Oh, I definitely agree that the anti-Moyes party definitely have a stronger case than the pro-Moyes party. No doubt 'bout that. I didn't realise the amount of self-doubt I put in my post with all the "think" and "hopefully" I added.
I don't think I can give you a reasonable answer for that. I know he's had 6/7 months to settle, but I just still think he should have more time. I also think that a part of my support of Moyes comes from my fact I do not think we'll sack him mid-season, so there is absolutely no point in going against him. As I said, I can most definitely understand why many people wouldn't do the same.
It's been a God-awful season for us, and I hope no one takes that in a bad way, but it's strangely interesting seeing us struggling. It kind of shows who's the glory-hunters and who's not - I've already met a couple of people who have brought up the "Eh, I can't be bothered with football anymore" and have literally ceased to support United now.
But anyway - why do I think he'll turn it around? I just think we've almost hit rock bottom now - I know it could be a HELL OF A LOT WORSE with us being in relegation or something,
but that's just boarder-line impossible to go from Champions to that in a season I really don't understand why we're performing badly, but I just think he should be given until end of the season.
I understand I still haven't answered your question - I guess that says that I'm technically supporting Moyes blindly. I think my head thinks he won't make it, but my heart wishes he'll turn it around because he seems like a good guy. He's clearly not a terrible manager - I just think he's
still finding it hard to fill the hot seat left by Fergie. This crossing business is just him being very anxious now. I think a loss against Arsenal will more or less secure us not finishing 4th. No more pressure will be on us, and if he's given until the end of the season at least, I think he'll just thrive when there's no pressure on him. Reckon he'll understand the team more. Whether the players' minds will still be focused with knowing there'll be no CL football next season is a different matter.
I'm happy I'm not in charge for having to make the decision to be honest.
