I know. As a City fan I was constantly told about this "United way". A way of doing things.
So... Tell us more about that.
The players look gutted.
players look so happy
End of an error.

Worst season in nearly three decades. You sacked your manager for coming second.

Sacking a manager for taking the champions to 7th is comparable to sacking coaches that have won them trophies and finished 2nd?
I'm Chelsea myself, so it's exactly the same feeling.
Yeah sorry. Chelsea are still a morally questionable absurdity, and us dispensing with the "services" of a goggling inadequate doesn't change that.
The objective was qualification from the CL group stage and a trophy. We achieved neither.
I still think it was harsh but we failed on both counts.
At least you took away the record for the worst title defence in the PL era. Thank you Moyes. Thank you.

But Moyes did win United a trophy
And winning them the premier league and FA cup in the 2 seasons prior to second.
And they let the rumours, media, rumble about his dismissal for months leading up to it without supporting or backing him. Man City are a shit club.

Mancini was a toxic bellend as well, unfit to manage a team with aspirations of becoming the best team in the world. And in those circumstances, upgrades trump stability

Moyes is sacked, Hunter X Hunter is coming back in a month or so.
After the last torrid 3 months, today is the best day of 2014. OH GOD YESSSSS.

Every manager we've sacked has had similar justification, except for Jose.

just a bunch of mates.
Aye. This is true. Certain City players look a different player under Pellegrini. Nasri and Garcia for example, who I think played very well last night.

I wonder where this will end up?

they'll just swap Van Gaal's head in place of Moyes.
This a joke? Ancelotti? Di Matteo?

Barcelona's decline started when Pep started taking control of transfers

Di Matteo crashed us out the CL at the group stages as Champions and risked out qualification for next season (even though I was upset about his sacking at the time, in hindsight it makes sense).
Ancelotti sucked in Europe.

Hopefully shoved down Tufty's cunt throat.
I doubt it. The United golden age is over, the fergie shadow gone. United are just another big club now. No one has reason to fear them and most wont.
LVG made that Bayern team and then almost destroyed it right out of the CL places leading him to getting the sack. Even if they get him, PL much harder to get things done then the monopoly Bayern had over the Bundesliga.
You were second in the league upon Di Matteo's dismissal if I recall and it was AVB that cost your league position the season before not Di Matteo. His dismissal was pathetic after winning you the CL.
Ancelotti won you the double the season prior and that's his thanks. Yeah totally justified,

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Pack up your fucking set-piece manuals chaps!!!!!!!!!!!
Bayerns so called monopoly wasn't as big as it is nowadays. Our team was crap.

I have a feeling Madrid will beat us big time tmw. To win the CL you need a lot of ambition. Just like we had it last year after Chelsea beat us. I think the ambition of La Decima is bigger than ever for Real. They will beat us
If you are home in the 2nd leg, you will win.
I just realised that if United finish 7th that'll be lower than Chelsea ever did from 97-03.

Fuck off Round is gone!
It's good that Woods has remained. He's done well with de Gea.
I don't think it's as simple as getting a good coach and then challenging for the title again next year. There's a massive amount of work to be in rebuilding and restructuring the team from a position of relative weakness. If they've got any sense, Man Utd would spend this reported £200m over two or three seasons rather than spunking it all this year and trying to balance 8 or 9 new signings in to the team.

They have a better chance than they've had for a long time if Pep doesn't let you play more expansively
1) You put fuck all genuine sustained pressure on Man Utd's defense in either tie until the equaliser in the second leg. Doing the same against Madrid would result in a pointlessly wilful lack of exploiting their weaknesses
2) You were massively open to the easy counter, even though you had enough players staying far enough back to deal with it much better than you actually did. Ronaldo, Bale and Di Maria will not let you off the way Welbeck and Rooney did.
Drop the slow, counterproductive version of tiki-taka you played last round, and you'll win.
Phil Neville dodged the bullet, I see.
Yep! It's time to go back to Heynckes tactics. You can't play with two defenders aganst BBC lol
