This appointment makes more sense the more I think of it. Welcome to the club, Mr Moyes!
And it seems to be working...
Tranfers are indeed a part of it, especially if you contrast it to someone like Mourinho's spending. But Moyes has proven he can bring stability to a club and build long term, again if you contrast Mourinho who is entirely focused on short term success and often leaves his club in a precarious position. Madrid fans can't wait to get rid of him, Inter Milan were left with a collection of 30+ year olds - there was little long term planning.
Personality wise he is a much better fit than Mourinho, who is frankly embarassing at times and lacks the class this club embodies.
He handpicked Moyes just like he handpicked our team to face City at the Etihad last season, he doesn't always make perfect decisions.The fact that he was Sir Alex' choice should be enough. Poor form to challenge his final decision at the club.
As fans there is nothing more we can do than welcome Moyes with open arms and get behind him with our 100% support.
It is a big change as a lot of us have never known anyone outside of Ferguson as our manager, but the change has come and it has come from the recommendation of the great man that we owe so much to.
When Ferguson took over an astonishing 27 years ago Matt Busby acted as the master to ferguson his apprentice, he instilled the drive, determination, and mainly the ethos and ideology of the club into ferguson, something that defines man utd.
I am thrilled that Ferguson is staying and you can bet your life that his influence and role in the club is still going to be felt. similarly to how busby moulded ferguson into the manager that defines our great club, ferguson will do the same for Moyes, and that is unequivocally important, and fills me with a lot of satisfaction and confidence.
Moyes has a huge task ahead of him, but with the help and close relationship with ferguson, which would not have been the case had we hired the egotistical arrogant Mourinho, no man is bigger than the club and Moyes just like Ferguson knows this.
All we can ask for is that he puts absolutely 100% into the job, and you can bet your life that he will do that, and under the tutelage of ferguson he has the potential to achieve great things at this wonderful club.
I fully endorse the decision and am completely committed to his reign at man utd as we leave one historical era and enter another.
It is a time of change and we have to embrace it.
Good luck David Moyes, you have my full support, and you could not have a greater teacher to learn what it means to be at Manchester United.
How is it poor form? I said in that big David Moyes thread last year that he wouldn't be my choice for the job. Should I now run around and make a liar out of myself and declare him World Class, the best fit imaginable for the club, a superbly stunning appointment etc etc etc, purely because he's here? That's no better than the people who say a player is shit until they sign for us.
I don't think he's the best man for the job, I never have, but he's here now and i'll support him with the job he has. Fair play to him, it's a huge job and people obviously think he's done plenty right to give him it. Big test for him and I hope he passes it. If he proves me wrong, i'll be delighted.
But nobody here should be playing the one up card and questioning fellow fans support purely because they haven't wet themselves with glee at our new managerial appointment. People are allowed an opinion. Has anyone told you to not be happy about it?
ouch
I think I support the opinion of the best manager of all time rather than a load of armchair fans who've never stepped foot in Old Trafford.
Good appointment.
It's not a cop out. SAF and MUFC have sat the man down and spoke to him. I fabcy I know a bit about football but not as much as them on this matter. It'd have to be Steve Kean before I'd flip out. Moyes is a top bloke and really what he has done at Everton is great on 800k net spend a season. That shows he will work with players and he will work with an academy. I like the appointment. If Jose was the only other option I'm fecking thrilled it's Moyes.
He handpicked Moyes just like he handpicked our team to face City at the Etihad last season, he doesn't always make perfect decisions.

Lets not do what Liverpool fans did to Hodgson. He's the boss of our club, and our old boss (who we worship) recommended him. Anyone who lived through SAFs first few years will understand

One things for sure, all the nay sayers in this thread will turn on him so fast it will be insane.

Of course it's a cop out... you're saying that not agreeing with them means you don't care about the club because you don't trust them.

Why do so may people these days post like they've written a press release?
I hope he doesn't wear that fookin tracksuit and trainers on the touchline.
38 trophies in 26 years.
Its safe to say he got far more right than wrong in his time.

It doesn't help to be critical without any substance either. Most important thing right now is patience. There will be things we won't like or it might just turn out fine. It doesn't change the fact that we are here to support the club.He handpicked Moyes just like he handpicked our team to face City at the Etihad last season, he doesn't always make perfect decisions.
Bolded the key part. People need to think and not just jump to conclusions
I'm generally pissed at the way the board has taken the appointment. Might stay away for a bit. Then you have opposition fans on wums. We really don't need that right now.
