He hasn't turned into a bad manager overnight. Last season he finished above liverpool despite all the money they spent.
Its a massive job and was always going to be, apart from a few backroom staff and fellaini everybody at the club was hired by SAF. The change was always going to be difficult whether we like it or not, but what we musn't do is start sacking managers every 6 months. If we go down that path we are doomed.
He deserves 2 years and hopefully then we will be seeing strong signs of improvements, if not then maybe it is time to look at another manager.
Until that time he has my full support, once he makes signings it will get better.

I am not sure on this. But We play very poor these days. nothing to do with his transfers.

Of course it has something to do with transfers. All the players that are playing were bought by another manager. Some won't know whether moyes believes in them and i'm sure some players don't totally believe in him.
He needs 3 or 4 of his own signings in the team at least before he can be properly judged.

I agree completely with Will Red's post. Implementing organisational change on this scale is a massive task and it takes time for everyone to buy into the new culture. Moyes needs to be given time to build his vision. I'd be very disappointed if we started chopping and changing managers after a few months like some other teams seem to do.
Of course it's difficult to watch the team we love going through this process but it was always going to be a difficult transition after so many years with SAF leading United.
Patience is a virtue many seem to have misplaced at the moment.

Will Red.
He ahd all the summer to sign the players he want. What did he do.?. 25. 26. 28 and there you go 40 mill for Fellaini. and we are after baines. whose a great player. but at the age of 29?. and with Everton looking at 25mil +?

5.) 08 Jan 2014
No he hasn't turned into a bad manager overnight. it took him 12 years at Everton where he won nowt and 6 months with us where he will win nowt

Where on earth did you get a figure of £40M from? If the facts don't fit, change them eh?

7.) 08 Jan 2014
Fellaini wasn't 40 million was he. Baines would have helped us a great deal, because of the silly money been asked for a left back of that age that is probably why we won't get him.
Moyes went for better midfield options 1st in the summer and its probably woodward to blame for not delivering. We got fellaini last minute as we were desperate, he was overpriced and it hasn't worked out yet but he will get better with the right partner.
Moyes knows where we need to improve as it shows with players we've been after.
It will take time. Its a massive job for him/for anyone but we will improve.

Fellaini cost us 30 mill and with a 5 year contract. I am not sure the figure it would fetch.
baines is 29, a Superb LB would give us another 2 seaosns at Best and would fade like Evra or Cole, It would be stuppid to spend anything more than 20 mill on a vetran.
Moyes had time,, Infact plenty of time to access the squad, A good manager could easily predicts the physical health of a player

Fellaini should never have been bought, period.
The fact that moyes bought him and paid £27.5m for him is worrying in the extreme. He then tried him in several positions, all of which didn't seem to suit. You would think that moyes will know Fellaini's best position?

10.) 08 Jan 2014
Fellaini hasn't been good, far from it. But he will improve when fit and given s run with the right partner. He wasnt my choice but we were desperate. It hasn't worked out up to now I admit.
Attitude, I agree the silly money asked for baines isn't worth paying because of his sge, shame because he would be great for us.
A bit baffled by 'a good manager easily predicts the physical health of a player' though. He should have predicted the injuries?

11.) 08 Jan 2014
I agree Fellaini shouldn't have been bought, his best position is just behind the striker where he can cause chaos.However Moyes bought him as a DM where he is not suited even though he himself claims it to be his favourite position.To get the best out of him would mean playing Rooney elsewhere which is not a good idea.We have not seen him anywhere near his best though, even as a DM.
