Moyes So Far!

None. I don't know why people keep on dreaming about Kroos, for instance. The funny thing is there's only one thing that will get first class players to join United. That won't be Moyes, it will be the wages, like the wages claimed we're offering Kroos. And thus, we because Chelsea and City - all while appointing a manager who is supposed to keep us closer to the Fergie era and prevent us becoming like those two. It's laughable. If we're going to become them, might as well have signed a suitable manager.

Yup, with Moyes around no world class players would want to come over. If they do come over it's because of the huge wages we have to throw at them.How does the board not see that????
 
I blame Bobby Charlton, his hatred for Mourinho is bordering on personal level. He clearly can't see what's fecking obviously beneficial for the long term continuation of success.

I can understand if he chooses Ancelotti ahead of Mourinho, but fecking david moyes... blimey

I blame the board for allowing SAF to have a say on this. SAF was in no position to take this decision. He's been there for more then 2 decades and he had employed nearly everyone there. A person in that situation would try to choose someone who wouldnt rock the boat too much and make everyone redundant rather then what's in the club's best interest.
 
I wonder who the club see as being valuable assets that they won't let go even if they want out?

How many unhappy players with their agents starting to make noises would it take before they decide you can replace 20 players an it's easier to replace the manager.

The club has no control over that sadly. SAF is gone, SBC is just a token mascot

Glazers are not football man, neither is ed (unless Moyes is stupid enough to sell RvP for 1M, I don't think anyone can stop him from letting everyone go)

It's that bad

Let's face it, Mourinho would nick it if SAF has his ways, the amount of respect both of them have is tremendous.

That means nothing. We are talking about work here and not best buddies.

Honestly I doubt if Mourinho would be happy having a better man breathing at his neck (SAF as director). His ego would surely clash with that of SAF.

I guess we will never know, but one thing I notice, Mourinho kinda lost his drive at Chelsea, he doesn't look that much passionate / interested as before.

We will never know I guess...

Fingers Crossed Roman sack him, and if we didn't offer him everything to manage...

EDIT: Buddies is what gets Moyes the job. That or Scottishness
 
Would Moyes resign? I have read that he is a man of big ego and totally convinced of himself. But surely, he too realises that he isn't doing a good job. At the same time, he has tremendous respect for the club. So would he do the honourable thing and resign?

No, hes got that Scottish fighter mentality to him, same as Sir Alex in that lone regard, the only way he'll go is by being relieved of his duty, otherwise he'd continue to bust his hump, kicking and screaming to the bitter end, doubtful walking away is even an option in his head.

I know it seems absurd but it definately because he is Scottish. The whole section in Fergie's book explaining why he chose Moyes goes on about why Scots make great managers. I think Sir Alex hoped Moyes was a younger version of himself and he and Sir Bobby are just too stubborn to admit they're wrong.
 
Ferguson would tell the players he'd sooner die than watch the Scousers win the championship. He would tell them about the history of the club and all the work they've done to make them the very best ever in Britain.

Those players would be at the top of their game, since we got 89 points last season and now with the emergence of Januzaj and £70m to spend in the window, I think we could have gotten the 90 points to win it.

He probably would have tried to lure Thiago and if that failed gone for Strootman. He would have pounced on De Rossi when he was willing to listen to offers instead of doing a Moyes and waiting until the point where he wasn't willing to listen to offers and then bid (according to Rudi Garcia)! Had Cristiano genuinely had doubts as opposed to using that to get a new contract, he would have signed him with the money he had!

I think it's fair to assume had Ferguson been here we would at the least still be in the title race.
Moyes probably shows re-runs of the Liverpool games to prove to our players how much better Liverpool are than them.
 
With 99 % of the fans staunchly against him and a team that clearly doesn't want to play for him, all logic says the club has to act.

Unfortunately, this club isn't run on logic.

But please United, this is enough.
 
And amazingly, I still don't see us sacking him :lol:

You just know he'll get another season.
Then they might have empty stadium for home games. The fans should all turn up for the Norwich game then as soon as the game kicks off, walk out. See if that gets the board to sit up and notice. It's on TV so would get plenty of coverage.
 
Guys, just wondering. If we lose to Bayern in the cl and the title to atletico, can I blame it on moyes? It seems to be the thing to do at the moment. Maybe marca can make a poll then and we can vote for him to get fired and that will only increase his chances of leaving.

You can try make one in your forum to see if they would want him to succeed Ancelloti

At least theyll get the laugh
 
These two in particular are galling.

This joke has to go. Today. That he has not gone yet is shameful.
Fergie as the lad says would have deflected the blame away from them somehow, no matter how crazy. Moyes just throws the players under the bus. I am seriously annoyed about Danny.
 
Believe it or not, when winning was normal and we're on autopilot, I opened RAWK goes on a meltdown more than any other thread... I don't even have a peek at there lately :(

Screw you Moyo!
Fergie retiring and moyes coming to united seems to have caused a great disturbance and unbalance in the force. The prophecy speaks of a chosen one that will save you. Oh wait, never mind :p
 
I genuinely believe he will be out very soon.

