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?!
New Kit
That looks shit. Also look at the agony on Moyes face, even though he's smiling. He has seen so much pain.
Photographers: "That's great David, but maybe another one with you on the other side of the crest"
....
Photographers: "Yeah that's good, let's try it from another angle though, maybe from above?"
...
"OK, I think we've covered that"
I like that new kit.
So perhaps Mourinho did get spurned by Fergie heh heh

@MiguelDelaney After being rejected by Mourinho I take it. Pep, Hazard & Jose, 3 rejections in the past 12 months, Ouch.
Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney
@BlueMo1905 United actually 'rejected' Mourinho. Minority of board wanted him. Majority thought he'd be uncontrollable...

@BlueMo1905 ... Mendes desperately pushing for the job in May, despite Chelsea agreement.
Even though I wanted Mourinho, I am happy with Moyes.

Moyes is about to come to TalkSport for an interview in fifteen minutes or so.

He's live right now.
Moyes:
Excellent interview. Moyes sounded in control.
On Transfers:
Said that we're working really hard to get the best players in
On Rooney:
Again said that they've a very, very good relationship and he's not for sale. Also said that coaches have told him that he's in his best shape for years.
Youth Players:
Said that his main priority is to integrate youngsters in the team and they'll be taking some of the youngsters on the squad.
Ryan Giggs:
Said that he's amazed by Giggsy. Also said that Neville and Giggs are familiar with Man Utd and that'll help Moyes in managing the club.
The rest of it was pretty standard stuff.

shite missed this, any good?
Fantastic, means Januzaj will be going on tour for sure. I'd expect Michael Keane to also go as well as the likes of maybe Lignard, Cole, Thorpe and Vermijl. How about Petrucci? Wonder how he's getting on, he might go as well if he's back in fitness.
It's always nice to hear that Giggs is helping our new coach settle in. I suppose that's going to be a major part of his coaches role for a while under Moyes.
http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-n...-repeats-message-wayne-rooney-not-sale-201324I missed it.
Can I find a recorded version somewhere, KM?
Looks like he may hold on to 2 of our best players after all (Ronald & Nani).
Maybe I misjudged him, it would be a big coup if he can.
If we sign Thiago too, I'll be happy.

Well he is really diplomatic when it comes to transfers and doesn't let anything slip and even if it drives us Muppets mad I think it's the right route to take, would hate of him to do a Harry and announce every other week which player he wants to sign.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I for one am very hopeful we can hold on to Ronald. He's such a brilliant player.
Has Rodney taken on a new name again? It's changing so fast I can't keep track.
He definitely the big mac as far as the team is concerned.
Same look as murray sports oftentimes. In fact, they look a bit alike. Not raysyst.
Still think it's possibly not wise to overlook the prospect that we have a bunch of coaches (Manager, assistant, first team coach and two senior coaches) with either absolutely no experience in the role at all or no experience in the role at the level they're going to be asked to work at.
I'm fully supportive of Moyes being appointed and his right to pick whomever he likes to do whatever job he likes and to structure his backroom staff how he sees fit. But him aside I'm concerned that we've gone from coaches who spent a good few years at the level you'd expect Manchester United coaches to be at to a few people who to some degree or another will be effectively learning on the job.

I think you look too much to experience and don't see other more important things. All the coaches that Moyes appointed from Everton are very experienced and the former players bridge the gap between them and the club/squad.
Why is bridging the gap important?
Did you honestly think even for a moment when Ferguson retired "I hope the new manger bridges the gap between the coaching and playing staff" - because it was honestly not a consideration for me.
Why is experience important at all? Phelan, Steel and Rene didn't have much experience at 'this' level when they came to United either. Moyes or any new manager at any club are always going to bring their own staff to the club so I am not sure why people are surprised
Do you really not think that the players and coaches getting along and having mutual respect from the get go is important?
Some pricks are already on his back it seems. God forbid people would try and make the hardest job in football easier by actually supporting him. Enough people will have the daggers out for him soon without United fans joining in too.
Stickles has some of the strangest opinions i've seen on here. The Moyes appointment didn't excite me in the slightest, but finding a negative somehow in him getting United players past and present involved in the coaching set-up takes a special kind of reasoning.
There have been some completely bizarre promotions recently.
When did I say that?
Be easier if we debate what was actually said and not resort to "Do you really not think" and then just invent something.
Clearly by 'bridging the gap' I meant ensuring that that mutual respect and good working relationship was there immediately. I think it's pretty clear that that is one of the major factors behind Moyes thinking for these appointments.
Aye, I'm not sure the new rep system is producing the best results. No issue with people being promoted with different ideas but some of them have been strange to say the least.
That that is a good point that that is.
No, you were right. I just found it funny because it made it look like you were typing with a stutter.
I'm easily amused.
