I know you shouldn't discuss politics/religion and football on here, but just shocked at the Moyes sacking.

I know he's had a shocker of a season, but what happened to employer loyalty, is it too niave to think that still exists or hasd ever existed?
 
Im a Liverpool fan he's done us all a favour this season :evil:

In all serious tho, this makes MU no different to any others now. He needed time you can't turn round a team that isn't yours and rally them to play the way you want in 3/4s of a season. Should have been given more time, Fergusons first seasons MU finished 11th although he didn't adopt a title winning team.

Sad really, poor bloke was doomed before he started having to follow Fergusons legacy.
 
Hard to follow Fergie,, great players were getting old, young players are not good enough...
Cant feel sorry for Man U they have won plenty over the last two decades..
 
Moyes seems a really nice bloke but for me he was always just going to be an average manager because 10 years at Everton and he didn't win anything and now look at Everton now they have a decent manager, I didn't expect him to deliver at UTD anyway as once ordinary always ordinary I still believe SAF chose him to make himself look better...

What did surprise me is that UTD didn't put a proven winner in charge in the first place...but like Tom I am a Liverpool fan...so I was hoping Moyes was going to stay there forever! :D
 
Yes, poor bloke, £5,000,000 for 10 months work. I'll have some of that! Up the Palace, Pulis for manager of the year!
 
I thought he was on a 6 year x £4m a year deal. Hear she will probably walk away with a years salary as compensation [for not doing well].

Aside from the money I do feel for the guy. He was on a hiding to nothing really and I'm sure his career is important to him regardless of financial recompense.

I absolutely agree with tom. Shame really.

I am Newcastle fan so we always like to see MU doing bad but every manager needs a season and half to implement there style.
 
Following his sacking from Man Utd, David Moyes has wasted no time in getting a new job working for Sky.

He installs his first dish next Monday.

I heard he was standing as a UKIP candidate based on his record of staying out of Europe :D

Should have been given more time, that said football is a business with Shareholders, if the business looks to be heading downwards then swift decisions are needed.
When Fergie started it was all about football, that's the difference :(
 
Not into football at all, but I really do fail to see why a story about a football manager was headline news last night...was the first story.

Sure, its important to the club/fans etc, but its only a game, not a world changing event.

or is it?

Must agree, I couldn't care a jot.

However it seems to me like just rewards for so rapidly demolishing a top flight team.
 
Further to my admission that I am not into football, can someone explain why the manager is so important to the performance on the pitch?

I mean, if the players have the ability to work as a team, then that talent doesn't disappear just cos the manager has retired? So how come they can be so good (apparently) one season, then no good the following season...its the players on the pitch kicking the ball, not the manager. Have the players become sh!t and the manager is the scapegoat?

You make a good point and the majority of the players are very ordinary but the previous manager ruled by fear so the players seemed to perform better for him...not that I personally agree with that style of leadership.

Would love to see it the way he's turned Palace around but I think Rodgers has it in the bag.

Hope you're proved wrong Jimbo, but I fear you may be right.

Anyhow Kev, youre right Football is not a matter of life or death....
It's much more than that!
 
I didn't think when he did the deal he'd last a season which is sad. Lots of chat on the news saying he didn't have enough time etc which in a way is true, he's stopped into the shadow of a man who was there over 20 years.....it'll be a similar situation when Wenger departs. It was sad that supposed football experts are saying that in the modern day of football he'd had more than enough time to prove himself. It's madness!

Althought he did cost them £30 mil but we will never know what next season would have held for Moyes Man U.........and who's to say any other manager will get the team to perform as expected by the masses? Surely the players have a part to play in all this?
