Don't know how to feel everyone will want a convincing win and it would help to ease nerves but they are a championship side. The first few games in the league will be a big test. I expect OT to remain a fortress because I think he understands how to play/win at home from his time at Everton.
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) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

It would be really strange turning up to 'that' job and having a first day.
Like a real live version of FM muppets starting a new game.

We're playing Wigan not City.
When I said the Charity Shield is a massive game (unlike previous years) I mean't because of Moyes.
If Fergie lost to Wigan there would be folk saying it's only the Charity Shield. If Moyes looses to Wigan then everybody will read more into it.
We're not playing Chelsea, City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc - it's a game we should win regardless of who is at the helm so it's a fantastic chance for Moyes to get a bit of silverware under his belt - something many folk have been quick to point out that he hasn't done yet.
Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup - who knows when our next one might be.
Look at Liverpool fans - they've been waiting a lifetime for Fergie to retire, clinging to the hope that we'll crumble when he leaves. I know it's 'just' the Charity Shield but if they see Moyes picking up a trophy early doors then that can only be a good thing.

If people want to be like that it's up to them, that doesn't excuse them it just explains their behavior. Personally I'm not arsed, but if people are impatient and loud with it by nature like some I've seen then I'm just glad I'm not them
Day 2, what fashion, outdated office equipment and doors at Carrington can we expect to see today?
24 hours in, no new signings. Bitter disappointment.
The question is will that experience be enough? United fans will only be patient for so long. At some point Moyes will have to deliver and hopefully it's sooner than later. I share a similar opinion with TN. Not all that convinced but a good appointment nonetheless. I refrain from sharing my actual opinion on here simply because I feel it wouldn't be welcome here but long story short, I am not too optimistic. Not yet at least.
Any room for Scholesy?

For anyone who doesn't want to click on a link, I'll summarise the jokes for you here.
Moyes is not SAF.
Rooney wants to leave.
Everton are poor.
Well, I found it funny. I guess we can't all be as high brow and sublime as you, Twigginater.
What I would give to ban this fecker Twigginater from redcafe and all other manchester united forums.
Has he turned up today?
All i know is that it will be really bizarre not to see SAF and likes this season. Our team will have a new face 
Big feature on Moyes in the new issue of Four Four Two. Out today.

Twigginator?
Dressing room Bible discussions? Is Moyes a known religious man?
He'll be reading Kopites out to the dressing room soon.
He was banned, then invited back, posted for a bit then decided that he preferred twitter so left.
Born again Christian, apparently, though he doesn't talk about it.
An ex-teammate had a bit of a rant at him and two others back in his playing days, calling them the "God Squad".
Is his first press conference Friday?? its gona be very intresting
the more i think about this appointment the more believe it was the right choice.
It's been a disaster, no signings, Rooney wants to leave, one of most talented youngsters has left and top it off Phelan has left too....can it get any worse?
"Thankye all for coming to here today, at the start of my new life as manager of this great club. Now if you'll turn to page 3 of the media packs I've prepared, you'll see the well-planned details of my next holiday in ...."
Reporter 1: "Is Rooney staying?"
"Well, I've had a good talk with the lad and he told me all about this great place to relax in Florida, where ...."
Reporter 2: "But what about Alcantara? Any news?"
"Yep, he sent me a very nice photo of himself sitting by a pool, and I must say that Barcelona looks an excellent place for a short break when ..."
Reporter 3: "Is Baines coming in to replace Evra?
"Nah, I don't see that happening. Great player but he doesnae want to move further away from Blackpool, which I can understand 'cos it's a decent shout for weekends away. In fact tomorrow I'm .... "
Reporter 3: "So is Evra staying?"
"Nah, he's off to Monaco, the lucky bastard. I mean, have you seen the beaches there? Mile after mile of golden sand, with lots and lots of ..."
MUFC official: "Err, yes, umm ... thankyou very much David. And thankyou all for what has been an excellent set of questions, which ...."
Moyes: "Wait, wait, you hav'nae all seen ma holiday snaps yet. There's a great one 'o me standin' next to the Eiffel Tower. And lookie here, I mean, Machu Picchu ... I can'nae believe it. And this one, on the strip at Vegas. It was feckin' brilliant and ...."
I am sure Moyes has something up his sleeve. There's no way he wouldn't add some steel to our midfield.
Even my dog knows our central midfield is softer than the centre of TREBOR.
GlastonSpur's only funny when he's not trying to be. Shocker.
Neil Custis claiming Phil Neville has arrived at Carrrington..
new left back. and midfielder.
What role is left? Phelan, Rene and Steele have all been replaced. Only person who hasn't been replaced is.... Albert!
PHIL THE NEW KITMAN.
Albert the kitman is the backbone of this club, getting rid of him would be like losing Fergie...
Times a million.
Times a million.
Phil is in to replace Fred
Bit concerning that he's got zero experience as a coach. Hopefully he's not taking Rene's old job and is just on the team of coaches.
Sorry to tell you this man, but I'm pretty sure Albert retired... I could be wrong but I'm sure it's the case.
