Doesn't Moyes have, like, a six year contract? Do you guys realize how much it would cost to sack him?

If he takes another job, doesn't it take that out of the equation? I'm sure he can find a job in 2 years.

130.000 pounds per week, only in england baby!!
5 mil a year is a pretty good chunk. He won't be getting fired this summer. Unless you fall into relegation territory, he isn't going anywhere. At the earliest I could see him getting fired in January.
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So he's actually on about £17 a week and petrol expenses

Who says we're buying a 28 year old?
Linked with Diego Costa 24, Cavani 26, and someone else I forget.
I hope Mou doesn't sell him, but I think at this point you'd realise that Mou rarely gets it wrong.
It's likely performance related too, I doubt we'd pay him that flat for someone of his calibre, although at Everton he got something like £3.3 p/a.

Falcao is too expensive, we won't buy him and he's probably crocked with his current injury. Monaco won't want to sell. If we got him cheap (not going to happen) then fair enough, but we won't.
And we'll have 3 strikers next season, Torres (most likely), Lukaku (hopefully) and someone else
It's just debt. The Glazers don't mind passing it on to the books.
This is funny...given his current level of performance.
Diego Costa is 25, but looks 30.

Are you reading the dailymal?
Think he will give Lukaku a try, he clearly has no confidence in Torres, Ba or Eto'o really... and Eto'o will be out of contract in the summer anyway. Good timing too with Drogba coming in as a coach in the summer.
He won't be getting fired (yet), but when the time comes I can't imagine money will be a factor at all.
£5m p/a isn't much, relatively speaking.

Can we have Ba back pls.
Money's really nothing to United, as much debt as they're in, income is about to skyrocket with new sponsorship deals and such in the next season or two.
Moyes won't be sacked, due to some silly ideal of how a "real club" treats their managers, loyalty and stubbornness.
I'm think end of December if things stay the same, he will 'resign'.

That depends... Will you also take Torres if Atl Madrid wont take him?

Would probably make that back by sacking Gollum, buying the right players and getting back in Champions League.
That's about right.
I think United made £28m for getting to the last 16 of last seasons CL.
Lool, fair enough!
I remember every Man U fan being happy about him when he left us. In fact, not many people liked my tones about him general. They said I was too damn bitchy about things. As much as I am thankful for whatever he have done, he had his moments of pure insanity and ignorance.
The Remix album by Atlas Genius is so fucking good its not even funny. Why it took me this long to listen to it is a mystery.
I bloody love Atlas Genius!
Sure, he can be our new Shola Ameobi.
40+ Million Shola Ameobi?
I've probably asked this before, forgive me if I have, but what were your complaints about him and are we seeing them now?

Meh, the idiotic part is questioning Eto'o age and the rest of the strikers ability. A bit of silly dumb banter is pretty standard, usually it doesn't end up on the front pages... But that bit was too dumb. It's not like Chelsea needs Torres to be even moodier, he might actually commit seppuku at this rate.
heh
You know I actually had a dream that Torres played for Newcastle. It was weird. lol
I am sure they balance each other out, so you are in the clear.
*strikes Linnett off in the book '' members with shitty taste''*
Oh, man, I could write and essay for you (and I actually wrote lengthy complaints in the past) but you have to forgive me as I am lazy at the moment, but I could have been called a prophet since those are some of the mistakes he was doing at Everton but on a bigger scale.
In short: He is a bloody great manager, but a bloody horrible coach. He could build a team, have great plan and some of his tactics ahead of time could work perfectly if done properly by the players. He is respected by many because he can be damn nice at dressing room, does not point fingers and can create a team atmosphere... if the condition are right. The thing is, they are rarely right. His management skills and direct problem solving are lacking. Can't read matches in field, have a terrible communication with team and have a bad man-management skills. He tries to be expansive but fail horribly. One of the most annoying thing about his tactics was he used players in wrong positions, and hence destroy their confidence which he further destroy them by not pick them at all. I could recite a whole loads of players that have some ''world-class'' in them and just flat out destroyed by Moyes because of his stubbornness. But again, you could look up all the strikers we had over the last 10 years and ask yourself why haven't they scoring goals in consitent level.
He have his favourites. Always picks them. Whether they are absolute baboons or gods who happen to play football, it doesn't matter. He will pick them week-in-week-out. Shitty players such as Yakubu, Saha, Cahil (later in his career), Heitenga, Phil fucking Neville, Osman, Hibbert amongst others will play every week. Why? Because Moyes likes them. No other reason needed. Mazing players like Rodwell, Duffy (to a certain point), Coleman, Billy, Oviedo, Stonrs, Rooney (that is right, him) amongst others would just rot on the bench. Only come as subs if needed. That is why youths have gone back on their development and others who had potential never reached them because of his myopic tactics.
His plans weren't so great. They were one dimensional. Hoofing the ball and play direct foot all. Sometime he played diffrently (mostly against Man City and Chelsea) but opponents would just come and beat us easily because they know our plan. Rodwell attacked with feriousity against Man United and we beat them 3-1? Back to the reserve. Coleman assisted two goals in his debut against Spurs and we came back from being 2-0 down to almost winning the game? He gets an earful and doesn't play for another 6 months. He was a dinosaur who posses as strong case of Cognitive dissonance and doesn't see that some of our ugly football doesn't even work on teams such as reading and Villa who happen to have a good counter attacking football.
damn, that was longer than I though it would be, and I'll stop there. He was simply a good PR manager who was frustrating but somehow got the media to adore him. I am happy he left us, albeit build us a with a good foundation, but could not take us to the next level.
World War 3 is about to begin. It's been good knowing you all, we had a good run.
Don't do it. We'll draw / lose.

Bloody hell, this Ukraine issue is escalating massively now the Russians have got troops over there illegally. Could easily spiral out of control that one, Russia with nukes, and the Ukrainians talking about building them to nuke the Russians.
Potential exodus of those leagues? :-/
Good luck to Sunderland later today, would be amazing if Gus and team could lift the trophy up. With Johnson looking proudly at his winners medal as he for some reason starts running into the crowd. Taking the medal off and swinging it wildly again and again at an old man shouting "CLEVERLEY!! YOU CUNT!!", oh... its Woy.
Probably end up with City scoring 6 though.
What's a good betting app (android) btw guys? I feel like I have too much money and need to throw it away somehow. My plan is to do the opposite bets to hiroshawn and retire.

Yes. I do this every day with Pardew.
No, I mean simultaneously.
That's what I meant.
Good. I feel normal again. Thanks!

With a club as big as Manchester United, you'll lose a lot if you don't get into CL. They can recover, but it's not as easy as you think.
I also don't hate Cleverley as much as Young. Cleverly is shit, but Young, well... seeing him play in person makes me wonder what the fuck is Moyes up to by playing him so much.

Lol there is absolutely no way any nuke would be used in this conflict. I have a friend from Ukraine who told me this has been brewing for years and that the majority of people in Crimea would rather belong to Russia than Ukraine anyway. Only way this could blow up was if Russia launched a full scale invasion of Eastern Ukraine which is incredibly unlikely
