I'd want United to lose a game if it benefits the club longer term. Stops City or Liverpool winning the league, or keeping United out of Europa league.
Confirmed: Moyes sacked.

I thought it was a very interesting article
I would not want United to lose just to prevent Liverpool from winning a title. That is completely small time.
You really think David Moyes has a twitter account, what's more one labelled MrUnsackable?
Moyes isn't on Twitter, that's a fake tweet.
As for Rio, he's on drugs. Or something.
- The Moyes tweet is not really him.
- It is Cantona's famous quote.
- It is supposed to be funny because it is completely unrelated. You didn't miss the point. There is no point.
Even if a win had no benefit for United? That's insane.
the unsackable oneIf they must sack Moyes now then fine but I hope they announce the successor on the final day of the season, after our game. And Ryan Giggs' retirement, and a record breaking sponsorship deal.
Share the news time.
If Klopp becomes our manager, whenever a Liverpool fan brings up the title I will bring up Dortmund. Share the conversation time.
I would also tell them, I'd sooner Liverpool win the title and get Klopp than they not win the title and not get Klopp. Getting Jurgen Klopp is better than winning the title this season because now we'll just win it next season, and the season after that. (We probably won't, but by that point I'll think of something else to say).
Yea ok thx for pointing that one out me, fairly obvious he wouldn't so that isn't Moyes.
Still no idea why somebody posted that on here then, ah well never mind.
I disagree as I feel he was going to get at least a season (or thereabouts) regardless of the contract length. And as was expected, the long contract had riders for dismissal for poor performance, which ultimately rendered the length of contract to just a number and/or a PR exercise.
I'm from Chatham, and thus a Man of Kent. The Medway runs through Maidstone though, so @Garethw could be either.
A "senior official" at the club briefing the press is different than an official brief. He may have been acting on his own, or at least without the full consent of the board. Perhaps even in an attempt to accelerate the discussion/decision if there were a couple of hold outs on the board wanting to hold on to him. I would think the board would have to be steadfastly firm behind Moyes to keep him after today, because that would mean pissing off the media (for giving them a fake story), enduring the embarrassment of the circus that this would create, and having more irate fans than usual.
Also, United just don't keep secrets like they used to. Look at Fergie's retirement announcement being leaked before he was ready, or the word of Moyes being hired, or the transfer circus last year. I guess that's not really a reason, more just an example that this is the way of things.
Well that probably was his Twitter handle before today.
at noarrojusbeta. sorry mate. I think Utd would be feckin nuts to give Moyes 100M or 150M BSP to spend this summer. He's already proven he can't be trusted with other peoples money in the two big transfers he did make.
It's a bit like that quote from 300 - MrUnsackable?
We'll put that name to the test.

What is fair play in those small timers letting world know their exact level and mentality?
I wonder how much of this was true, if he had known he would be shown the door (might explain some of his press conferences since) and whether he made a offer to resign - if he did the latter i have to say i have a bit more respect for him as he probably realised the job was too great for him
I used to work with a bloke from down that way years ago and he always described himself as a "Man of Kent" and looked askance at me when I called him "Kentish". Well, maybe it was the way I pronounced it.

To...today? Or has someone forgotten that today is Monday and they mean tomorrow?
Did someone just think Rio and Moyes were having it out on twitter?Well, he did get a season in the end.
It wasn't a PR exercise, it was common sense. They wanted to ensure that he was on a long-term contract because they felt it was important to try and show that they placed long-term trust and faith in him, but you don't do that without making sure you put a clause in place in case things go wrong. If they hadn't put any clauses in then Moyes could've done appallingly, while leaking inside info on the club to all our rivals, while coming out and insulting the owners and Fergie, and expected full compensation. Of course he wasn't going to do that, but the point is that it'd be daft for the club not to put clauses in place in case things went wrong.
Just got in. Any real news come out? Heard something about Rio, what did he say?
Yup !
What have you done with the real Empire with his long Moyes defensive posts? Or you some other guy?
Giggs and Butt.

Interesting, maybe he will be shafted before bed time.
The unsackable one.
Without stating the obvious, something is finally balanced. It reminds me of one of those transfers that's reliant on the selling club buying the replacement player before they commit. I think the problem may well be around who takes over the role. Really no point sacking the man without a replacement. Klopp isn't going anywhere and has one eye on the Germany job anyway. LVG, I'm not sure he could commit to Utd and manage the dutch through the WC. That would make his summer here redundant. Might be others in the frame but cant see it....
I get the feeling that they are gonna want reassurances from DM, and depending on who backs him within the club, will depend on whether he stays or goes.

Not even dinner time for the Glazers yet. Ogden has been spot on with everything about United this season. He seems to know a lot about it too, saying Nicky Butt will be assistant manager. Must have heard something.

He realised the writing was on the wall when we lost an away game.
Happens to us all mate!

(He writes an article in United we stand fanzine every month)
@NoArroJusBeta for believing Mr Unsackable is Moyes...They are not going to hire him. They didn't want him back when he was reasonably successful with Everton, no reason why they would change their minds after he failed at United.
