Nope. People are enjoying UNited becoming without Moyes. I don't give a shit if Moyes gets now Madrid or Bristol City, I don't like and neither care about him. He has brought us only bad moments and considering that the majority of people here are United, not Moyes fans, they have every right to be excited that there is still some light in the end of the tunnel for the club they love.

You think so? So why are people getting personal - calling him all sort of names. If you really don t care about him you wouldn t bother offend him.

Do you really think the next person in charge will not have to work in Fergie's shadow?

"Oh, Moyes dragged us down to 7th. Anything above that and you'll be grand"

You ungrateful sacks of shit. You were supposed to be the institution where loyalty mattered. You were supposed to be different. He hasn't even had time to build his own team, ffs.

A dark day for football.

Is there a presser today?

Considering the fact that so many media outlets are reporting this at the same time, you'd have to think that a briefing took place. The wheels are turning so fast now that United will be forced to react sooner rather than later. There's no presser scheduled, but the club could arrange one fairly quickly given that the entire press is already at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are preparing to sack David Moyes. The Glazer family have been horrified by the extent of United’s dramatic decline and are ready to cut their losses less than ten months after Moyes replaced Sir Alex Ferguson as manager.

With Moyes having lost the backing of large numbers of his squad and United preparing to spend up to £200 million this summer, the Glazers believe that their and the club’s interests will be best served by a change.

Moyes’s disastrous reign hit a low yesterday when United lost 2-0 away to Everton, his former club, in the Barclays Premier League champions’ eleventh defeat in 22 matches since the turn of the year.

Seventh in the table - 23 points adrift of Liverpool, the league leaders - United will be without Champions League football next season for the first time in 18 years and could even face the humiliation of failing to qualify for the Europa League after the worst defence of an English top flight title since Blackburn Rovers in 1995-96.

If Moyes departs this week, Ryan Giggs, the player-coach, would probably be installed on an interim basis for the club’s final four matches of the season, although it is unclear if the Welshman would be in the running to get the job permanently.

Louis van Gaal, the Holland and former Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Ajax coach, has been linked with the post.

Jurgen Klopp is also likely to be a contender, even if Barcelona may turn to the Borussia Dortmund coach as a potential replacement for Gerardo Martino, who is expected to be sacked at the end of the season.

Laurent Blanc, the former France coach and United defender who is in charge of Paris Saint-Germain, may have his admirers and Diego Simeone’s star has risen sharply during his 2½ years as Atletico Madrid coach.

The Spanish club lead La Liga by four points with four matches of the season remaining and face Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tomorrow.

Moyes’s failure is a huge embarrassment for Ferguson, who was allowed to pick his fellow Scot as his replacement. Ferguson had been a regular presence in the directors’ box this season but has been less seen in recent weeks.

Moyes - who will be 51 on Friday - was handed a six-year contract in the belief that he could build on Ferguson’s legacy but his debut campaign has lurched from one crisis to another and left the Glazers in a state of shock.

United have managed just one win against the league’s present top six and taken only ten points from a possible 45 against sides in the top nine, statistics which are thought to have been a particular cause of concern for the Glazers.

Moyes’s one-dimensional tactics and poor squad management have invited a torrent of criticism while neither of his two signings, Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata - who arrived for a combined total of £65 million - have made much of an impact and failed to inspire confidence before another anticipated splurge in the transfer market.

Nor has Moyes looked comfortable under such an intense spotlight, with his press conferences and interviews doing little to project an image of strength or unity.

Although he managed to persuade Wayne Rooney to stay at Old Trafford, eyebrows were raised at the decision to award a 5½ year contract worth £300,000 a week to a player who will be 29 in October.

As well as being beaten by Swansea City at Old Trafford in the FA Cup third round, United lost on penalties to Sunderland in the Capital One Cup semi-finals and were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The best part about this is that it is so big now that the club can't even postpone the sack till the end of the season. It will be extremely distracting. It has to happen before our next game.

Agreed. I very much doubt himself would want to say in the position of a sacked manager. It would be a bit ridiculous..

I'm not going to truly believe this till it's official. Imagine getting all excited about Moyes leaving and then having to deal with him for another few seasons. :lol:
 
Where does this leave the "YOU SHOULD NEVER WANT UNITED TO LOSE EVER" pricks? I was delighted Everton tanked us, and this is why. :D

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 
Press Association in on it:

The Press Association are now running the story:

"David Moyes will be sacked as Manchester United manager, according to reports.

"A series of reports surfaced on Monday afternoon that the Scot's ill-fated reign as Red Devils boss would shortly be brought to an end, possibly even before this weekend's game at home to Norwich.

"Press Association Sport understands that Moyes is, as things stand, still United manager, but Monday's reports appear to indicate his days are numbered at Old Trafford.

"Reports cited the 2-0 defeat to Moyes' former club Everton as the final straw for the Glazer family, which owns the club. United, who won the Premier League last season in Sir Alex Ferguson's final campaign in charge, are seventh in the table this time around."

How does the club backing the manager in his transfer targets mean they make horrible decisions?

The only decision they have made thus far is to sack this dreadful manager. That they backed him in his decisions is cause for optimism. They had next to nothing to do with his appointment.

You honestly believe the owners didn't have any say in hiring him/transfer activity. A glazer yes man is the chairman ffs, leave it out.
 
This is almost a similar feeling to when you seem close to signing a big player but are worried it might slip away at the last second, and how many times has a player slipped away from us :nervous:
