Oh dear I see from one website usually fairly good at delivering some truth behind things that DM is about to be sacked and an interim managerial team is to be put in place whilst a long term solution can be arranged. I mean yes I am not happy about things recently but I'd have hoped he would get more time to sign the players he wanted and given chance to shine! IF and I say IF it does happen i'd like to see SAF back for the remainder of the season to save our skins. Who knows. Let's wait and see. I hope not though.

Surely not? I am not a Moyes fan, but we are better than Chelsea and the likes?

Agree1 Disagree0

If this is true I'd be delighted. For me Moyes was never the answer utd needed a manager who had managed very top flight previously Inc champions league. Moriniho, Klopp, even Blanc would have been better for me. And as for Ferguson come back as interim? No thank you! Did you read or read about his book? Arrogant, nasty ****! Slagging off players that without whom you may not have had the success you dud do. Thanks for the trophies fergie but the sight of your arrogant pink face makes my blood boil! Rant over!

BeachBum. I'm not too sure if you are up to date on the 21st centuries methods of "how to sell a book". Let me explain. Grab everyone's attention. Did it work?

Have you ever watched the film A BRIDGE TOO FAR?

If so, you'll understand my logic.

SAF Retires, David Gill Moves on, Moyes moves in, Woodward takes over as CEO. Moyes fires existing backroom staff and brings in his old team (that won nothing).

A winning team then are transform into losers, Transfer targets give us the brush off and getting others interested becomes an uphill struggle.

Moyes was never on MY radar, I believe (IMO only) that Guardiola was the anointed one, but turned it down.

The Glazers must act now to steady the ship, we are playing poor football, and we are the butt of virtually all the text jokes around. Mike Phelan virtually ran the ship, get him back to work with Giggs & Neville for the rest of the season.

How the mighty are fallen - But. Manchester United will never die. We'll keep the Red flag flying high!

Biting the bullet time!

@Redkezz99 what is this website you speak of?
@BeachBum, relax there. Hindsight is a wonderful thing . I seem to remeber some posts by you in August where you complained about Cleverly & Welbeck . You said they were (paraphrasing here ) "useless " but then you watched a match and you had changed your mind saying that with those 2 Utd were "covered" in Midfield and attack with them . 13days later you changed your mind again saying that they were not Manchester United players . You are prone to an old rant and as for your comments re Fergie to me it leads me to believe you have no comprehension of football at all . Football at Utd is about the long term not a short term fix and if all you are used to is success while supporting Utd well it's time for a bit of humility and less of the sense of entitlement that you as a fan feel you deserve .

Agree1 Disagree1

People who think Moyes was going to come in and be succesful in the first season of this job aren't looking at the situation very realistically.

On record he's been more successful than both Sir Matt and Sir Alex in their first seasons, yes they had to build the team up from nothing but Moyes has an ageing squad in a league that has never been more competitive. It's hard to stomach the bad results and all the noise from rival fans but I really don't think it'll be like this for long.

I see a web site are saying the glazers are going to sack moyes after the Chelsea loss!

Believable36 Unbelievable50

If he has funds and the backing then it's the right decision. If he has no funds then there isn't much he can do.

Agree4 Disagree1

If the club buy new stars for him, he can do what we want him to do, BUT if there will be no good new players, Morinho plus Guardiola plus Heynckes all together can't do any think better.
Became champions with these player is just Ferguson ability, and now he is retired.

Agree1 Disagree1

As much as I agree something isn't right I don't think sacking moyes is the answer and plus who do we get in to replace him that's actually going to turn our season around? Unless fergie is willing then I think moyes should be given another year. If this time next year we are struggling like this I think he should rightly be sacked.

Agree2 Disagree2

I think moyes has to be looked at, falleni was a shocking buy, kagawa plays in the no.10 roll against Swansea 2nd half and plays well yet doesn't get picked since, young, nani and Valencia have been shocking yet zaha doesn't even get a chance, I've lost all confidence in him myself

Agree7 Disagree1

What an personic post

Agree1 Disagree3

No way! Stability is what our club needs not another transition, Moyes will get it right but needs time to do the required work.

Agree4 Disagree2

Wouldn't say no to Heynckes to be fair, give him three years to keep up our high standards and replace SAF, he is a big enough man to do so. Not saying Moyes should go though.

Agree1 Disagree0

Very much agree ozwald!
Could any of the eds let us kno the situation with utd as regards the owners. Are they purely only interested in making utd as valuable as possible commercialy before flogging us?
Or do they actually give a dam football wise?
Either way a few star signings would only help!
Im pretty sure most would agree we are in need of a Cantona type scenario where somebody comes in and just grabs the team by the scruff of the neck and does the business.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ferguson's record against Mourinho hardly set the world alight did it now. Losing today was to be expected and yes, United are out of the title race. Top 4 is the priority now (+ the League Cup would be a nice bonus) and I would think that Moyes will bring someone in this month. Fellaini was a panic buy granted but Veron was a very expensive flop as well (about the same sort of money as Fellaini, more when inflation is taken into account). Moyes cannot achieve anywhere near the same success as Ferguson when its not 'his' team or a squad full of world class players. It will take time to rebuild, just hopefully not 20 years ;) .

if we are not going to sign a midfielder which isn't looking likely and we play jones in midfield surely garay in jan is what we need at minimum is this any closer ed? Do we have a likely midfield target for jan?
cheers
noa

{Ed004's Note - No we will sign no one and be told their was no value in the market.}

Didn't you know they are queuing up, someone open the door.

Agree0 Disagree0

This value crap does my head in, we paid 30m for rio 12 yrs ago but think 30m is huge money now, ozil, Willian, thiago or erikson could all of been signed in the summer not to mention strootman but no, instead the glazer's will find out the value of owning a club that finishes 7th or 8th . Those stinking sponsor deals won't be so easy to sell then

Agree2 Disagree0

Our transfer profligacy is embarrassing, just open the check book and do what is required. Garay is a must because our defence is appalling, 14 conceded in the last 11, that's on par with Sunderland and Palance.

Agree1 Disagree0

Someone is needed in central midfield, even if its just recalling Nick Powell from Wigan.

Moyes was in Malaga on Friday night to watch their game against Valencia. Although people will expect he was watching banega as he has been linked with a move this wasn't the case. The PLAYERS he was looking at were oriol romeu who is there on loan from Chelsea and Pablo piati. Romeu would add some much needed steal to the heart of our midfield and piati would be brought in to provide the ammunition to our strikers. Moyes has ran out of patience with cleverly and will listen to offers for the England midfielder. Moyes is ready to have a complete change around this summer with the only midfield survivors being carrick and januzaj.

Darron, just because you was turfed out on your arse, doesn't mean Cleverley will be ;)

On a serious note, Cleverley will not be going anywhere. We don't just lack quality, we lack quantity.
