No, in the last few weeks I was certain he would be gone no matter what. But up to then I was fully supporting him and hoping beyond hope that things could turn in his favour.
you're entitled to your opinion and there's no way to prove this, imo more than 50% had their minds made up before he signed, and a lot more started dropping before the end of october even. pointless thing to argue since you can say 100% of people supported him until yesterday if you like and I'm not going to be able to prove otherwise
Why? The club have still been complimenting his approach to scouting as late as last month. Those stories of how he evolved training etc have always been around. Forget Mourinho, as he is a different type of manager. One thing I would say is that, I've not heard anyone say Moyes has revolutionised the way he does anything in the last 5 years or so. It could be he initially was ahead of the game, but everyone else has caught up.
Even if we get Van Gaal - who is a fecking CL winner, by the way, how is he not a top manager... - that won't mean that nobody else wanted to come to us because we sacked Moyes. That's ridiculous.
Indeed.
you need to do something different to compete in this league. People will happily point to liverpool about how chopping and changing managers and not spending that much money will win you leagues... but 1 league in 30 years or whatever isn't a great return for a club of that size. In order to beat chelsea/city with their money we will have to be focussed, and to me that means picking a manager and sticking with him, if it's moyes or not I don't care, but if we chop and change managers every 2 years while spending way way less than our rivals we are not going to win leagues very often
on here, yes, but not by the match-going fans and media, which is what's most important.
lol in 94? trap won CLs too you know, in the dark ages, lets get trap in

Gary Neville is hoping it isn't true.
Gary Neville would sooner his brother be in a job and United collapse. Is he even a proper fan?
He was under zero pressure for most of the season.
Do you realise the huge gaping flaw in this argument or shall I point out the obvious?
No one is saying we should do that nor would sacking Moyes be any indication of that happening.
I didn't say it would be entirely to do with fans. I listed a whole number of reasons why it probably doesn't look that attractive to be at united right now. Our first 11 is far weaker than our rivals and we have no CL to lure players to our aging and unsettled squad, whoever comes in has one summer to solve this or their head is on the chopping block too... in simeones case he could just stay at Atleti and keep doing what he's doing. You get what I'm saying? Fan thing is just a small part of why this job shouldn't look that attractive
This. A lot of people were also on the not a fan side but put it to the side because he became manager.
it's an incredible job to get. Strong squad, massive club, huge budget, and the only thing he has to do to make the fans happy is get top four and show signs of playing good football. Hell, I'd probably settle for one of those. The idea that we're not an attractive proposition for a new manager is madness.
did he not get sacked at bayern for having them 4th in bundasliga in april? that's tough to do. Previous job, sacked at Barca when they were flirting with relegation in January
