Confirmed: Moyes sacked.

I've heard from a friend who works within sky sports that a decision should be made tonight and that it will be in support of moyes - make of that what you will. :(

Could well be the case. No one knows.
 
I think Oggmonster summed it up very well a couple of pages back. I'm not as upset by the season as most posters, granted it's not been enjoyable but it's been entertaining watching so many lose their shit over football.
That's a bit patronising, Doc. After all, we're here because we're the type of people who can lose their shit over football.
 
Just watched a bit on SKY. I don't think he's getting sacked.
Mitten, Ogden, Ducker and Taylor all reporting it like a foregone conclusion. I understand the scepticism just in case, but really, it's happening.
 
Yeah, Mitten has been spot on time and time again and has been relatively cautious with this. Said Moyes is definitely going but isn't sure whether it is imminently, end of the week or end of the season, although he did add if it's known already it's more likely to happen sooner rather than later.
 
Someone senior from inside the club has surely briefed the press for them to simultaneously run with the story - and not claim any kind of 'exclusive'. This would seem at odds with the club then coming out and backing him?
 
Started a new season in Fifa, named the manager Jurgen Klopp. Read into that what you will.

That you fantasize about being Jurgen?

He'd be the perfect appointment. If he really is going to finish his contract no matter what, a van Gaal for 2-3 seasons in the meantime wouldn't be bad.
 
i think this thread is going to reach 100 pages by tomorrow morning, and if he is not sacked by then, who knows..

Whats the largest thread in redcafe history?
 
It's 1915 in London and 1415 in New York. Wasn't there something in this thread previously about the stock exchange thing and announcement to be made after 1400?
4pm New York time. 9pm UK.

People have posted and tweeted that no announcement will be made before 21:00 London time, as that is when NYSE stops trading.

Christ you are some pessimist if you are getting that from Sky Sports.
As I'm watching King Eric is on with his kronenberg ad so I'm saying its a sign and Moyes is defo gone.

Indeed. Journos are NEVER so specific with their stories.

Delaney said that its definate, that the execs are privately briefing all the main press guys. No doubt to help curry favour later with their 'favourite' press people
 
I'm not sold on Klopp. I'd rather someone with a wider and deeper range of experience. He's a top coach but he's only really had that two year spell where he's been successful at one club. At least what we need in the short term, say the next 2 - 3 years, is someone with a lot of experience in different leagues with different types of players.
 
Giggs and Gary as Manager/Assistant! Scholes as coach! Ole can work with the Forwards! :drool:

Joking aside has there been anything concrete behind this story?

After having the chance to watch Sky Sports...all they had to say was "DM "could" lose his job but the Club don't have anything to say and people close to Moyes says it is business as usual!"

Not sure that is worth getting too excited about for all the DM haters.
 
Only person I feel bad for in this whole fiasco is Phil Neville. This is likely the second time he's being pushed out of the club. I hope they put him somewhere in the academy coaching rather than throw him out with the rest of Moyes' staff.
 
Sun, Guardian, Telegraph, Mail, BBC claim Welbeck has said he would like to leave

"Bollocks, they all just decided to make the shite up to sell papers

Sun, Guardian, Telegaph, Mail, BBC claim Moyes is about to get sacked

"Must be true, they wouldn't all run the story if it wasn't"

He's got an eye for talent, he has a great football philosophy, he's amazing with the media, his players love him, he's taken Dortmund extremely far despite being continually pillaged and he's younger than the "young" David Moyes. He could stay for more than a decade.

Who'd you want? Who do you think is slightly realistic of that level?
 
Will you be handing out free stuff on Saturdayt once Moyes is confirmed for the exit? :p

I'm sure we will be handing out DVDs of Moyes' best Man Utd moments. So basically the 90 minutes vs Wigan. :D

I think both were true. Welbeck's PR team leaked the story and someone inside the United hierarchy leaked this news today. The real death nail is respected sources like The Guardian and the Telegraph all reporting on it at the exact same time. It was orchestrated from a real leak.

Entertaining? ENTERTAINING?!

Good God man. With the inept one in charge we've surrendered every ounce of pride left in our people. Our noble women have become whores, our children slaughtered in the night, we've been the laughing stock of the world 4 eva. God said come fourth, we came in seventh etc
