It's now starting to become a very real prospect that before or as a resut of the Derby on 25th March, that united will be unable to mathematically catch us - before the clocks go forward - which is truly astonishing for the reigning Champions.
I reckon they are going to finish on mid-60's points. Maybe low 60's. That's going to be good for 6th or 7th.
That said, I can't see him lasting the season, I really can't. It's obvious that sticking with him would mean the Glazers would have to give him another £100m in the summer, knowing in their hearts that it will likely fail. Then they will have to sack him and get another manager in mid season 2014/15, and give THEM a war chest as well, or they won't be able to attract a top manager. Plus they won't have any CL to attract top players. Are these hard-nosed business men happy to throw £180m down the toilet?
So I cannot see this happening. They will IMHO force Moyes out either right at the start of the summer window, or nowish. I really don't know how it will pan out, but if he resigns next week, I wouldn't be remotely surprised. Any more awful gaffs - like losing at home to Fulham next, for example, and he is a gonner.
