Not sure what point you're trying to make here.
I'm just saying it as I saw it, being a regular reader of several United forums and social media in general. Quite a few posters were downright hostile towards Moyes, and seemed to take great pleasure in personalizing the criticism of him. Plenty said they would openly celebrate if he was sacked. But then once he'd gone, it was all 'Well I do feel a bit sorry for him actually, and the club have gone about this in the wrong way, and he's a decent guy . . . '.
I thought that kind of about turn - abusing him for 8 months solid, then all of a sudden acting contrite when the thing they wanted to happen did happen - was probably just the result of a guilty conscience. From the realisation that a man losing his job in such a fashion isn't actually all shits and giggles.
As for those of us who 'lost' the argument . . . I certainly don't feel i've 'lost' anything. My position was that Moyes had underperformed this season, could have no complaints if he was sacked, but that i'd give him a bit more time to try and turn things around (say, up until Christmas next season). The club have obviously decided that he isn't going to get that time, so fair enough, we move on.
But I don't think the position I had was a particularly indefensible one.
As for the hate campaign bit: there is blatantly a faction within the support who seem to always need a whipping boy. It used to be Carrick, then it was Cleverley, then it was Young. Darron Gibson was once
forced off Twitter, such was the abuse United fans gave him for having the temerity to be not-quite-Utd class.
Those people will have had their ire turned on Moyes lately - justifiably so, you might say, at least in some ways - but now he's gone, they almost certainly will start on someone else.
