Just feck off, Neville.
Rio is such an idiot on Twitter, an amusing one though.

Meh Neville would have a point if we were 4th and looking semi decent but 7th and fecking clueless is not good enough. Besides we need to spend money and I wouldn't trust Moyes with that, it's a no brainer for me.
I know Neville has to be cautious over what he says because his brother is on the coaching staff, but his punditry on everything United has been awful this season.
I'd have expected the stock to go up with heavy investment and a qualified successor imminent.
Gary's a moron.
Gary has been pretty shit this season. Carragher has been schooling him during the entire year. He also looks like he cares for United more than Gary.
They need to talk to the staff they are letting go before they talk to the media
Yahoo appointing Marissa Mayer, the Satya Nadella Microsoft appointment, Facebook buying Whatsapp all happened during the day. I couldn't find the time on all the press release statements from the companies but it could be done in the morning as you say.
He has carried himself very poorly in this whole Moyes reign as the boss. Absolutely petty behaviour. Leaking the first team was when I really lost respect. He shouldn't have let the team down in such tough times.
He seems to be ignoring the facts with United though... Just harps on about United not being a sacking team and how Moyes deserves to be given time.
I agree with Carragher on the situation, if Moyes had shown signs of improvement then he should be backed. But no signs of improvements means he has to go.
Rival fans telling you to not change your manager is probably the most telling sign you've got the wrong guy
No, he just says what you want to hear.
I imagine the behind the scenes stuff if frantic right now.
Would all of Moyes' coaches would probably need dismissing or would we just sack the alpha male and see if they want to follow suit, if not keep them until the end of the season?

Guardian have updated their article, with reasons and a bit more information. Discuss the idea that Moyes has alienated some of the players, the Welbeck situation and some of the performances this year.

My guess is that the market already priced Moyes's departure into the price. Not sure there will be much of a price effect once the actual announcement comes out.
Gary tries so hard to be seen as neutral that he ends up going too far in the other direction.
Why do the club have to clarify? They can take their time over it. If they've made up their minds there's no need to make announcements immediately. The club will do it when the club thinks fit.
Neville dug his own grave early in the season and is too stubborn to change his viewpoint.
He's always been like that. Plus I don't think he wants to be seen as one who calls for the manager's head.
Scholes was the same when he was a pundit. He pretty much tore Moyes' tactics to shreds and then said that he needed time. Gary has been criticizing United's play a lot in commentary.
I'd read between the lines on this one.

Gary says that this is not the "United way" of doing things, but all the embarrassing results this season are?
All the post-game comments and all the other comments from Moyes are of the 'United way"?

Think everyone missing what Neville was saying between the lines. When the presenter stated that neville had always said utd should stick with moyes he said ' i did' not 'i do'. he then goes on a tangent about man utd historically not being a sacking side. He didnt say he disagreed with it. What he DID say was that the issue needs to be sorted ASAP. Bear in mind his brother is in thi stoo thats not an unreasonable stance. He knows the officials have been briefing the press and hes not happy with the unprofessionalism of that.
And neither should we.
And neither should we.
It might not be the stock exchange that's holding up the press release.
They're going to want to make sure whatever statement they come out with is accurate, clear and concise, after all, the whole world is watching and waiting. Plus, they are probably at liberty to contact everyone on the board, major shareholders, major sponsors etc. about the news.
They're probably drafting something up now that will have to be viewed by 15 different people around the globe (including the whole legal team) before going public to ensure everything is above board. I'm sure if we're just patient it will come to light soon enough.
Bit of a difference. We're coming off the back of being Champions of England to this. By the end of the season we'll probably be closer to the relegation zone than retaining our title.
Aye, I imagine it's the necessity of this hive of activity which has caused a leak in the first place. Too many cooks spoil the broth and all that.
Rio is loving this. Wouldn't have posted that if he cared one ounce about Moyes' job.
Carragher is loving this - everything he says about Utd is coloured by his love for his own club. I don't find him a convincing pundit - I find him a glaringingly obvious, go with the herd type of commentator. I think we have shown signs of improvement - not enough, surely, but definitely better than we were. And while I have no real issue with the club deciding to acquire a new manager, this press-briefing way of going about it is hardly laudable.
Yeah, can't help but thinking he's acting like a bit of a knob. However, he knows what has gone better than any of us on here. Still, should have kept it shut in my opinion.
Agree.
It depends how you look at it.
"So David, why did you resign?"
"I couldn't do the job and the players didn't like me"
That sounds worse than saying you were sacked because the players refused to play for you or you weren't leaving unless they sacked you. It depends how you look at it but being sacked by Manchester United shows more fighting spirit and character than walking out because it got tough.
I wonder, was that bit ever confirmed?
Sounds about right to me.
He's a twat though. Moyes still is his current line manager. Regardless of his departure. Rio's ego has outgrown his worth at the club. I'm not sure if it's a result of his ego getting bigger, his worth getting less or a combination of both. I won't miss him as a person though.
what qualified successor is imminent to your knowledge?
What annoys me about what Neville says is the part where he says we need to be different. Why? What makes us any better, or different, when it comes to the other most successful clubs in the world when appointing managers? They're still at the top, and we've dropped to 7th. He's probably annoyed that his brother may lose his job, but a select few need to get off their high-horse with this whole thing.
We aren't playing the United way, but we shouldn't sack him because it's not the United way?
Nonsensical Neville

Fair point.
Get real, Gaz is a much better pundit than Carragher.
You just agree with Carragher's views.
Get ready for Rio's "Moyesout party" pictures that will be uploaded later.
Gary Neville in being a knobhead shocker
What principles? That a football club that makes a mistaken managerial appointment is morally obliged to allow him to destroy it?
Neville has shown himself to be a fool. Or else he values his brother's job more highly than the future of the club he represented for twenty years.
Because they've been spot on. His comments after the game yesterday regarding us were correct.
This. I'm not too bothered though- Rio will likely be the next one out the door.
