Horrible boss
I reckon Jason Sudeikis did a better job managing Spurs in that NBC commercial than Moyes has done at United.
Dear Polo & all at Red Carpet.net,
We're trying our very best for you, the fans. I am sure that we will turn things around very soon, thanks to your wonderful support and...oh, who the feck am I kidding? PS Stop photoshopping me, you bastards.
Love,

No mention of luck. I think it isn't genuine, someone has likely fooled you by impersonating Dave.......
David if your reading this your a nice guy and I like you, but this just isnt working out and people will respect you more if you acknowledge it yourself and resign, plenty of good managers have been put in charge of teams it just didnt happen for them, AVB at Chelsea and Rafa at Inter for example, your tactics, coaching staff, and style of play just doesnt fit in here, Im sure your under immense pressure and dont want to be seen as a quitter, it simply, isnt going to happen for you here and I think at the end of the season it would be best for all parties involved if you part company and start a new chapter in your managerial carear elsewhere, its bad at the moment and the match day fans have been great and very patient with you cause they like you and want this to work just as much as I do, but if this continues I can see this ending badly for you. You are driving towards the edge of a cliff at the moment
In our last two big games against Olympiakos and Liverpool, we had 2 shots on target the whole game, that simply is not good enough, our form is at an all time low and we seem to be getting worse every game, the players are not reacting to your tactics very well and our football is dreadful to watch, Im sure the board have your backing and your very lucky to be in charge of a club as classy as Man Utd because they will have all the patience in the world with you, If you do intend on staying it would be best if you came out and told us that their will be big changes at the club, your capture (or SAF/Gills) capture of Juan Mata and Rooneys unexpected contract renewal have been the only positives from this season, You seem to be looking to bring in some really good players aswell which is good too, We as the fans are willing to forget this season and get behind you IF there are big changes in the performances next season and not anything like what we are seeing at the moment, if this requires getting the squad back in training early after the World Cup and doing double sessions in the off season to implement your style then so be it, because the players dont seem to know themselves how to play the Moyes way.
The service to RVP has been attrocious under you and the understanding with Rooney just isnt there at all like it was last season when they played together, RVP is one of the best strikers in the world and we cannot even play in our most dangerous asset because of your obsession with getting to the byline and crossing, the Fulham game at home this season I hope you acknowledge as one of the worst managerial performances of all time, you camp in your oppenents half for the whole game and get 82% possesion and all you can string together is 85 unsuccesful crosses, you have tried to change your philosophy slightly over the last few games but we both know it just isnt working for you. In conclusion if you do intend on sticking around next season please do yourself a favour and resign before this goes from bad to worse, If by October we see no improvement it could really get ugly for you at Old Trafford, Im sure you want that big juicy compensation bonus in your contract so I dont expect youll be resigning anyway, but if you can come to some mutual agreement with the Glazers where you get your compensation and we arent completely broke while we search for a new manager that would be great.
We basically lost Ferdinand, Vidic, Scholes, Giggs, Nani and RVP for this year, so yes, they had a better squad. And you thought we were good to watch last year under Fergie?Did you honestly think Chelsea had a better squad than ours back in May 2013? Fast forward 9 months and the difference is ALL down to the 2 managers, Moyes has even spent more than Mourinho.
Fixed!Dear Polo & all at Red Carpet.net,
We're trying our very best for you, the fans (even my best isn't enough). I am sure that we will turn things around very soon (give me a few years so I can rebuild a team), thanks to your wonderful support (I know you support the club through thick and thin and I am giving you the thin..) and...oh, who the feck am I kidding? PS keep photoshopping me, you've done a good job.
Love,

......
I'm disappointed I've yet to see Phil Jones shagging a lion.
The second gif, Rooney is about 20 foot away from him and looking straight at him. Is he ignoring instructions or something to cause Moyes frustrated expression?
It's easy to judge the performance of the team and the players without trying to figure out WHY they're playing like this.
We basically lost Ferdinand, Vidic, Scholes, Giggs, Nani and RVP for this year, so yes, they had a better squad. And you thought we were good to watch last year under Fergie?
We will go out against olympiakos no doubt, we still have to play city, away to Newcastle, everton, Southampton and west ham. The only bonus is that 7th won't get you Europa league. I cannot believe that the club are not looking at what is transpiring on the pitch repetitively and are not concerned. I don't think it makes sense to sack him until CL elimination is confirmed, but immediately after that, there is no reason not to, the rest of the season is a dead rubber.

