I'm sure the management have known this for a while. The Glazers have shown they no mugs, and they would've definitely thought through any and all choices.
 
And you know this...how, exactly? Maybe when he met Guardiola they discussed it but Guardiola was more interested in the Bayern job. He says he talks to Mourinho all the time so maybe they discussed it but Mourinho thinks that Chelsea and London feel like home to him. Maybe he talked to Heynckes but he wants to retire.
The same reason we know Moyes is nailed on for the job.

The exact opposite has been reported by the same news sources that broke Fergie's retirement before the announcement, Mourinho was not in the running and has not been contacted.
 
Jesus Christ people, calm down.

We're losing the greatest manager in the history of Manchester United, in the history of English football, and in the history of the game itself. It's not a good day for the club, it's bloody terrible. It's natural to be upset, angry, worried, nervous. I am all of those things.

Moyes wouldn't be my first choice as a manager to take this club forward, but then again I'm sure plenty on here wouldn't have had Sir Alex as there first choice 26 years ago.

This club is what it is today because of the truest we gave Sir Alex Ferguson. If we jumped the gun and fired him, we would be a totally different club. Sir Alex has done wonders for this club and we will miss him very much.

However. He rates Moyes, he always has. It's obvious he sees something in him that screams 'Manchester United'. And personally, I trust Sir Alex more then anyone on here on the future of this club.

If Moyes does indeed take the reign at Old Trafford, I'll do nothing but get behind the new boss, and afford him the time and patience needed.

We are not Liverpool, Chelsea, or Manchester City. We don't bow out when the chips are down, we don't make knee jerk decisions that could wreck the club. This won't have been done in a hurry, and I'm sure we'll make the right decision.

Yes! We're Man utd, we don't spend massive money, we don't make knee jerk decisions, we don't lose our marbles, we believe, we don't turn off the TV when a decision goes against us in a ... oh never mind.

I was going to bump the Believe thread today, someone do it, we need it right now.
 
The transfer market is my main concern. Does Moyes have the same influence as SAF or Mourinho with big names? Obviously not at the moment.

Ronaldo is now completely out of the question, but would RVP have chosen Moyes over City?

I think its fair to say we wont be signing any 'big names' this Summer. It'd be to much of a risk for those kind of players to join a club with such an unproven manager, especially if they have offers from elsewhere. If Moyes is succesful, then obviously things will change, but for now, I think its gonna be very difficult.

You are in my top 5 favorite posters. :lol:
 
Moyes is well respected but i don't get the logic behind hiring him. He hasn't won anything and has no experience in Europe, even his brand of football isn't that great.

We know he can do very well on a tight budget and that's admirable, he know the english game and culture so adjusting to the premier league won't be a problem, but is that what it takes to be a united manager these days?

It won't be the end of the world if it happens and he'll have my full support, but we can do better.

But players are willing to go to the likes of Madrid and Chelsea, and those clubs change managers almost every other year. United will still have a massive appeal for any player. We're still the biggest club in England even without SAF.
 
People can say whatever they want but knowing Moyes will take over feels extremely underwhelming and dissapointing.

Could not agree more, underwhelming being the operative word. Also smalltime. He is about as confidence boosting as a bowl of milquetoast. I am so disappointed we did not go after a top European manager I am already beginning to hate Moyes. Fair? No. Do I give a shit? No.
 
I'm relatively calm now. Seems like the likes of Maulensteen, Phelan and rest of our coaching staff is staying.

The likes of Chelsea, Madrid and City offer ridiculous wages.

We only need about two central midfielders and maybe a winger, other than that our squad is excellent. I'm sure Moyes will be able to find two CM better than Giggsy on his last legs, the centre-back Phil Jones or the unfit Anderson. A player like Bale, which we may try to sign, would be coming to United anyway (to be exact: his decision to come wouldn't be based on Fergie being our manager), no matter if we appoint Moyes or Mourinho. Getting such a deal through with Levy on the other side of the negotiation table is another matter.

Success in European competition is so crucial in attracting players and earning £££; I'm completely baffled by this decision (if it happens)

David Moyes is the new manager of Manchester United.

The Everton boss has agreed to move to Old Trafford and will join the club at the end of the season.

Moyes' future has been in doubt for several months, after his refusal to sign a new deal on Merseyside and, following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, the Red Devils have acted quickly to land the former Preston chief.

The Scot has been at Goodison Park for 11 years but has only an FA Cup runners-up medal, from 2009, to his name and has no experience in the Champions League proper.

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho had been stongly linked to the post but it appears the board at Old Trafford have decided the 50-year-old former Celtic defender is the right man to lead the club forward.

We haven't really gone for those sort of players in the past though. I'm not saying it won't have an effect - but I don't think it will mean that everyone will tell us to feck off.
 
So do United.

Yep. I'm not really sure where this myth is coming from, but from reading several forums it is always suggested we're not paying top dollars. We are. We will be spending around £180m in wages alone this season. This is toppled by only a handful of clubs around, so we can definitely compete, even at the high end. Obviously we have a wage structure in place as most clubs, but if we don't pay a player what he demands it's on our own terms, not because we can't afford it.
 
I'm listening to Talksport now. They are such muppets.

Their news headlines announce Moyes as the new manager every half hour - as does their web site - but then go back to the main show where they are speculating as to who will take over!!!

I never listen to them but only posted it because they're reasonably mainstream media.
 
Until its confirmed by United i'm not going to believe a word the media says. But it does seem that its Moyes. But there's time for a last minute game changer!

You do have to wonder if this is true. It's such a frequent thing to hear that a player has chosen to come to Man Utd to be able to work with Sir Alex, everything else aside you certainly won't hear players saying the same about Moyes anytime soon.
 
Piss off Cina, big deal I lost the plot before. I'm not the manager am I? We've all said stupid things on here.
 
The idea that we'll not attract high calibre players at Manchester United due to Moyes is such a fecking ridiculous idea. We're one of the biggest clubs in the world with loads of money. Ofcourse top class players would want to join us.
 
Since it is all doom and gloom around the possible appointment of David Moyes, I am wondering why our fans think that we would be interested in hiring him?

What would be the logic behind this decision? Is there any, or is our club being run by a bunch of morons that know less about football than we do?
 
Also I have to say I wouldn't have minded a U turn the day Fergie retires. I hoped the day wouldnt come so quck but one day I guess it had to come and that day I would have preferred a Mou or Klopp with their team that they worked with rather than hiring someone like Moyes and keep the likes of Phelan. But well turns out it will be exactly that. I hope it will work
Also I hoped when we hire.someone big for the job he would bring.one or.2 players with him as Mou has done in the past. With Evertons players it's more like no thanks stay there
 
I'd lump on Moyes to get it now. 1-5. 20 percent profit.
