Redknapp and a load of others who think sacking a manager is not the United way are full of shit basically, when was there a time when Manchester United didn't hire & fire managers. All 5 managers hired between Busby & Ferguson were fired. We sacked managers then and we will sack managers now and in the future until we find a top class one that fits.

Thats a spot on post man..
 
I guess Moyes thinks the real United fans were the match going fans? This is why he should have been made aware that he wasn't wanted.

I think he's probably shocked that now he's been sacked no one's spoke out in his favour. Ignorance is bliss after all.
 
Don't get all the hate that United are getting for sacking Moyes. All the other clubs have been doing it without getting so much crap. Anyone with a bit of common sense should have seen that poor old Moyes was way over his head from the beginning. Everyone is coming out from under a rock to criticize United, knowing full well that they enjoyed the temporary demise of United. Hopefully, next season United will walk away with the league to prove how useless Moyes was.
 
Perhaps when he meant 'real' he meant the fans who decided to show support and not fly a stupid plane over the stadium. I'd imagine a lot of fans would rather we had a different manager but insisted on supporting the team regardless. It would have been a lot worse had the fans booed after every bad game.

Moyes was not the man and every little thing he did was scrutinized. We should just let him be.
 
Can we lock this thread and move on? This chapter of Manchester United finished a week ago. Onwards and upwards.

Interesting if not bitchy http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-I-got-real-fans-sorry-I-results-used-to.html

David Moyes sent out a text on Friday night to let Manchester United fans he appreciated their support in the tough times.

The Scottish boss, 51, was sacked by the club on Tuesday after some abject performances and results leaving them seventh in the Premier League.

And United fanzine founder Andy Mitten claims Moyes sent him a message, apologising for the lack of success

Watch the moment the 'Moyes Out' banner flew above Old Trafford


According to United We Stand, the text read: 'Andy. Would you please let it be known how much I appreciated the support I got from the real United fans. They were incredible. I am sorry I couldn't give them the results they are all used to. Thanks. D Moyes.'

Moyes also thanked the fans in a League Managers' Association statement, but made no mention of the players.

Many fans stuck by him during the tough times, especially when a negative banner was flown above Old Trafford against Aston Villa.

The 'real' supporters applauded their under-fire boss.

They have been sitting so deep all season though thats not even really surprising.

Looked like they had a bit more licence to get further up the pitch today.

I have hated him since September.




Here is what David Moyes's incompetence has cost United.


http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cost-david-moyes-time-manchester-united-manager-1446214

On Tuesday, 22 April, David Moyes' reign as manager of Machester United was officially brought to an abrupt end.

Moyes was in the United dugout for little over ten months. Just short of a year is a long time in business. Ten months in football is an eternity.

For all the talk around 'he wasn't given enough time', we have to remember that the Glazers, who own the club, aren't trying to run a football club, they're attempting to operate a business that churns out the dollars on a regular basis.

Although the clubs latest statement says that, for the quarter ending 31 December, the club revenue was up a strong 18.8%, up £42.3m (€51.4m, $71m), plenty of that money would have still been coming in from United's runaway title success the previous season.

Advertising, TV deals, sponsorship were all up – but the people who have invested would have been expecting to see their brands associated with the Red Devils in the Champions League.

With four games to go, the club is not only guaranteed to finish the campaign with its lowest ever points total in the Premier League era, but it will definitely miss out on the Champions League next season.

The statement released next year could be a very different, and uncomfortable, read for fans.

According to Deloitte, the club earned £29.5m from Europe's elite competition last year.

Failure to qualify for next season's competition is predicted to cost the club up to £50m, based on lost ticket sales and broadcast revenue. That was expected to account for almost 10% of next year's revenue, says Deloitte.

And, as mentioned previously, this season isn't over yet. For finishing in pole position in the 2012/13 campaign, United received a total of £61.4m.

As it stands, the club currently sits in seventh place. Last year that would have got them £55.4m in the bank.

You can see that it's starting to add up.

Under Moyes' stewardship, the club has made two marquee signings. Let's agree to use the term 'marquee' loosely though.

Marouane Fellaini cost the club a reported £27.5m which was greeted with plenty of disgruntlement from the United fan base.

Yes, you would argue that the club desperately needed to invest, but for almost £30m on a player who has flopped quite spectacularly, United could have bought two Daniel Sturridge's, one and a half Jesus Navas's, repurchased Carlos Tevez two and a bit times.

All of which have been a resounding success at their clubs since their transfers over the last year and a half.

And then came Juan Mata, billed as United's saviour when he was purchased in January for a club record fee of £37.1m from Chelsea.

Mata has been considered a dud too since his switch from the London club, but still commanding weekly wages of an alleged £130k a week.

Deloitte estimates that the United wage bill at the start of the 2012/13 season was a whopping £182m a year.

In its latest financial statement for the quarter ending 31 December, United's staff costs stood at £51.6 million, an increase of £7.4m, or 16.7%, up from the same point in 2012, 'primarily due to the impact of player acquisitions and renegotiated player contracts'.

Wayne Rooney's bumper deal of £300k a week will play a hefty role in the substantial increase as David Moyes did whatever he could to hold on to his star man in an attempt to appease the fans in some capacity.

However, with this comes the very strong possibility that when United endeavour to sign players of a similar calibre to Rooney, they will also be demanding astronomical wages. Has United bitten off its nose to spite its own face?

Moyes didn't get paid too badly either. An annual salary of £5.6m to be precise. The Telegraph reports that the Scotsman earned a total of £137,254 for every game he managed.

It apparently also cost the Manchester based club £7m in severance packages and compensation on top of that.

One positive that the board can take from sacking Moyes is that the value of shares soared on the New York Stock Exchange the day after he was axed.

Following the confirmation that Moyes had departed from Old Trafford, the club's shares jumped in value by over 6% to the highest they've been since May 2013 when legendary figure Sir Alex Ferguson was still at the helm.

Just two hours after Moyes' sacking, the club's price on the New York Stock Exchange had increased by $100m.

Only time will tell how much Moyes time at the club will cost United, but the immediate aftermath suggests that it's been a very costly error for the club, who appointed him under Ferguson's recommendation.

What made me laugh was Hansen straight after - "yeah but the back four is their biggest problem!"
 
CantonaGiggs1 said:
Yes it has.

Just a message from David Moyes to the "real" fans.

I laughed at this comment:

"Why David!? Why? Why are you so likeable and yet not have the man management skills for us? Why can't you make it easier for us to hate you?"

I don't understand how people found this man to be likable.

His smile and his eyes. He has the smile of a man who tries his hardest but deep inside he, and we all, know the truth. You gotta love a guy with that kind of smile.

Urgh, that phrase now fills me with despair. It was said in the announcement on the day of Fergie's retirement hinting at who the successor was going to be. That was the moment I knew it was Moyes.
