Confirmed: Moyes sacked.

ESPN say that the club have not denied the rumors. That's a positive shift in language than the no comment reported in other sources. Yes, I know I'm taking this too seriously.
 
The reactions if it's not true will be funnier than all the 1300+ posts in this thread combined :lol: At least for me.

Funny? It'd be anything but funny. Most had accepted that he'd be the manager next season. Not its partying all around. If he stays now, things will be very very bad :D
 
David Moyes next presser "My job here is secure, I'm here to stay" The meltdown on the caf will be something else.
 
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!
Fabulous!
At least we'll do quite well in Europe.
You're on a roll! :lol:
 
the club need to do it, or back him.

we are not having this sh!t dragging on for months dagnabbit,
 
No, they trusted the judgement of Sir Alex. It isnt stupid by any stretch of imagination.
Yes but Bloxy was right that SAF has lost the plot.

Being more serious, it was a completely stupid decision despite SAF' recommendation. It was pretty obvious that it will end on tears. Probably hindsight now, but they should have done what Liverpool's owners did with Rodgers, making a lengthy round of interviews with several managers before they decided to get one. Hiring Moyes without considering the other candidates was extremeley retarded, regardless that SAF was convinced. A big decision should have been made by a few people, not just a single one, regardless his history with us.
 
Anybody got the stats for the fastest growing new thread ever, btw? 20+ pages in the first hour or so is impressive.
I'd imagine the Fergie retirement thread had a similar or even faster rate.
 
No, they trusted the judgement of Sir Alex. It isnt stupid by any stretch of imagination.
They tried to do the right and nostalgic thing. The handing of the legacy to the person whom the beholder saw the most of himself in.

Unfortunately I think Ferguson was far too modest. Rather than accounting his success to his skills developed over a long career, he thought it was Scottishness, to our detriment.
 
:lol:

and now I realised we won't be in Europe next year. Wir brauchen Lebensraum!

We'll arrange a friendly against FC Danzig. A few United players will turn up wearing Polish shirts and MUTV will make an announcement about the Poles playing dirty tricks. That ought to get the ball rolling.
 
Not sure an announcement has to be made after trading ends. In rare cases trading is suspended-but only jf volume and volatility warrant it.

There's no news on any investor calls-and the share price today is slightly down. Again, I suspect the market's already included Moyes's sacking in the price.
 
It's glaringly obvious that the mathematical impossibility of reaching 4th is what sealed Moyes' fate. That was the very reasonable minimum target the Glazers had set for the team this season. He's failed miserably in almost every way.
 
These better not be false reports. I'll never read the telegraph guardian, daily mail, etc. again.
 


Odd thing to do IMO, comment on one but not the other. If I was them would just refuse to speak to anyone.
