Hi Guys

I havn't posted on here for a long time but I'm a regular reader.
As a Reds Fan for 45 years I just felt that I needed to join in the debate of what's happening to our great club.
I must admit that I have mixed feelings as what should happen in the near future.I can't help but feel there is a remarkable similarity to what happened to SAF when he took over.A squad that was past its best, a major rebuild needed and a number of fans that was calling for his head in the early days.Now I'm not saying DM will be as successful as the greatest Manager in the history of football but I do feel that we should give him sufficient time.How long that is I'm not sure but surely at least until xmas.We need to see what he does over the summer in terms of ins and outs and then we can judge him properly.
I know I am probably going to get ambushed by a lot of you guys but my loyalty and passion for our great club will never diminish.I remember getting relegated and we are not anywhere near that yet.
Right now what the team needs is for everyone of us to get behind them and be the 12th man.
We need to get our season started and there is no better place to do that than tonight at The Emirates.
United till I die

Fair enough, but my major problem is his attitude.
He keeps saying we're still going to win the championship (couple of weeks ago), we are doing the right things and are just unlucky etc.
it's clear to see, at least to me, that we are not doing the right things, look at both results and kind of football we play.
It seems to me he hasn't realized simply finishing in the Top4 is not a great result, but the worst in the history of the Premier League!

Looks to me like he doesn't realize the situation his club is in, or even worse, he doesn't care!

I can see the similarities to when SAF took over, however we as a club were in a different position and football is rather a different animal. With fickle sponsors and sky only really wanting to show the top teams finding ourselves in middle table mediocracy will inhibit sponsorship deals and share price.

I come back to the fact the club didn't keep to their own given requirements for a new manager, i.e European experience & sucessful. Moyes doesn't qualify, and all these people saying give him time? He had 10 years at Everton and achieved what? I think Bill Kenwright would be most pleased with the progress Martinez has made and if offered Moyes back you would get a flat no!

Moyes is probably a nice bloke, very unlucky from what he has said himself, but he is not, and never will be the type of quality manager our club demands. You can only look back at history, he was average at Everton, the same players under a different manager are now well above us and have beaten us. I am affraid he has to go & sooner rather than later.
