Looking at it logically, Moyes hasn't got a prayer of getting it right with a) the current playing squad, b) his useless bendy bum chum coaching staff and c) his own serious limitations as a manager, coach and tactician.

The only way out for the rags is for the Glazers to sanction a huge (by which I mean £150-200 million) spending spree on players. The only problems are that a) top players won't be attracted to the swamp to play for a clueless buffoon like Moyes and b) spending shitloads of money on a cash cow they rely on to bleed isn't in the Glazers' business model. They're not football people. They only care about money, not trophies. If they sack Moyes they'll presumably have to pay off whatever's left on his 6 year contract, pay big money for a top line replacement (plus new backroom staff) and sanction the funds for a major spend on the players on the new manager's shopping list. Again, this level of spend isn't in the Glazers' business model.

It all depends on whether the Glazers can keep getting away with sanctioning a relatively small (and wholly inadequate) transfer budget and still generate enough money to bleed out of the club. If things get a bit too problematical they could sell up and there'd be no shortage of oil billionaires who would snap the rags up just for the kudos. If that happens I'll await the rag hordes complaining of their club buying trophies, signing mercenary players and their owners baling out when they get bored.

In the meanwhile I'll continue to have a smug smile on my face whenever the rags' plight is mentioned.
 
They have entered a MU toboggan in next years winter olympics, They said they have never seen anything go downhill so fast lol

There comes at time when sticking your neck out on a particular subject goes from being foolhardy to a worthwhile risk. Anyone who feels that moment hasn't yet arrived is still too paralysed with fear about the last 30 years imo. Got to take a chance at being wrong at some point.

That time is now.

Known Rag Lee Mason replaces Foy as ref on Sunday. Wouldn't want them losing 3 in a row would we.....

Mason is a Bolton fan who has a huge dislike for both Manchester teams.

Yeah course he has. Must be a different Mason to the pig-faced plays-to-the-gallery incompetent bastard that nearly did himself a serious injury in his haste to award Tom Daley a penalty @ the swamp then.
 
So the long term view is:
If he did indeed hand in a transfer request he has now made himself unsaleable this window therefore robbing them of a asset they could cash in on.
It leaves them light up front, and if Chelsea were to come in for Rooney they couldn`t let him go.
If results don`t pick up Rooney will not enter contract negotiations and will run his contract down.
Sinking ships and vermin come to mind.............

Take a bow Mr Davies. The inmates at my coop have been well and truly counted and double checked recently.
The rvp news just means i'll have a bit more fun with my 1, 2, 3 etc etc.

he and his family are rags

do some research as to why he was replaced for two City games in the run in to our league title
 
The rags' shares are tumbling amid news that a hedge fund specialist is preparing to sell them short and the Glazers having already made a filing with the SEC to sell up to another $400 million worth of shares on Wall Street. The share price is now $16.06, 4.4% down today alone.
