see what needs doing over the Summer so we are avoiding the fiascos of last Summer.

Given that there was only one manager between 1986 and Moyes' appointment this is hardly a World shattering comment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So Matt Busby recently retired, United have just sacked his replacement Wilf McGuinness, so it’s Crystal Ball time again… I see Matt Busby returning followed by 2 strangers, a trip over a precipice, then another stranger until a messiah arrives in 16 years time from now… Sorry!

As a Chelsea fan I'm well in favor of reinstating Moyes - he was great. The one thing I like to see (apart from Chelsea winning) is to see Man U do really badly. Thanks Moyes for a great season!!

How would you know he was doing a sterling job with FIFA refs and corrupt goalies winning and losing the games on script? Soccer has never been much of a game for men anyway, unless of course you find it interesting to watch paint dry.

Popular Post Bredbury Blue Posted April 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2014 Putting my comments above to one side, can I just say that even though I’m a City fan, that personally I like David Moyes as a human being (he looks like a decent bloke) and as manager. I think a year ago, that everybody with an interest in football, would have agreed that based on his 11 years at Everton, that he was a good football manager, and he most likely still is. He’s probably made some poor choices this season (which manager doesn't), but I think the Utd players need to take a lot of the blame and also Fergie for leaving the cupboard a bit empty when he left. I would have loved to have asked Moyes after the Everton game the other night, whether [say was possible], he’d prefer to keep that Utd squad he’d inherited or swap them job lot for that Everton squad. Now that would have been an interesting answer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) If Malky Makay is jobless he'd be worth looking at (young & Scottish). Failing that how about the boy Clough? It wouldn't suprize me if Mourinho took the job at the end of this season & gave Fergie a run for his money.

Surely it would be best to get in a new man ASAP so he can get a feel for the job and see what needs doing over the Summer so we are avoiding the fiascos of last Summer. Because it's important to raise the morale of the fans and keep the money they bring coming in. In turn Happy fans will ease the pressure on the new manager when he arrives.
