I was dubious when Moyes was announced as manager due to his inexperience but after the Swansea game when SAF called for backing I along with everyone else in the ground was 100% behind him. However, now is proving my thoughts all along were right. Us fans need to stop blaming squad inherited and look at the manager.
1. This squad won the league by 11 points last year.
2. Hearing discontent from players regarding selection, training already.
3. Manager stated Ozil wasn't a player we needed.
4. Anyone with any knowledge of football could see Frllaini wasn't a Man U player, no technical ability whatsoever.
5. After games still speaks like he is manager of Everton eg low expectations, stating he had been in this situation before! No you haven't Moyes, Man Utd losing is a bit different to Everton and Preston.
6. Could any manager honestly say we would be in this same position with a 'proper experienced top level manager' eg Mourinho, Klopp, Ancelotti? I think not.

Job is to big for him and we need to buy the bullet ASAP and realise our mistake as it's difficult now to attract players, so imagine what it's going to be like when we miss Champions League!

moyes was a great manager at everton. every season we punched above our weight.even got a sniff of champions league on one occasion.
what's changed since he went to united
simple answer is he can't handle a club with the resources of united, possibly wary of the old timers.
moyes will have to rebuild united from scratch, get his own players in, just as he did at everton.
can united wait that long?

I agree pal, decent manager who worked wonders really with Everton but this job is too big for him and we can't afford to miss out on Champions league. I'm all for giving people time but he's the wrong man, which his comments, selections, signings are proving

A manager who has won nothing can't manage a team that has won everything. It just doesn't make any sense. Managers shouldn't have any say in who succeeds them.
Moyes is way out of his depth. There is more dead wood in the squad than there is on the Mary Rose.
It will be interesting to see who is up for the fight and who will want out.
This has been coming for a while and fault can only really placed at the door of the owners for not providing the funds. The owners and the management went to sleep after 2008. Teams are no longer scared of United or Old Trafford
What next? I do think even the Champions League may be too much now. Might be a good thing in the long run.
