I think when it's such a seminal decision, he's as well placed as anyone to make the right decision. As such, I trust and back his judgment. We're not talking about a substitution here!
Man United appoint Moyes | Round, Woods, Lumsden, P Neville in; Giggs player/coach; Albert stays

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Indeed, this is a huge decision to have Moyes as his replacement, one he would have thought over and over again.Obviously nobody knows the future but so far SAF has more than earned our trust in his decision making and specially when it comes to the big ones.
Another late substitution by SAF. Fergie out.
I've got no problem with Moyes. Think he can do a good job.
Welcome and Good Luck to David Moyes. He has a very tough job ahead.

People act as if it's impossible for a manager to jump into a big job with no previous top club experience and do well. It's like the likes of Mourinho, Ancelotti, Klopp etc. were born into big clubs and didn't have to learn their skills somewhere before.
I'd understand it if Moyes had done poorly for Everton. He didn't disappoint there even for a single season perhaps with the exception of underwhelming 2005-06. He couldn't really take them any further, Spurs managers can't take them into top 4 consistently in spite of being given big funds for transfer fees and wages regularly. With 4-5 very powerful teams with resources multiple times bigger than Everton's there's only so much he could have done there.
Truth is he hasn't done a thing wrong in his career. He may well be capable of coming here and making another step up. There's little to suggest that he can't so give him time.

Sir David Moyes
So when is his first presser, 1st of July?
Even with Mourinho or Pep as Fergie succesors I wouldn't expect them to deliver as Sir Alex did, no one can ever match him.
Moyes comes as a man who's been patient enough with a weak side, and now got most prestige managerial place in the world, with Fergie just door away.
Hope he won't be shy of asking Sir Alex for advice, as Fergie is known as manager who was always supportive towards others managers, or ex players. Not that he will want to interfere in Moyes work, there's zero chance of that, but if Moyes comes across any difficulty he has great person to ask for quality advice or help.
Wish new manager all the best, hope he handles United steady and continue with our pride tradition, more than anything he must have United supporters behind him no matter how things work out. Welcome!

Moyes boys
I feel excited
COME ON DAVID feckING MOYES!!!

COME ON DAVID feckING MOYES!!!

Well if that's when his official post starts then I would presume so. His pressers are very similar to Fergie's, if he doesn't want to talk about something he'll tell the journo straight, won't be drawn into any traps they try and lay for him and he's got a bit of the Fergie glare about him too.
Got to give you lot some credit, despite Moyes being no more than a Scottish Roy Hodgson at least you lot are standing by him. Some of the abuse our lot gave to Roy was unacceptable and a bit shameful.
#21 is on its way next season!
did that reporter say "here's a good question..." at 2:22, asking about Amichebe?
Apparently in that instance they were told specifically not to ask questions about Anichebe.
Anyfeckingwhere. How do you know he won't be amazing, winning three titles and two Champions League trophies in 3 years with Real Madrid being keen on him? You don't, no one knows. Why are people so quick to assume that he's going to struggle?jumping to where?
I think will have a decent influence any way that is why he wanted someone like moyes rather than Mourinho.
Just enough time for Ole to move up the ranks and take over then!
Does Moyes have a wife and kids?
Yes.
He's one of those people who have the same name as their dad and name their son the same too. Not to be trusted
At least he isn't David Moyes II, now that bugs me.He's one of those people who have the same name as their dad and name their son the same too. Not to be trusted
He spent less on his team than your lot spent on their fecking TV show.
So what does it say about Brenton fecking Rogers that he and his three envelopes are sitting 5 points behind him?
Same to you and your Northern Irish Roy Hodgson.
Dude, they won the fecking possession and passing!
I feel the exact same way. I'll be hoping he does well and I'll support him. But it just doesn't look good. I don't think he'll be a success here. Let's hope I'm wrong though.
He better ditch those for the most part. Suit and tie, look respectable David!
I hope he doesn't wear his usual tracksuit too. It's got bleedin' Everton decor all over it.
Totally feel like signing Valencia, after we sold Ronaldo. There were many better wingers out there to replace the Ballon D'Or, but we settled for a winger from mid-bottom club who could do well on basic thing. Really a downer at that time.
I'll support the new manager, as I've supported any new players that we've bought, even when I thought they were not the best out there.
Valencia was brilliant when we first got him.
And has been right up until Late November last year.
Valencia wasn't really a Ronaldo replacement though. He was just a solid winger who became available. There was no Ronaldo replacement. Rooney just had to step up. And he did.
I don't think he's the right man but then again what do i know?
I thought mourinho at madrid would work wonders and it didn't, pretty much all the top managers in the world get sacked all the time, so it's not an exact science really.
He has my full support, the club is an a great shape and he seems be a great man, no complaints.

That's not the point. Were you happy when we bought him to replace Ronaldo?
And 'brilliant' is too far stretch to describe Valencia. Even at his short-period of peak, people could see he's a limited player, and in no way would be able to reach Ronaldo's level. Don't you think so?
