He believes that the GPC told the board and is still telling the board that there would be a transitional period but if they stick by Moyes like they stuck by him everything would be back to the glory days. Mention was then made about how it took GPC 3 years and it might take that again.
The problem with that theory is that when the GPC took over there was not the same amount of money swilling around, whether it is sponsorship, champs league or even megastore money. Now just one season without Europe could ruin them. 3 years could destroy them. No decent player is going to come without Champs league football which prolongs the financial problems. No player is going to come with Moyes in charge, (totally unproven at a high level,) and as the money dries up and the Glazers known reluctance to spend continues there is not much light at the end of the tunnel. If he fails this year to get fourth they have major problems.
Sorry I have to stop typing now as I am laughing so much.

One thought/question? if we see them miss out on CL and continue to struggle will that ultimately force the Glazers to look to offload their cash cow? The club is obviously not worth what it was once quoted so does that mean its not worth selling for a long while.

I'm sure this is a major factor. The hierarchy made a big mistake allowing it because Gollum and his own chosen ones aren't good enough to justify a clean sweep. Injuries to RVP and now Rooney haven't helped.
In reality he's a reasonable quality manager - not top drawer but better than the current fiasco suggests. You know what it's like sometimes: when things go wrong, everything goes wrong. They have lost any remaining aura of invincibility and other clubs are capitalising. The situation will probably stabilise before too long but they are rightly readjusting their expectations and know it will be a battle royal for 4th spot.
Yep thought it was ridiculous for the owners to allow him to bring in his own back room staff so soon. In business should you lose your most successful manager you don't let the new one sack all the management team and bring in his guys who have only ran a mediocre company for the last 10 years
