when will he get his picture in the paper?
Moyes to appoint Neville, Round and others

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Round up Neville, take him to the Woods, Steele his car keys and lighter so he can't Cooke or Rene away. It will be the most aMoyesing prank ever, unlike this post.
Dear Alex Ferguson,
Thanks for your interest in the role of Manchester United manager. Unfortunately you have not been considered for the position, because - fairly obviously - managing Aberdeen doesn't count.
Best regards,

Didn't read all the pages of the thread so don't mind me if i'm wrong but he needs a chance to do leave his mark. His staff at Everton haven't been living under a rock they are a team that did a great job at Everton so he has decided to bring them with him. He needs his own people not Fergie's people with him at the helm. Phil will be a decent assistant manager he understands the club and what we stand for and he also knows Moyes so he will be able to help him. Phil is familiar with the senior players who run the dressing room to an extent.
Hopefully Phil is as insightful and knowledgeable as Gary about football but I think he will do well. Moyes has always struck me someone who has wanted to play good football and with an interest in youth and i'm happy he's doing everything to make the players understand he is the manager now and Fergie is gone. They have to build new relationships and nobody will get by on past merit I personally look forward to the new era. I anticipate a settling in period but I feel he will do well.

I just don't think Phil is getting an Assistant Manager role. That seems unlikely. Coach, maybe. If he's bringing Round in, seems much more likely he would be the no. 2.
No. Just attending training sessions doesn't mean that you can take them, much in the same way that watching a top chef cook means that you are able to run the kitchen in a fine dining restaurant without any practice.
For the rest of your post, if you're referring to me based on this post;
...then you should know I stand by it. Of course now it has come to light that Moyes himself will be running the sessions and any other coaches will be assisting him so Phil's appointment makes sense.
Also, I have been one of those who has been heralding Moyes as SAF's successor since 2009 so I doubt greatly if I'm now looking for an excuse to put a Moyes Out shirt on.
Perhaps you should look a little deeper before attacking someones viewpoint. One top might be to actually see if that is a view that they hold.
I think this proves my point.
I'm coming around to the idea that she's a WUM.
To be fair, what Ferguson achieved at Aberdeen was way, way beyond what Moyes achieved at Everton. Still stupid to say what Moyes did doesn't count though...
Managers and coaches, just like players, just need a chance. Moyes and his team did terrific stuff with Everton, pretty much maximized what you'd expect (though I know some people would expect a League cup or an FA Cup). Whose to say they can't make the step up, easily even, with better players and better resources?
Fergie always talked about giving young players a stage, giving new players a better platform.

Next Moyesy will be firing the coach driver...where will it end?
Phil Neville is so highly regarded he has been invited to the England Under-21 coaching staff. We hardly knew how intelligent Gary was prior to taking over as Sky pundit, and now also coaching at national level.
I fear for the tea lady. I just hope Moyes doesnt bring in the tea lady from Everton. Her tea doesnt count.
I personally just think it's a sentimentality issue with fans.
Rene was hardly known before taking up duties at United, as were Steele. If anything Phelan must have been something special to have come up through the ranks and ended up being number 2 at a club of United's stature.

Yeah but lets be honest, has Phil Neville actually done anything in Football? Manchester United doesn't count.
He was a better cricketer as a youngster, and his twin sister plays basketball. Surely that should rule him out?
He's played over 500 games in the Premiership and over 50 times for England. Played under Sir Alex, Moyes, and under various managers for England.
Just like Guardiola before taking over Barcelona he lacks experience.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, not read the whole thread, but...
The Everton fan who sits next to me reckons Phizza has been deeply involved in all the coaching this season, sitting in on all coaching meetings, and taking training sessions etc.

Does that even count though?
Phizza is a horrible nickname. Phister would be my choice if I was unfortunate enough to be called Philip.
Aye, in my book that would stand for a lot. Doing your badges should also not be underestimated in terms of being able to run sessions. I have only the very basic badges for coaching kids, but the ideas you get and the guidelines for them is very important.
I think the key will be to keep it fun, interesting and difficult for the players at the same time.
Take a look on Steve Round's page on Twatter.
Lip?
We can call Phill Neville 'Phellan'.
Meh, at Everton though? Doesn't count imo.
Aye, sure as you said we all know that an Everton training session is pretty much running doggies and seeing who can control the ball on their chest the best.
Of course it is. They don't even know if Steele, Phelan or Rene left at their own accord or not.
Look. A goalkeeping coach for a professional goalkeeper already with 2 seasons under his belt at Manchester United's number 1 isn't going to be the one personally to improve the guy. He's there to keep him in shape. He's going to get tips now and again but he won't be mentored like he would if he were 14.
Rene is being thought of as some kind of training god. The club isn't going to collapse because he leaves. AC Milan routinely collapses but they have supposedly the best backroom staff in the world. If you ask me this paranoia is because of a praise from his fellow countrymen and coworker which is hardly a surprising praise.
These changes don't worry me one bit. Training sessions from club to club in the PL don't vary greatly. There's no one with some kind of secret training method that no one else knows about. Most of training is routine. How match preparations are dealt with is up to the manager.
Surely there'll be some official news soon on who's replacing Phelan, Steele and Zellweger? There's business to be done.
Rene! You stupid woman!
I will say this only once - you are all idiots.
with big boobies
To be fair Aberdeen important honours at both national and international level. Moyes won jack shit.
There's no question that Fergie's prervious record was more impressive than Moyes'. Hopefully this isn't the most important factor!
I agree. To be fair, Moyes has the same no nonsense character SAF had. I dare to say that we needed Moyes as SAF was mellowing a bit lately. In fact we've seen players overstaying a bit too much (Gaz and Scholes should have retired a year before) and I always struggled to understand how the feck people like Phelan and the former gaffer's brother ended up with such prestigious jobs in the first place
Hopefully Moyes will put the ranks back in place
It's like the CEO of Google retired, and they appointed a new one from Yahoo. Then the new guy fires some important staffs of Google and bring in his buddies from Yahoo. Of course there would be some concern among the Google employees and clients. They are lying if they say otherwise. It's just natural and common sense.
