At least I think that that you were right.
Man United appoint Moyes | Round, Woods, Lumsden, P Neville in; Giggs player/coach; Albert stays
- Thread starter Wumminator
- Start date
I was right, right?
I
I'm impressed by how assured he has been so far and also by the fact he seems to be being himself and not, so it seems anyway, feel like he had to do this that or the other to appease or convince others. I really thought there would be a new signing at his unveiling, as a statement if intent if nothing else, but he just fronted up on he's own and put his foot down on certain issues like the Rooney one. Massive shoes to fill obviously but he doesn't seem overawed at all. I always thought that for whoever replaced the great man, believing they were good enough to do so was a big part of the job.
Given that that that that precedes the other that is a subordinator, yes, you were.
He has handled the press very well. I enjoyed hearing him deal with Maureen's Rooney comment, calmly as you please: If you insist on asking me the same question over and over I'll give you an answer, but it will be the same every time, so perhaps you should think of something else to ask...
Its really really weird seeing Phil Neville on the touchline shouting instructions to the players 
Its gonna take a while to get used to it.

About as much attacking threat as one would expect from a Moyes side, eh?
To be clear, I'm joking.

Ill never get used to that. Dont want to.
saw him giving instructions to Evra.....that must feel a bit weird. Especially since Evra's a premier league champion a few times over recently and Neville hasn't got close to one for ages. But hey, Neville's united..so that is ok...
Any interesting quotes from Moyes after the game.
What does that even mean?
Lost a pre-season game, plus the lack of appeal of our city compared to London, Munich or wherever
There's surely only one thing for it
Sack Moyes, Sell Manchester

Imagine, a coach telling a player what is expected of him. What a fecking cnut.
Why? Would you rather some guy from another club who you'd never heard of until he came to United? Someone like, I don't know, Carlos Queiroz, Steve McLaren or Rene Mulensteen?
Ah, I've just noticed the problem. P Neville is English, while the 3 I've mentioned are a Portugeezer and two Dutchies.
Agreed
This is worser than Bin Laden getting a traffic ticket.
Almost as worse as mods posting in closed thread.
Chris Woods hasn't won anything since he played for Rangers either. De Gea should just tell him to feck off in training.
But he hasn't won anything in ages. I'm sorely tempted to start a thread titled What does Phil Neville do? The problem is I already know the answer. feck all apart from condascend Patrice Evra.
That certainly sounds like a thread I would read. I might follow you so I don't miss it.
He's a coach you know - not only an ex-player who hasn't won something in ages - it's his job doing such things.
Goddamn cnut Neville, coaching, like a coach. What a fecking nerve our new coach has.
What I meant, before all the caf elite's start rolling their elitist eyes as they always bloody do, is that it's going to be hard for some of these senior players to get used to being coached from ex-players that they played with or against last season, that is all ie..neville, giggs. I'm not dissing Neville or Giggs or anybody. There are a feck load of changes throughout the whole structure of this club this season and if anyone thinks everything just carries on as normal, well they are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Played against last season? Why should that be an issue? If our players can't deal with being coached by a coach who used to be a player then I'd suggest they've taken up the wrong fecking career.
well, its about experience as well. You are being coached by someone who hasn't coached before at this level yes? The previous coaching staff helped united to titles in 08,09,11 and 13. Of course there will be trust issues and confidence issues when things change...it's bloody obvious, especially with senior players who have been with united for some time and use to a system that has bred success. It's like a whole new management coming into the successful company you work for that has been bought out....there is initial insecurity, it's natural...
Where did those coaches who helped coach United to those titles coach before they coached United?
Where had Quieroz, McLaren, Muelensteen coached before coaching United? What about Phelan? What had Brian Kidd done other than play for United to qualify him to be United coach?
I know McLaren was at Derby but I couldn't tell you about the rest without going to Google. Let's see what the new boys can do before we judge them.
Phelan had won the premiership, in fairness.
But yeah the guy with an issue over P Nev? Although not as good a player he was every bit as much a a utd player as Evra. He is now a coach and will be a very good one.

Well, Muelensteen coached Brondby for three years before he came to united. Quieroz had a feck load of coaching experience before he came to united. Kidd coached at Barrow (ok not huge) and then coached the youngsters at united before being promoted because of his ability....Phelan was assistant manager to Gary Megson at Norwich...
anyway....I'm sure Phil will be amazing...so forget it...
As a player, with United. Like Phil Neville.
Yup. For some reason I thought someone asked what had Mike done...
Phil Neville was coaching at Everton, and has been for a while. You mentioned coaching at this level. United level. None of those coaches had experience of coaching at the level United play at before they came to United.
I did. In reference to how much more had he done to qualify himself for a coaching role at United than Phil Neville.
Go look up the career of mourinho
Yes, reply condescendingly to an argument no one has made.
