Re: how did fergie do it?

Serious question this, he brought an average team through the last 5 seasons doing remarkably well, I just don t get it. Moyes takes over and I realize he is poor but he is severley lacking in all areas. His credentials look more foolish when you look at everton under martinez! And his achievements this season so far, with largely the same group of players.
for gods sake moyes is steering last years champions!

It cant be down to hairdryers etc, surely he really was a great tactician

This year at ot teams sense weakness and go for the kill, I d love to see home record stats at ot, this year as opposed to other years

Really enjoying their pain and slide towards mediocrity?

How did the pissed up one achieve so much ?

Ferguson won the league on more than on (but grudgingly admittedly not all) occasion by bullying and quite literally threatening officials, the FA and other teams - there are countless examples of this. They have not benn a good side for the last three years!

Not qualifying at all for European football would be brilliant

1/ Loss of revenue
2/ Probable sacking of Gollum and the financial compensation they would have to pay him and his staff
3/ Huge, huge investment required into playing staff with no guarantee that the new players would hit the round running (see Spurs and us under Hughes)
4/ Loss of a year's coefficient European points that would lead to them falling down the UEFA rankings and losing their CL top seed status

As for relegation from the Prem, even with a loss of revenue, with the resources they have they will always be a minimum top seven side
This season, Liverpool and Everton are having exceptional seasons, but this is without any European distraction

Fucking brilliant Moyes is fuming and hopefully his comments will earn him a well deserved ban hammer!.

He moans more than my wife (and not in a sexual way!).

This is a good point. I wonder if the FA will do to United the same as they do for all other clubs and call Moyes in to account for his comments. I think they just might......

Where is the good news story that always pops up on days like this?

Reus/Gundogan/Baines all on their way in January?
Giggs interview claiming United will be best team in the world within 2 years with young academy products?

The world waits.

5/ Don't forget Rooneys contract, when does it run out, I thought it was the end of this season... when he could go on a Bosman.
