Bring on the Moyes dynasty.
That just sounds ridiculous.Bring on the Moyes dynasty.
Match goers are far more classier.Oh man, the stick he will get if we get off to a bad start to the season.
This, in a nutshell.Here we go... if you disagree with the appointment you're a glory supporter. Some right cockheads on here at the moment. It's called having an opinion.
And this is a point I made loads already today.Oh man, the stick he will get if we get off to a bad start to the season.

Take a chill pill, not going to trawl throuh all the posts.feck sake, if you're going to comment on a post read the train of posts it refers to. The discussion was about European experience.
That's all well and good but this is Manchester United we're talking about here. I'm not disputing the fact that David Moyes has done well at Everton, I'm questioning the logic that sees that as being worthy of a chance to manage this club. Nothing in his club career suggests that to be the case.Football has moved on from when Fergie first came. The focus on league position is so strong and the competition is so fierce. Moyes has constantly achieved greater in terms of league position than his resources would suggest he should.
They have to be worthy of that time, as Liverpools continued decline has shown us.I don't see why he couldn't come in and carry on what we've got but either way, not everything has to be immediate success, over the years from players to Fergie himself, as a club we've shown if you afford someone some time they can reward you significantly.
Most of the ones on Sky Sports wished him well and understood why he was going. They admitted he had no funding.Most Everton fans seem to like United and wish him well.
One post for example:
"I hate the money bags Chelsea's and Man City's, but I have a begrudging respect for Man Utd. I think Moyes will do really well there and can't really blame him for taking what is one of the biggest jobs in world football. I wish him well."
Who would you prefer of Harry and Moyes?
Good, will be even better when we carry on winning. Don't know what City fans would be happy about either, may aswell kiss goodbye to the Manchester DerbyHow about this then: the scousers will be buzzing now that their much anticipated dream of Ferguson retiring has become reality earlier than expected and they must feel giddy about what they must perceive as the first step of a long 'transition' period.... City fans and other rivals will feel delighted about us appointing a nothing manager. The step down is huge.
Too true. We can all agree that SAF is a completely unique phenomenon in the world of sport. What are the chances of appointing another Scottish manager, relatively young, ambitious and loyal will result in better than say, appointing someone who is equally hungry (or more) and has won the Champions League on more than one occasion and has proven nothing fazes him?Here we go... if you disagree with the appointment you're a glory supporter. Some right cockheads on here at the moment. It's called having an opinion.
Neither ,i would want Jose and Giggs..Who would you prefer of Harry and Moyes?
Simply thisI will get behind whoever the new man is, and I think the majority will do the same.
No he hasn't. His name was only bandied about for the top jobs this season (Chelsea job in particular). In fact, I believe his name was only ever mentioned in relation to the United job out of pure politeness. After all, if somebody had said that the next United manager after Fergie would be someone with no European experience or who had never won a major honour as manager, you'd laugh your fecking head off!He's been a favourite for the job for years, so I don't see why you are so shocked. It's not as if he has come from nowhere as a contender.
As I will, but I would have just preferred if we were a little braver in our ambition. After all, I doubt a United fan alive wishes him to be a failure. Good luck to him if he does get the gig.I will get behind whoever the new man is, and I think the majority will do the same.
Mourinho would be by far the safer appointment.Incredibly safe decision and very uninspiring on the whole.
I refuse to believe it until there are official pics with Moyes signing. After that I'd refuse to believe it again.
What do you mean like holding the joint record with fergie himself for being voted LMA manager of the season? If his peers rate the job he's doing so highly than I think he must be doing something right. If that isn't worth of a chance then I don't know what is. Like I said winning the odd cup doesn't mean anything, everyone knows performing for a whole season in a league is the toughest test and that's what he's done.That's all well and good but this is Manchester United we're talking about here.

I think he seems like a nice guy and respect the fact that he's done okay at Everton but, and I'm just being honest here, I don't think he's anywhere near up to the job. If we appoint him as manager I hope I'm horribly wrong but I don't believe that I will be. I just don't think he has it in him. I'm actually shocked that he's even being considered if I'm honest. It's like some strange footballing twilight zone in my opinion.
Yes he has. He's been linked with United for at least three seasons. You can assume that it was merely 'politeness', but thats a genuinely mental view. He was linked based on merit and if he gets the job it's because the board think he deserves it.No he hasn't. His name was only bandied about for the top jobs this season (Chelsea job in particular). In fact, I believe his name was only ever mentioned in relation to the United job out of pure politeness.

I'd beg to differ, mate. Mourinho would have been a far bolder appointment as he would have been a challenge for the board themselves. Moyes will be like a starstruck teenager for the few season or two and will not rock the boat at all. In fact, so determined will he be not to lose games and be seen as weak, I envisage us playing very safe football next season.Mourinho would be by far the safer appointment.
They are taking a much bigger risk giving it to someone unproven at the highest level.
Moyes + Phelan. Dear god that is uninspiring.
Yes. What's left for him to prove in the game? Staying somewhere for long enough to build team after team - and he'd probably relish the chance to compete with SAF's record.For those wanting Mourinho, do you really believe he would stay for more than 2-3 years?
Where do you think he'll go if he does come?For those wanting Mourinho, do you really believe he would stay for more than 2-3 years?
So Moyes isn't going to challenge and try and change a perfectly functioning club...and this is bad?I'd beg to differ, mate. Mourinho would have been a far bolder appointment as he would have been a challenge for the board themselves.

I hope I'm wrong, mind.
