Confirmed: Moyes sacked.

Had a feeling there would be some kind of clause in his contract with regards to CL football. Defeat yesterday made it impossible for a top 4 finish and allows us to go our separate ways without having to sack him and pay him out the remainder of his contract in full.

Good move if so.
 
The Glazers are not stupid. I am glad to know that the decision to sack him was already made a long time ago. They just needed the clause to be activated.
 
That's way more exciting than the hours before his appointment when almost everyone knew it would be Moyes but still hoped it would be Mourinho/someone else.
 
The reactions if it's not true will be funnier than all the 1300+ posts in this thread combined :lol: At least for me.
 
ESPN said that we supposedly don't have to pay more than a year's severance.

Also, as I said at the start, it is quite 'convenient' that it's happening the day after it's finally mathematically impossible for us to get top four.
Yeah a lot of us thought that there would be performance related clauses, which would make perfect sense given the length of the contract.
 
was the SAF retirement not announced just before the NYSE opened ?
If it was I suspect the same will happen here and we wont here anything until early in the morning.

Yes, it was official when I woke up. I'm in NY's timezone. The night before it was just rumors.

Can still remember a Liverpool fan smugly walking over with a smirk on at the Moyes news.
And other United fans trying to make out they were happy with it.
Pretty much in the same way we greeted the Hodgson newss and they tried to brave face tgat too!
 
Could be after trading hours though, which would be about 21:00 BST (from what I've read).
 
Screw it. I worked hard on it, so I'm posting it again. This is what I think Moyes is going to say as a goodbye speech.

Dun-dun-dun-duhduh-dun...
Dun-dun-dun-duhduh-dun...


Yo, MUFC, Let's kick it!

Nice, nice Davy.
Nice, nice Davy.


All right stop, capitulate, no vision,
Moysie here on a terrorist mission.
Just when you thought we'd start to play brightly,
I'd change the line up, next time play shitely.
Would it ever stop? Yo - I don't know,
It's not Sir Alex would tell me to go!
To the extreme, I made us cross like Dracula,
Went from fun to boring like I flipped it with a spatula.

Ashley, down the wing and then BOOM!
Don't look up as you smash the ball across the room.
Deadly, with Juan or Shinji in the centre,
But I thought that Rooney could do better.
Love me or hate me, you better calm down,
Because I thought I could turn it around.
If there was a problem, yo I'd solve it,
With tactics so static you'd think the team was on Prozac.

But, this morning the Glazers called me into a meeting,
They told me exactly how they were feeling.
My tactics, like T-Rex, are prehistoric,
So Klopp's coming in, and he's gonna evolve it.

Yo man, I'm out of here. Word to your mother!


EDIT: I'm sorry, but I'm losing my mind waiting for an update.
