Its the usual suspects who would always rather a Portuguese player than a British or Irish player that are so set against Moyes. He's just not a hipster choice.

It's got feck all to do with being a 'hipster'. If anything, the 'hipster' choice is the guy who's never won a major trophy and never managed a team in the Champions League.

That's the same attitude that would have hounded Fergie out of United back in the 80s. He was hardly Gods gift to football back then.

The hipsters can feck off and follow Mourihno to Chelsea for all I care. Good riddance.

Pft, can't even spell his name right, you just wouldn't understand.

What the feck has it got to do with hipsters? People just aren't excited by Moyes, because it's a bloody boring appointment if it happens.

We're the biggest club in world football and we've gone from being managed by the greatest manager ever to potentially David bloody Moyes.

If Moyes won the league next year with tumescent dogshit football like we've seen at some points this season, how would you feel? Still disappointed at the appointment? Happy to just be winning?
 
You know what's really annoying? If this was a long-term plan, why the feck couldn't he have just let us win that bloody game at OT last season!? :mad:

If its Moyes then it's probably been in place for a long while. There is a reason why he has only been signing one year long contracts for a while now.

Hindsight is 20/20 so they say, but I think the writing has been on the wall for a while. Naming the stand, erecting the statue, Gill's departure; all are pointers but we didn't want to connect the dots. Fergie is a planner so you're probably right in your assessment but part of me wonders if all this talk of Moyes is a smokescreen and the actual appointment will be someone nobody expected?

Really? I think SAF's record was a lot more impressive that Moyes's, at least SAF had won things. Plus, we're not on the same position we were then. Instead of comapring us to Man Utd when SAF took over you should be comparing us to the likes of Bayern now. Did Bayern appoint a manger with no experience of success un the league or Europe? No, they went for Pep, a serial winner. Dismissing people who are making valid criticisms of Moyes's appointment as "hipsters" is a bit stupid.

You think Mourinho will be come here stress-free? If anything, he'll face more pressure because he is more high profile and hyped up as Fergie placement for years. Living up to it might be harder than we can imagine.

I think if Moyes was to get off to a rocky start he would be getting booed out of Old Trafford every week. Mourinho would be given more time and respect by the casual fan simply because he's won trophies wherever he's been, and is seen almost universally as a better manager.

Bayern have hired of Moyes' ilk in the past though. They have gone down both routes.

In hindsight, his reaction to going out to Real Madrid was an indication this was his last time as well.

Probably happy to be winning.

That's not the point though. Ferguson leaving was a chance for the club to go a new direction, modernise our game, bring in a forward thinking manager with fresh ideas, someone dynamic. Moyes is none of that. It's just a safe, let's not rock the boat too much appointment.

Fergie was one of the best managers in Britain when United appointed him. He had won 2 European trophies and topped the Old Firm. Moyes has won what exactly? Hipsters? What are you on about?

Butterfly effect for you: Moyes let us win the game last year -> We won No. 20 -> Fergie retired because he just wanna reach 20 -> Moyes took the reign last year -> RVP didn't sign -> We probably wouldn't win the league this year -> etc.

The David Johnson guy on twitter just said a few players have told him its Moyes... Not that it really matters at this stage.

Yup, looks like a near certainty at this point

If any chancer starts booing, it'll be embarrassing.

I said that at the time! And I got the reaction of ":lol: What why!?". It felt clear that his reaction was that of beyond injustice.

I don't always disapprove of David Moyes as a candidate to replace Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager...

...but when I do, it's because he's not a known match-fixer.

;)

I'm for that. Now. After a few pints I've drained in Fergie's honour. Bring on the drama: Roy Keane. The bitterness has been a smokescreen all along, as has his shite managerial skills. He's the one, the golden boy, Fergie's true heir. Or Phelan. Imagine this place.

Yeah, I said it at the time too apparently, a few people have said that I mentioned to them that it might be his last season but in all truth I'd forgotten that and was as shocked as anyone today.

:lol: He hasn't even started as our manager and has already directly cost us a title.:p

And also how extremely disappointed he was in the FA Cup.Specially the way he blamed it on Nani showed a man who wanted to win it one more time before the inevitable.

But at least none of us would ever have had to see that damn betting advert... over and over and over and over again.

Can someone photoshop "Moyes" on to this? I think he's a decent appointment, but he does not seem flash enough for many.

Sack the fecker. Even without being appointed has cost us a title, just imagine how worse it would be when he gets the job.
