Well he said a few days ago that he's staying so either this reporter has been told some new news or he's totally retarded, he cant be dumb enough to say he's leaving only 2 days after he said publicly he's here to stay.

Yeah. Expecting something soon. Club are on the stock exchange so all this uncertainty isn't good for shareholders.

Surely it's not him retiring. Maybe announcing when he will retire? But then again not sure if he'd want to go that route again.

The big news is Ronnie's coming back.
I remember an interview he did about his 'first' retirement, saying that the form of the team really suffered because of the added weight of knowing that it would be Sir Alex' last season. He said he would never go through that process again

This news combined with the Moyes news is like a strategically placed kick to each nad. :( I'm blissfully going to pretend is April 1st.

He's staying does not mean he's remaining as manager.

If there is any news tonight then it will be a denial. No point rushing to confirm it- they can do that tomorrow.

Jose as assistant for a year to take over at the beginning of the 2014/15 season.

Please no Moyes.

I'll check in with my moles shortly to see what's really going on, but it's pretty late in the evening in the UK right so I can't guarantee anything.
Excellent. I was hoping someone would volunteer some fake, ITK bullshit.

Nothing lasts forever but SAF at United is all I've ever known.

Moving aside perhaps to ensure that Mourinho can come in before he's snatched up by Chelsea long term?

Almost certainly just going to be bullshit though.

All the Moyes bashers are a bit retarded, truth be told.

Think on it for a moment: if it happens, Fergie will have had a big influence in Moyes taking over. If it's good enough for him, it should be good enough for all of us.

There's more to football management, and managing United, than just being flavour of the month.

I'd personally be happy with Moyes. But if the initial reaction is anything to go by, Moyes would be screwed if these rumours are true!

Ferge loves to keep us all guessing.

"there is no way Scholes is coming out of retirement"

For some light hearted comedy, last time we knocked the The winner of Uefad 2nd Cup. Benitez anyone?

Posted this in twitter thread:

The thing is that there's been no denial from the club according to the Mail article and Telegraph article. This rumor could/would have some negative effect on Club's shares, so wouldn't it make sense to stop them with a denial?

Share price is up tonight.

Either the rumours, are just that, or investors believe a new man will do better. :devil:

This day was always coming (If of course rumours are true) and tbh it shouldn’t be a shock to any of us. I of course hope it’s bull, but if this turns out to be true, then I wish the man all the best for the future and thank him for so many wonderful years he has given us.

Moyes is a very good manager, why are folk so down on him? Sure he looks like Ground keeper Willy but is that enough of a reason to dislike?
