fecked up there son! lol
The feck are you on about Irscone?
I just find the reasoning for appointing him to be odd. From the outside it looks like an insane move. I am sure that him being Scottish curries him favour with important board members.............like SAF.
Yep exactly like when United had Fergie and Chelsea had the rookie RDM and Hazard obviously went to the senior man.....
I really doubt that. Fans are fickle.
We've had Giggs being booed. Then when CQ returned and we began transitioning to 4-3-3 we had "attack, attack" and "4-4-2" chants throughout matches. That was to somebody who at that point was already our most successful manager of all time. If David Moyes comes in, he'll be booed out the building if he doesn't give us instant success.
If you are taking it personally maybe you should take a long hard look at why you are overreacting. He was going to retire sooner than later it's not the end of Utd, nobody's died and we won't make the mistakes in appointing another Wilf McGuiness.
Grow up!

You can't genuinely believe that?
Higher than Everton. But that's the difference between a mediocre and a great manager. The former only perform to their standard, the latter outperform their level. For trophies of teams overperforming see the numerous smaller clubs who have won the FA Cup/League Cup/Europa League against the odds.
I'm not overreacting. I just don't want Moyes at the club, like a lot of other people. Accept it and stop telling me what I can and cannot say about a possible future manager.
It is relevant though as it shows that if you take a good manager and give him a team with good foundations, a promising squad with youngsters and a bit of money, then they can be a success.
The players go to Chelsea because of the money, nothing to do with the manager. Mourinho won't think that's the reason.
Yeah I agree, he'll need to start fast or I can see the fans turning on him

What utter nonsense. By that criteria we should appoint Strachan,McCleish or a couple of others as they've won more than Moyes and have European experience

Rubbish. Do you think the Glazers give a feck which flavour of British Moyes is?
My opinion of this board has never been so low. And I remember it from May last year.
His recent finishes have been 4th, 11th, 6th, 5th, 5th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 6th. With a net spend in the last 5 years of about £5m. That's not a noteworthy achievement? He's had to sell important players, balance the books, cope with Villa, Spurs, City, and even fecking Stoke splashing cash at various points and he's still been that consistent? I think he's done pretty damn well.
Gill said that Ferguson would be fully involved in who would succeed him, so presumably Moyes has Fergusons blessing. There is only one man who really knows what it's like to manage United, who knows the club inside and out and therefore knows what qualities are needed in his successor.
Fair enough, and I agree - it was the comment about the class of our supporters as a whole based on the behaviour of a minority in that last post that I didn't like.
Agreed. The great thing about this appointment is that IF it does work out and Moyes starts to win trophys, he's going to stay long term. And that's next to impossible to find nowadays. I really hope people give him a chance. He's not my first choice, but I do believe he has the tools to be successful here.
Moyes played the tactics according to the strengths of his squad. I'm sure he has the tactical knowledge to change the way his teams play when he has better players at his disposal.
The main gripe i've got with Moyes coming here is at this current moment in time if all managers were available none would turn United down, but if Moyes does a spectacularly shite job then will are pulling power of getting the top managers be the same as a team like Liverpools?
exactly
So the people moaning about how Everton play and their tactics are wrong. I personally wouldn't mind Moyes. There's always concerns ie: will he be able to attract the players? But we're Manchester United. First and foremost. In addition to that, you only have to look at Dortmund to know you don't have to have a massive name (club/coach) to get bring the right players in.
Is your tagline supposed to be funny? You're being a tad childish. Just because people don't want Moyes doesn't mean they have to support someone else. 90% of all fans want a different manager. Don't be a weirdo
mancester united is a MUCH bigger club than Liverpool, it will always attract top managers..
I don't believe it's because he is Scottish, but his character, he is loyal and hard working, I can imagine him at reserve games watching the youngsters playing. Can't imagine Jose doing that. Also won't allow indiscipline, which is a good thing. I still remember Jose and him insulting ambulance service etc. when Cech got injured at Reading. He has a really ugly side when it suits.
First of all you might wanna have a look at where Everton were finishing before Moyes.
That bit in bold is a crock of shit if ever I've seen. Portsmouth didn't win the FA Cup against the odds, they were given a virtual free run to the final only beating us through sheer insane luck. Have a look at the teams they drew. And they spent big to build that team, look at the club now.
Birmingham won the league cup and went down....and who are these teams who have won the Europa league "against the odds"?
Looking forward to the Moyes/Phelan combo...exciting times ahead!!!
Maybe you missed this. Everton are going for their fifth top-eight finish in a row, whereas a Premier League table of net transfer spend over that period would put them fourth from bottom.
Do you think Everton fans would rather be in Birmingham or Portsmouth's shoes having won a cup but getting relegated. The league positions say a lot more than winning a cup.

Exactly, the most expensive players aren't always the right ones. Dortmund prove that, Real Madrid don't.
Modern players are pragmatic to a fault. Pay them enough money, and you'll hear them fake enthusiasm for Moyes' "project" etc etc. And, if they're not entirely stupid, they'll have noticed Mourinho's habit of "loving" his players, former players & clubs only so long as things went his way; otherwise, he'll push them into the path of incoming traffic - anything but blame himself or take criticism. Who wants to hear JM describe SAF or Sir Bobby as old "men" or some such if either of our legends criticises José? I fecking don't...
Nail on the fecking head.
Also hasn't Jose left just about every dressing room he's managed in disarray.
So maybe we should be signing McLaren, McLeish, Hodgson... Some league cups and Europa League finals between them!
