So? Good, Fergie's still a part of the club.
Mata | Mourinho says it's just a Mata of time
- Thread starter Suedesi
- Start date

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?!

Why do you even care? We're not winning the title this season.I'm listening..
He's taking the prudent long term view. Like his mentor, it's all about 10 year plans.
It doesn't look good for Moyes if he needs Fergie to sign the players for him. Its just another story for the media to rip him apart with.
All speculation though.
Mata wants to leave, chelsea seem to want to sell. I know its more complicated then this but you want find easier circumstances then this
I am just making a prediction on what some parts of the media will point towards. And they will
It will become a topic of discussion if/when the deal is completed
I'd imagine he'd be busy training and what not.
It looks good for the club that we still have a Sir Alex Ferguson to use. The media shit on anything we do, good or bad, anyway.
Look at Valencia flying high in 6th
I think he wants to know how you know this.
In before the edit.
Look at Valencia flying high in 5th
I'm still such a bastard.
I hope the media dont spin it like that, but I guess it would be preferable to Abramovich announcing his new managerial dream team of Gill and SAF as CEO and DOF at Chelsea.
No problemo.
Thanks man.
Feel free to return the favour if you ever catch one of mine. I'd expect, nay, demand it.
I just don't see it being good that retired former manager has a hand in top transfer deals. They were having a go at his influence by attending matches...this takes the biscuit!
But we really don't know what's happening so its harsh to judge.
Ive been informed he's our new director of football (see twatter thread) so id expect so !!!
I just don't see it being bad either. If you're going to ask a former manager to do anything, it's as good a reason as any, and a good a manager as any.
Fair enough if Wigan asked Martinez, but we're talking about a retired manager who's still involved with the club.
For me it would be a bad thing for David Moyes.
Many have said Fergie still has actual influence on the side and over Moyes and obviously this would prove them correct. He would essentially be doing the job of a director of football on this deal.
The beautiful thing about this is we can agree to disagree, and I disagree strongly.
Have to agree. Surely it shows that we need the lure of Sir Alex because David Moyes isn't able to attract the players we're looking at alone.
Sure that's a really black and white view, but I can't paint a picture where Sir Alex having a hand in transfer deals is a good thing for the current manager.
If the United job is too big for one man to be doing now and our CEO (or vice chairman, or whatever he is called) isn't a football man, I don't see the problem or having a sort of director of football. Especially if it's Fergie and it's about doing what the manager wants rather than forcing players on him.
Completely agree with this.
Since when did United fans give two fecks what the media think?
The Caf went really slow for a second and I got a little excited for a moment.
I can't see how anyone could deny it undermines Moyes. One bit of good news in months and, lo and behold, it's SAF wot done it! Thanks Moyes, you can get back to losing us matches now, that's all you're good for.
Moyes needs this win.
Moyes needs this win.
Seriously?!
If it undermines anyone, it's Woodward. Not Moyes.

Aye, I think there's a lot in it but they're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't. Imagine if they were pig headed enough to try and do it without using Fergie and Gill's special touch. They'd be blasted for it.
At the end of the day, there are no rules to Woodward's job. Being "assisted by your predecessor" isn't any sort of crime or stick to beat him with. Gill is still on board as a Director for that exact reason.
This.
Can you clear up the rumours about yourself?
You said you had agreed to join Utd, but your agent has denied.
We're yet to make a formal bid yet so this will drag on whatever the situation is.
I just want to know who the sky sources are. If its just ballbag then I'm giving up today and preparing for a deadline day deal for Leon Osman.

Moyes won't be undermined as long as Fergie stays away from the training pitch and allows the manager to stamp his own authority on the squad.
Him too. But who even gives a feck about him anyway? Apart from marketing managers at blue chip companies.
Second Golfclap of the day from me.
It all seems to have gone quiet. Surely we aren't low balling on this one?
He needs a win that's his, if Fergie is the reason for this deal happening then it will be common knowledge throughout the game, trying to pretend Moyes made it happen if eh didn't wont help him, getting Mata into the team and winning some matches is what will help him.
Do people still think this is funny?
Anyone saying Leon Osman from now on should be banned IMHO!
Because why would he post it there and tell people not mention it anywhere else if he really didn't want it getting out?
What did Baz say about PSG? All of you stop being so cryptic about it!
That's true. If SAF did it then it will get out there and it is fair enough people know about it. I guess I am saying I hope it turns out SAF had nothing to do with this and Moyes gets the credit for this himself - and deservedly - because he needs it.