Its gone too far and what may push him is the amount of players who actively want to go. Woodward knows he has to rebuild but does that involve turnover of approx 8 players? Don't think so. They cant afford that. Lesser of two evils (financially) is to placate the players and bin the Gollum.

Paying off the manager is cheaper.....and we all know what drives the glazers.

You vulture of human misery! this is karmic justice for us all :mad:
 
I often wonder how the Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime who were delighted with his appointment (and berated the so called 'muppets' from their high keyboard warrior horses with crap like 'if his name ended with -inho you all would bleh blah bloh') feel now about their wonderful insight.
 
I think yesterday really broke his heart

Rooney's playing despite:
1. Being dogshite
2. Returning from injury
3. Not fully fit
4. Running around like a headless chicken roaming to midfield when he's the bloody lone striker
5. He's been loyal, and never complain regardless where he plays
6. I got a feeling last year Madrid's game was due to SAF finally promises him something, only for it to shatter comes Moyes.

I feel for him, he probably has had enough, added to the uncertainty of having Moyo, probably a shit dressing room atmosphere, and to think that they paid 300k / week for that kind of performance

let's hunt them down, I have a beef to settle with some of them. And the worse thing is that they are still playing the houllier than thou card, claiming they're somewhat more patience than us

Good post Kevin how high is your ivory tower? If Moyes was good enough for Fergie (who many times proved us wrong) then who was I or many other thousands to give Moyes a chance and our full backing? Maybe you should pick then next manager or even better you should just be the manager!
 
Manchester United are rebuilding, says manager David Moyes
Manchester United boss David Moyes says the club are "rebuilding" after a 2-0 Premier League defeat to Everton.

United's 11th Premier League defeat of the campaign means it is mathematically impossible for them to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Last season's champions are seventh in the table with four games left.

"I think that everybody knows we are on track to make changes and do some different things," said Moyes. "We are rebuilding."

He added: "I understand it has not been good, I recognise it has not been good and it needs to be better."

The defeat marked a disappointing return to Goodison Park for Moyes - who spent 11 years at Everton's manager.

He was given a mixed reception by the Everton fans.

"I did not enjoy the result that's for sure," Moyes told BBC Radio 5 live.

"I've got to say I was so focused on my own job that I did not take anything in. I couldn't tell you if it was a good one (reception) or a bad one."

Moyes was pleased with elements of his side's performance.

"We certainly didn't deserve to go into the break 2-0 down," he said.

"We gave away two terrible goals but prior to that we passed the ball brilliantly well.

"What we couldn't do is make enough chances but we had a great control and we got done by two stupid decisions.

"We didn't have a final through pass at times. That was the disappointing part - that we just couldn't do that in the final third, but I couldn't fault how we played because we kept the ball incredibly well."

Moyes praised his former side, adding: "Credit to Everton - they defended deep and they hit us on the counter attack."

 
On the general point of wanting him out(even replaced by a popular choice like Van Gaal) I seem to be in agreement with the majority(for once).

The criticism however, is once again riddled with arrant nonsense. He picked everyone's favorite team yesterday. All of our most 'technical players' were on pitch, and we were trying to pass the ball through the fecking middle, just like most people on here were craving for. All the mistreated fan favorites were involved as well.

And, without a hint of irony, the main complaint apparently, is that we were 'too predictable'. The mind boggles.
 
So why is our team so poorly motivated? Why are they no longer fighting until the end like they did under Fergie? There are countless times in the past when United should have dropped points, only to get a late goal. That wasn't luck, that was fighting until the end even after the opposition had switched off. Simply put; the players have no drive. And I can't help but think that it's because the atmosphere in the dressing room is at an all time low. And this is what I think has happened;

Let's think back to the last few seasons for these players under Fergie, and what happened whenever they had a poor performance. Now, I'm not going to speculate on what went on behind closed doors, because none of us know. Fergie may have given them a pat on the back and told them that everything was going to be all right, or he could have dragged them into the steel cage and smashed their faces in with a folding chair. What we do know, however, is what he said to the press.

Whenever United played poorly under Fergie, he would come out and draw attention to himself. He would blame the ref, or the linesman, or the ballboys, or a stray cat, or his morning bowl of porridge. He would rant and rave until the focus was on him, and no longer on the poor performance from his players. He was willing to do anything to protect them from bad press. Compare that to Moyes, whose first response to a poor performance is to tell the press that the team aren't good enough and that they are lacking enough world class talent. I don't care how much these players are being paid; if the man who is meant to be leading you is more than happy to throw you to the wolves at the first sign of failure, then you're unlikely to trust that man enough to follow him.

Moyes' problem with being defensive isn't just to do with his tactics on the ptich. He can bring in the players that he needs to suit his defensive style of play, but that doesn't get rid of the motivation problem. Because he's also defensive with his tactics in interviews, how long is it going to be before he alienates his new crop of players when we hit a rough spell?

I've given Moyes every chance, but unless we play blindingly well until the end of the season I don't see any signs that things are going to be better.
