No disrespect to Moyes but I'm not having that.
You're not having it? 
Fuk right off 
Where did you hear that mate?
I literally have nothing to say.
Im shocked to my core.

feck we'll miss him, his rants, his winning mentality, his hairdryer, his charisma....
You may be laughing now but we will see who is laughing last after Armchair leaves a furious message on United's voice-mail.You're not having it?
As a tribute to Fergie I'm going strap on my watch and tap it vigorously whilst making an annoyed face each time something is late. In fact I've decided to use public transport today. Those bus drivers won't know what's hit them.
I'll do it now and all after I press the quick reply button.

Cannot compute at all. Speechless
No I'm not. I'll be very underwhelmed although I'm sure I'd cope and to be fair we haven't played brilliant stuff recently so I can't whine about Moyes' style of play.You're not having it?
This is the Internet. Surely we can group together and create a campaign to ensure David fecking Moyes doesn't takeover from the greatest manager in football history.
I said don't rule it out, there were so many hints. His legacy is going to be unsurpassed, and he deserves to tell us he's finished. I can't imagine life after him, but shit just got real. My days of being spoilt with success may grind to a halt.

This is what happens when you go to sleep.feck.. Alright - a huge part of why I love this club just died.
I'll be reeling for days on this one.
Cant thank the man enough for what he has given the club. Absolute legend of the game and will be remembered long after we're all dead.

You can feck off. Have some class.
Grow up.
I really wasn't expecting that.
It's all starting to make sense now.
The SAF stand and the statue, in hindsight, were the writing on the wall.
I'm happy for him too, leaving when he's on top and will be able to spend his remaining years in watching the horses, drinking wine and spending time with his family.
God knows the sacrifices he's made to the club over the years.

Whomever is taking over will be Fergies choice.
I rather think his judgment on it is a little better informed than yours.
I think it needs to be maureen short term because I cant think anyone else could truly handle the pressure, its the one after maureen thats the really important one, but if Fergie chooses Moyes, I dont think Im qualified to argue.
I actually think it's the opposite.
1. When was the last time we dominated the league with such a young team? Yes, our central midfield isn't great, but our squad is probably the best it has been for many years. Anyway, it isn't like there won't be cash to strengthen a bit.
2. SAF always liked a good WUM when it came to transfers. Also, his comments were the opposite of what was said to the shareholders, weren't they?
Looking at it from a different perspective, I wouldn't be surprised if we're already looking at players. A big player may really be on the cards to keep investors and fans thinking that United are bigger than SAF.
3. To be fair, it has been a long time since SAF was so over the top after losing a tie. I mean, Phelan said he wasn't in the right state to talk to the media? Quite clear with hindsight that he really wanted to win the tie at all costs.
Something is off here .This should be announced only after the celebrations and parade , also with the replacement secured and announced at the same time .
somewhere the information leaked and forced the clubs hand to dismiss further speculation.

Fergie 13

Amazing really, didn't see it coming. Credit to him though calling time on his career now. He really has nothing else to accomplish. He's won 13 Premier league titles, 5 FA Cups and 2 European Cups. He's seen off the dominance of Liverpool, seen of the challenge of Arsenal and conquered Roman's Chelsea. Finally he put Manchester City back in their place this season. He's left the club in a very strong position and with the right man in charge the club will continue to be strong.
Thank-you Sir Alex for all you've done!

Have one fecking meeting and come out of it to this, it's mental, obviously as a director he'll still be itching to have input into the first team still, wouldn't like to be the next manager.
Hey check this out, I just came from McDonalds right? And this is all over the news?
On a more serious note, this is weird, I did not see this coming at all. On the positive side he's leaving with our monumental 20th PL title, just too bad that crazy ref torpedoed his chance of a third CL title. Thanks for everything Sir, undoubtly the biggest legen in Manchester United's history, and that says a lot.

In honour of Fergie retiring all premier league games will play two minutes extra this weekend!
heard the announcement on the radio. I nearly drove into the back of a bus. I though this was just some wind up last night. Don't even want to think about next managers. Couldn't care less at the moment.
And now United text me about entry to the u21s game against Liverpool..
Adzzz, it was only just this morning they had to remove similar suggestions of Mourinho being "poised" to take over from Benitez. Why do people take Sky Sources as credible? They were pretty late to the retirement story in the first place so there's no reason to believe they're any more clued up than the rest. They're just making an educated guess based on betting and creating a bit of controversy in the process. No point paying attention to that.
I think Moyes is far more likely than Mourino but I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be neither of them.
All these apparent quotes from the club being revealed by Sky point to David Moyes.
Casts a new light on that 10 minute period after the Nani sending off against Madrid. It seemed at the time like the reaction of someone who had rolled the dice for the last time and lost. Seems that is exactly what it was.
Well this is pretty shocking, even all the speculation going around last night I assumed was bullshit.
I can't think of a harder act to follow.

Lets be honest, no one was ever going to be good enough to replace fergie. Lets all get behind the new boss and back him in the same way the board backed fergie, this is a new and exciting chapter in the history of a fantastic club.
I feel physically sick.
This day was always going to come, but it is still a shock.
What a summer we're in for now!

They're almost verging on assuming Moyes is taking over.
To be honest, all the noise suggests its Moyes "cut from the same cloth as Busby and SAF" etc.
I'm sick and scared.
No. Still no words
He told the players at the golf yesterday, I believe. It was supposed to be announced until the end of the week. Makes sense to announce it before the celebrations/parade so everyone gets the chance to soak it in knowing it's his last.
