Big rumours that David Moyes is on his way out. We've suspended betting on the next Premier League manager to get the sack!

I've been saying this for months in this very thread but it has mostly been passed off as too extreme a view.

Nope not entirely true. We all know the squad needs renovation.

Cleverly and Valencia are so poor yet they keep getting selected, before we replace those 5 guys we need to acquire a competent manager.

And the alternatives are. . .

As I've said multiple times, Moyes saw the weakness in the middle. He tried to address it but Ed Woodward happened, so they hit the ''OH SCHIT!'' button and overpaid for Fellaini at the last minute. Must be noted that not even Fergie managed to sufficiently reinforce the middle post Keane-Scholes, coming closest with the Carrick-healthy Fletcher combo 3-odd seasons ago.

You were one of them that told me not to throw players that have served the club well under the bus. :erm:

Just read on SkySports how RvP said he couldn't play last night because his team mates were always in his positions.

He doesn't seem to be too happy since Fergie left. Looking to move, perhaps? (P.S: we don't want him back)

Kagawa, Januzaj, Fellaini. You think Moyes team selection was right last night?

Nope, my argument was that the manager should be getting more out of these players and that im wary of ripping up a team when the manager isnt properly performing. Im happy to replace players that arent performing when the manager shows us he knows what hes doing.

I think Carrick also made a comment about not being able to back the manager...
will try and find it..

He can take a hike. This squad needs a chainsaw to rip through it.

I'd only take one manager after Moyes; Jurgen Klopp.

He has what Fergie saw in Moyes; the ability to build a team using youth and little money.

Looks like this may be more of a reality in the new season. It's extremely doubtful that Moyes can turn our EPL campaign around and United are already apparently looking for a replacement. Some new players in the next transfer window (Reus and Kroos?) would be a welcome addition.

Do you honestly think Kroos and Reus will join Utd? Not a chance, especially with no CL.

Kroos is apparently not happy with his salary at Bayern, and the fact that Rooney just renewed his contract may sway him...

One can only hope at this stage.
 
The UCL will make a big difference if utd will get world class players to join them. i doubt they will get UCL and they will have to see what scraps is available. There is so much negativity in the man u camp that players don't want to down a club that is on the downward spiral, no UCL, not much class players, average manager and losing.

The opposite effect will happen at LFC.

Nah... we'll take him back. Bendtner will probably (read: finally!) leave at the end of the season which means Sanogo is going need some backup :twisted:

It is still Manchester United Football Club. One bad seasons does not erase two decades of dominance.

The negativity is countered by players like Rafael, Mata & Zanuzaj, youngsters that look like they want to play. That is why I am okay with the old guard being cleared out. Young, ambitious players need to come in.

yeah, and we are still LIVERPOOL FC. one season can make it or break it, just or all lfc supporters. so much things can go wrong. i understand the man utd brand is still good, but it can quickly change if a few things can go wrong. the longer Moyes stays, the more damage he can do to utd's image.
 
Glazers will also be keeping their eyes on the stock price.

They're in this purely for money and if Moyes is affecting their business too greatly, I don't see him staying.

Good points, Pool was on top of there game pre-1990, Daglish left and that grey haired guy took over and look what happened from there.

I am sure 1 season won't break Utd, contracts are signed wrt to sponsorships and things. So the money will still be there. But support starts to dwindle the more the team loses. Not sure what the numbers are, but apparently it's a moerse lot when a team does not make CL

Missing out on the CL is a big financial problem over the longer term. One season won't be too bad. Anything more than that and you approach Liverpool levels struggle.
