Realistically we won't win the champions league, so ideally I'm happy for us to go for the domestic treble.

Community shield
League cup
Fourth place trophy.

The penny is just starting to drop!

According to Sky:

Manchester United manager David Moyes has been given assurances that significant funds are available to him for this month and the summer transfer windows, writes Sky Sports News' Chief News Reporter Bryan Swanson.

Even the rags I know (and I know some blinkered, bitter, delusional fuckers) are not falling for this anymore.
The machine will really start grinding through it's gears now. United plc don't give a flying fuck about the match going rags. Merchandise and sponsorship is all they care about. In the past, they could back up their marketing push by showing on field success. Sky would show them in glorious HD dry bumming the likes of palace, wba and hull as if it was some kind of stellar fixture. All the gullible sponges in the far east and the Indian sub continent could snuggle up underneath their manyoo quilt and watch the scum put on a show.
This season's fayre is a little different though. Getting up in the middle of the night to watch them get their pants pulled down at the swamp is going to become a bit tiresome. Most, if not all of these foreign rags, follow them so they can say, "I'm a winner. I follow a team of winners. That makes me a winner". Take that away from them and united plc are in trouble. The raw, naked and ruthless way they have marketed the club has led them to the American stock markets. Fine, if you're successful and are producing the goods on the pitch and winning trophies. Absolutely catastrophic, if what's being served up doesn't match up to the promises and hype. The last throw of the dice is to offer reassurances of "transition" and "look who we're trying to sign" or "huge war chest available". Eventually, even the thickest of the lobotomised rags will start to think, "I think I'm being had over".
Tick followed tock followed tick followed tock.

I agree that it is an obvious attempt to stop the financial rot. This is what happens when you take an organization and make it public without changing the way it is managed (ie, reorganize for shareholder-focused operations, which is entirely ROI driven). They could have perhaps given him time if it was still a fully private enterprise but with their market value falling--and being a 5th or worse finish away from collapse on that front--they may not be able to be patient.

I may be alone in being uncertain if Moyes would come good with a respectable squad for United's aspirations (not saying I believe it, just that I am not sure either way) but I can say with absolute certainty that the 100 million sponsorship deal they recently signed is both drastically over-valued (imagine the current reputations of the underwriters that green-lighted that investment) but may be the biggest they will ever see.

why hasn't Moyes been charged yet for his Spurs comments?

I've been wondering that too?

Does 'transition' mean that moment when the referees stop falling over backwards to help the rags win games? If so, I can see why it's being used.