Good point on the backroom staff - major problem - would Rene/Mike etc come back temporarily I wonder...
Giggs?I don't think they would want to work under him, honestly
Not even the players would want to play under him
Giggs?
Moyes spent $65M but Mata only arrived in the winter session and has not been played in his best position, I agree, but how would you handle Mata, Rooney and RVP? And Fellaini I've hardly seen play.Did I say anything about being good to watch? The fact is Sir Alex managed the same group of players to run away with the title, Moyes, having spent 65m to add HIS players, have us sitting in 7th.
Mourinho has managed to make Terry rediscover his old self and become a key player after being written off last season, Moyes has managed to turn most of our world class players shit, except Rooney who basically runs the team.
And you blame Moyes for that?I don't think anyone is expecting this squad to be a world beater, but we do expect it to be in the top 4 while playing good football.
Moyes spent $65M but Mata only arrived in the winter session and has not been played in his best position, I agree, but how would you handle Mata, Rooney and RVP? And Fellaini I've hardly seen play.
These players are earning in a week, more than most of us make in 10 years. Maureen shouldn't have to wave a magic wand to bring Terry alive. And Moyes isn't responsible for the effort and fighting spirit of the players on the pitch. $250,000 a week would be motivation for me baby. Yes, he's responsible for tactics but in the long run it's that through ball, that one touch passing, those accurate crosses, the confident interplay between the players, that fighting spirit, that has been our modus operandi for decades.
When you get passed Rooney, RVP, Mata, De Gea, Januzaj.....who else do you want in the team every week? Raphael maybe? Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic have lost their pace; Jones, Smalling, Evans, are OK but are they real MUQ. Maybe Smalling. I thought Chica was the new Denis Law, great goal poacher, but he rarely plays. If Welbeck plays, then one of Rooney or RVP has to sit out. He's not an Andy Cole.
Anyhow, we deserve to be where we are right now with the squad we have IMHO. We need drastic changes for next year and I hope the United backroom have it all together. I can't see any manager turning the present squad into a World Beater.

Yes I do.And you blame Moyes for that?
And you blame Moyes for that?
Our squad is 7th at best? good god. Is he/she on WUM or what?
That's some heavy stuff he's smoking there (cough...glue?...cough)
If true-the most telling thing for me in the piece is the reported rumblings amongst commercial partners about being unhappy being linked with a losing team. Fans and sponsors in developing markets have no loyalty to United-and will take their money elsewhere if the team is in decline. This is something the Glazers understand-and will likely grease the skids for Moyes.A glimmer of hope finally?

David Moyes on the Precipice at Manchester United as Players and Supporters Lose Faith
By Nick Howson March 17, 2014
David Moyes' future as Manchester United manager is growing increasingly bleak after evidence of supporters turning on the Scot following the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool was accentuated by reports of a major falling-out with senior players at Old Trafford.
United won the title by 11 points ahead of Manchester City last term in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season but currently sit seventh and face their lowest top flight finish for 24 years and not qualifying for European competition for the first time since 1981, following a ninth Premier League defeat of the campaign.
Moyes was handed a six-year contract upon being appointed as successor to Ferguson but after another abject display in defeat to Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool, he faces strong questions over his capability to lead the club beyond the end of the current term.
Problems at United had initially been confined to performances on the pitch, particularly at home where they have won just six times in 14 league games, but club fanzine Red Issue has revealed that a training ground bust-up with player-coach Ryan Giggs before the game against Liverpool is jeopardising Moyes' future.
"Phil Neville was sent to ask Giggs why he hadn't attended a recent coaches meeting," the issue read. "The reply that it was 'pointless, as Moyes doesn't listen' did not go down well. Things appear to have improved slightly between them since, however
"Rio's obvious problems with the manager partly stem from his aggravating reference in training to 'what Jagielka would do' in similar situations.
"Moyes did not like being asked 'how does what Jagielka would do have anything to do with how United do things?' All in all, the verdict on Moyes at Carrington seems increasingly to be that he is clueless.
"A couple of weeks ago Moyes had them working on some defensive routine for over two hours. Apparently Ryan more or less stormed off, arms waving about in frustration, muttering words to the effort of 'two hours' defensive practice! This is Man United for f**k's sake.'"
Giggs was appointed to Moyes' backroom team alongside former United defender Phil Neville, who joined from Everton after retirement. However the legendary winger has played just 81 minutes since the first week of January and was left out of the squad to face Liverpool.
Rio Ferdinand's current contract expires at the end of the season but the club are yet to offer an extension, with the injury-ravaged 35 year old having started just eight league games.
After being urged to support Moyes in his debut season by the departing Ferguson, the United following is starting to turn on the 50-year-old with an online poll on leading club forum RedCafe.net seeing 92% vote in favour of the ex-Everton boss being sacked at the end of the season.
'United We Stand' editor Andy Mitten added: "The players clearly were not happy in the dressing room after the [Liverpool] game from what I've been told. It is not a happy camp.
"Manchester United fans expected a transition but they did not expect it to be so bad and be so far off the pace and for performances to be so bad.
"The mood over the last month has changed. What made it change was the defeat in Greece [to Olympiakos] three weeks ago. There were a lot of supporters who said this is a joke, this isn't good enough.
"The mood has definitely swung against David Moyes. Most United fans would like to see David Moyes do well but it's a dwindling support and most people have had enough. The breaking point has been reached over the last couple of weeks."
Final chance
The final chance for United to claim solace from a season in which they are expected to go without silverware for the first time since the 2004/05 campaign comes in the form of the Champions League last 16 second leg against Olympiakos where Moyes' side must overcome a two-goal deficit to reach the last eight.
In the face of criticism from the United fans, Moyes has called upon supporters to inspire the club to a second leg turnaround against the Greek champions.
"The fans were fantastic and deserve great credit for the way they supported the team today," Moyes said after the Liverpool match. "If they give us that support on Wednesday night, it will give us a chance of getting through in the Champions League.
"The players are well aware of what it means on Wednesday and what we have got to do. We've got something to go for so hopefully we can do that."
Speaking to manutd.com, he added: "The players are capable of turning it around. We're all desperate to put things right and make sure we play better to give the supporters here something to shout about."
Following the loss to Liverpool on Sunday United's official Facebook page was 'unliked' by 450,000 people - after executive vice chairman Ed Woodward had stressed the importance of social media engagement upon announcing the club's quarterly financial figures in February.
