Good you mentioned that. The Board must be having a hard time trying to cope with these scenario should they sack Moyes. Poor board.
Crumbs... as in, "Oh crumbs, the leak was a wind up."
I would stake my house on the fact that dumping Moyes will considerably increase our chances of signing decent players.
Stahp it, Olly!
Let's not entertain such barbarism.
Crumbs? I'll give you crumbs Jamie Jackson you cryptic arsehole.
Is the crumbs quote supposed to mean something? Or is he just being a Bevis?
Oh no, Anderson's back...
I think Gary Neville is seriously blinded by some false idea of Manchester United. Those players won the league last season and you would think that they would be full of belief. A bad manager took down every bit of confidence from the players. And a good manager made players like Iago Aspas believe that they could be champions. I don't get how Moyes could even make his own team. He would still have most of the players from the current side. The same players he sipped confidence out from. It would be the same story again next season. Even Manchester United don't have the money to buy a whole new squad.
Sky Sports news have just stated that UTD do not need to inform the stock exchange as moyes is not a member of the board.
Which is irrelevant once the stock exchange closes anyway.

He got them to a CL final. And any bayern fan will tell you he modernised their football and laid a foundation for his successor to build on.
Sacked after winning succesive league titles at barca.
He may end up burning his bridges, but he'll do well in the shortterm and probably leave a good team for the man who comes after.
Van Gaal, preparing for a World Cup & only after that, preparing for United - not ideal.
If anyone does actually like Jamie Jackson (I do...) he's on ITV news at 10 discussing what's what. Not sure if he's going to say anything new or the same clip that was on C4 news earlier which didn't add anything not already posted in this thread.
We just differ on opinion about van gaal. I think he's a good manager btw, just don't think he's much of an improvement on moyes really. I don't have to 'give in' when he got sacked only a couple years ago for having bayern 4th in a handy little german league. I don't think really that puts him in the elite bracket of managers, even if he did win the CL 20 years ago
No announcement yet.
Imagine how terrible it would be if we didn't sack him now. To get to the stage when you think you are finally rid of him only to have to see his gormless smile again at the end of it. I'd go mad.
Rio:
I had a quick check of SAF's biog and it says that his retirement had to be kept silent from certain people he would otherwise have told due to the requirements of the stock exchange. Make of that what you will.
See, that's a reasonable argument against hiring Van Gaal. It isn't ideal indeed; if we had a Director of Football it would be less of an issue but we don't operate that way.
Rio's smoking dope again.
Shut up Rio.
Rio: Less tweeting, more instagram videos please
yeah fair enough. I don't think it will do at all given how badly both of those ended, the players he fell out with and the fact that he'll only have half a summer yet again in the job. I'll go fecking mad if we still have giggs in CM next season
Yeah but that wasnt the point I was wondering about.
Van Gaal's list of honors:
Ajax
- Eredivisie: 1993–94, 1994–95, 1995–96
- KNVB Cup: 1992–93
- Johan Cruijff Shield: 1993, 1994, 1995
- UEFA Champions League: 1994–95
- UEFA Cup: 1991–92
- UEFA Super Cup: 1995
- Intercontinental Cup: 1995
AZ
Bayern Munich
Moyes' list of honors:
Preston North End
Manchester United
Yeah, not an improvement at all.
goddamit rio! couldn't you find another time to rustle up a shitstorm? or are you doing it deliberately? rio is not surely oblivious to the whole rumours.
But we waited to announce the Mata deal so this announcement would definitely happen when the exchange is closed.
Yup, he's pretty much saying he's happy about the rumours but isn't allowed to be. At least that's how I interpreted it. Bit dickish.
he knows he has no future and thinks this is him going out with a bang or something, brave rio standing up to the manager
Rio sticking the knife in!
He's saying everyone on his Twitter is biting, if he respected Moyes he wouldn't entertain the gossip/rumours imo:
Of course he's doing it deliberately. He's a knob.
haha what a waste of your time what are you at
