I think that David Moyes should be forced to see out his contract. Talksport this morning have dropped the wee so it is just Davey now. Love the Glazers and Moyes hate united.

Have a look at the "moyes this,moyes that" thread on ragcafe.....they are flapping like fuck.

 

[BooksReject]

I'm just loving the direction this thread has taken! And what's this humility shite? I have taken their superiority bollox for 37 years now, and I'm going to fucking enjoy payback. If lean times come around to us again, it must surely be in at least another 35 years, and I'll be lucky if I'm still drawing breath then, so keep the comments coming Blues :)

(Although.....all these years as a city supporter, there is still something niggling in the back of my brain....)

Guardian's football board is very enjoyable at the moment

Found this example which you might like

Man United are fast approaching the situation whereby they are going to have to take an almighty roll of the dice regarding who is going to be managing them and what amount, if any, of funds are available to back him in the transfer market.

Moyes was handed one of the 4 biggest managers jobs in world football for no better reason than Ferguson having decided he was the man for the job, quite what Ferguson’s credentials are when it comes to recruiting personnel for senior management positions at any club remain a mystery. The fact remains, however, Moyes is at OT on a 6 year contract and would as such prove extremely expensive to remove so early in his tenure.

So, do they keep faith in him and back him to succeed with transfer funds based on nothing more than the wise man from Govan’s intuition… or do they remind themselves that he (Ferguson), for all his managerial brilliance, was also responsible for signing a fair whack of dross on the playing side, and may well have repeated the feat in his first attempt at recruiting the clubs most important employee?

If the Glazers do come to the conclusion that Moyes is out of his depth, then it gets complicated. Ferguson is not going to enjoy having his boy (and judgement) suffering the hugely embarrassing situation of being binned after a mere few months, which may well open up a split at boardroom level – never a good thing at any club.

The next problem is, of course ,money. Moyes, it has been reported, was brought to OT on a 6 year contract, coughing that up in severance pay would undoubtedly break a few Glazer hearts, but that is just the tip of the iceberg…

Should Moyes get the old tin tack then he, obviously, needs to be replaced – starting the whole circus afresh. The next man to come in is going to take a look at what is, in all honesty, a severely limited squad and declare that in order to compete with City, Chelsea and a resurgent Arsenal he needs to strengthen the team in every important area - at a cost of circa. £120 million. What happens then? Give this new, as yet unproven, manager the money he asks for and watch him then piss it up the wall a la Mancini, Dalglish or AVB? Or decide that he needs to first prove himself with a team that were after all League Champions only 12 months ago - leading to an inevitable further slide towards mediocrity?

Man United need to get this right or their official partners and Asian replica shirt buyers will follow market demands and start looking elsewhere -whist their direct league sporting rivals become Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle.

I’d love to be able to say that I sympathise with them for the situation they find themselves in - but I’d be lying through my feckin teeth

Loving the last two paragraphs especially.

From Rag Cafe, made me chuckle!

De Gea
Rafael--Smalling--Evans--Evra
Jones--Cleverley
Nani--Kagawa/Welbeck--Januzaj
Hernandez

Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Fellaini, Anderson, Young, Zaha, Welbeck

Looks a very poor team that. Like a team we would play if we're resting players.

 

[Deepest Blue]

The question is have they left themselves too much to do.

The answer is yes, if you're talking about the league. If they were twelve points behind Arsenal and in second, then maybe, but to expect Arsenal, City and Chelsea to all capitulate is asking way too much.

Perhaps the title is beyond them, but we are 6 points above them. They could beat Newcastle, and we could lose to Southampton and we still have to go there.

Marvin, we have a 6 point cushion (7 with goal diff which they won't make up) and we will improve our away form for the remainder of the season.

Silva, Kompany and Jovetic have hardly played and who knows whether we may get an opportunity to bring a top player in during January?

Very confident that we'll extend the gap by the end of the season.
