How much blame for United's current situation should lie with Ferguson? The quick turnaround on his retirement has basically set the club back. Do you not feel his retirement should have been announced a couple of seasons on advance so the board was adequately prepared.

You talk about LvG coming in and laying foundations but in all honesty this should have already been done by Ferguson, instead all he was laying was a turd without giving a courtesy flush. Meanwhile Moyes has been slopping out on shit cleaning duty for 10 months.

Nah. Surely they were ready for him to announce his retirement once he hit 60~

It's not like they expected him to keep coaching in his 80s

 

[LTWheels]

Awww, I will miss Moyses United.

 

[Jack cw]

I could see Moyes doing the Steve Mcclaren route -- going to a smaller club in Germany/Holland.

I guess Moyes is marked with fail now. Only thing I can see him is taking the Klinsmann route and become national coach for tier 3 countries.

 

[Wes]

Oh well. That's the story of the summer set up nicely. I feel sorry for Moyes as a person, it's all turned pretty nasty and his reputation has become utterly tarnished. He seems like a nice enough chap but he just hasn't done his job effectively, although he had such big shoes to fill.

Feel like United missed a trick last year now though when the list of available managers were much more talented than those available this summer.

How does this change Fergie's legacy? He made the choice and it was the wrong one. But on the other side, it shows how great his managerial ability was because the next guy couldn't come anywhere close to his success.

Good luck to you United fans. As a neutral, it's going to make next year even more interesting now. 7 in to 4 just doesn't go. Great stuff.

Following the departure of David Moyes as manager, Manchester United has announced that Ryan Giggs, the club’s most decorated player, will assume responsibility for the first team until a permanent appointment can be made.

The club will make no further comment on this process until it is concluded.

Ryan Giggs confirmed as interim manager - might now miss out on scoring in every Prem Lge season he played

Wenger has done nothing? Some people are utterly clueless. Must be talksport listeners.

Oh really? What has The Lord of Strasbourg done in the last 8yrs? He has deserved to be sacked for quite some time now.

 

[JonnyBrad]

Rodgers could very well be top by the start of the new season.

Pard's and Alladyce a high chance of going in the summer. Which would leave our God and saviour Brenton 2nd in the list.

Crazy.

Congratulations United fans. Your torment is over.

Moyes still had two transfer windows and £60m to do something and he blew it spectularly. Felliani and Mata on top of what United already had should be doing better than 7th.

This pretty much how I feel. I do think Utd's decision is justified as Moyes has made some genuinely bizarre decisions this year. I just hope he isn't turned into some joke "wolly with a brolly" character and he manages to rebuild his career.

Is it true? Has the reign of Moyeezus come to an end?

The elephant in the room is that Van Gaal has quite some reputation. There's a reason why not everyone is desperate to get him, just read up on what Bayern players and officials said about him.

Lumped hard on LVG.

Don't see many viable alternatives and by fuck does he want the job.

Ancelotti is getting the sack when Real loses to Bayern and finish 3rd in the league.

Finally.

 

[Jack cw]

They could say what they want, its his work that was the base for the success in the last years. Without him, players like Müller, Alaba and Badstuber would have never made it to the A squad and dont forget his master move with moving Schweinsteiger to CM and his layer of 4-3-3 that got perfected by Heynckes. Sure, he was an ass most of the time, but his knowledge and understading of football are simply incredible.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Moyes to Tottenham would be a good fit, more his level.

Ok, good point. Cant argue against that

 

[José Mourinho]

So I take it Fergie won't be getting a staring role in the unveiling of the new coach when appointed? "Let's get behind our new manager!"

Now Manchester United supporters know how Aston Villa felt when Sir Alex Ferguson recommended their manager... #avfc

Oooof.

Sorry Wes.

McLeish is the most useless fucking manager on the planet.

Should've set alarm bells ringing.

 

[Wilbur]

is this real life

 

[Wes]

Crystal Palace have been plunged into another ­potential spy storm, with evidence that Aston Villa’s team was known to them before the two sides met at Selhurst Park last weekend.

Villa chiefs were stunned to hear that a visitor to the Palace dressing room photographed an information sheet, showing the correct Villa line-up – which included four changes and a totally revamped playing ­formation – two-and-a-half hours before kick-off.

The sheets, positioned beneath the pegs of each Palace player, included detailed scouting reports on each Villa player, showing that the visitors would change from their usual 4-4-1-1 ­formation to a 3-5-2 system.

Naughty Pulis.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Feel pretty worried tbh.

Woodward is the man over-seeing this. Frightening,

No ides what happens from here...

The man was so out of touch with reality that he didn't even recognise that he lost the dressing room a long time ago.

 

[Fady K]

I like to look at Brendan Rodgers though, last year he had much of the same players and finished 7th, this year he will likely finish first by at least 3-6 points. What a turnaround. Based on this I feel like a season and a half is a good measuring stick.

Just been slashed from 13/8 to 5/4

Edit; and now he is even money.

 

[kharma45]

Daniel Taylor making me sad by reconfirming this

One of the first things he [Moyes] did was decide that Fellaini was better suited to MUFC than Thiago Alcantara

Feel pretty worried tbh.

I've faith in Wooders. Seem to buck up his ideas after the summer and did well with the Mata deal.

Di Marzio says we've contacted Mourinho.

Hahahahahaha Woowar is fucking mental.

 

[CecilRousso]

Naughty Pulis.

Funny thing is that we play exactly the same no matter what the opposition is (and we get the results). It doesn't matter if Cardiff or Villa changes 1-2 players in their starting eleven.

 

[Elchele]

Yes! I must admit, I have a rather good feeling for tomorrow!

Rafinha is starting as RB and Lahm as DM. Don't get your hopes up

 

[Blablurn]

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Only good thing Glazers have done till date.

Now can we also get rid of that fuck tard Woodward?

The biggest mistake was letting Phelan go. Get him back Giggsy!

Rodgers had positive sides to his first year though which Moyes didn't have. For example, Rodgers improved Liverpool's style of play from the get go. He instilled a possession based side (If I remember correctly), which was totally different from the boring football they had the previous year. It wasn't working out as planned and I think he tinkered with the system and had them playing more fast paced. The players look more comfortable with the ball now than ever before, but like I said, Rodgers also had to change his system from when he first arrived.

This led to Liverpool gaining an extra 24 goals from the 2012 Dalglish Liverpool.

The 2nd half of that season was an obvious improvement. Under Moyes, United actually regressed in the 2nd half of the season. I have no idea what our attacking philosophy is and there are rumors that Moyes doesn't work on attacking football that much in training. If you compare the 2013 Liverpool with the 2014 United, Liverpool have an extra 15 goals scored, although with 4 games left. Liverpool clearly scored at a better rate than current United despite United having more talented players.

 

[Gambit]

Rafinha is starting as RB and Lahm as DM. Don't get your hopes up

Lahm as single DM is the only way Pep's system works. Or used to, anyway. Having said that, Rafinha vs Ronaldo does not imbue me with confidence.

 

[Scum]

Good luck, Moyesey. Just don't turn up at Tottingham. Levy, pls.

Di Marzio says we've contacted Mourinho.
