"He is doing a great job and should not be sacked ............. ![]() ![]() Keep him because he smiles? He's tactially inept, and has used a different team in all 51 games this season! He managed my team for 11 dour years, and you're welcome to him! | |||

"Can't see Martinez going to a mid table side now he is a manger on the way up!" martinez would be my 2nd choice for arsenal after klopp..... thing is maybe managers will be more cautious this time round if united approach them.... it would be interesting if united did approach martinez... because if I were everton the manager I would then look at would be Wigan again and Uwe Rosler.... | |||

"I'm not a manu fan but the amount of stick and shit that guy got, from fans the media and peers, made an already difficult job damn near impossible. He's a good gaffer imo. " I praised him before and as he joined united. I thought at the time of he could achieve at Everton with no money or little money all the time. Imagine what he will achieve at United when they throw millions at him. Then I saw his tactics and how much influence he has over players/the staff and the changes he has made within the club. Not to mention his post match interviews. He has no power at all or respect from people within the club and if you don't have respect from the players or anyone. What's the point in being there? If one player isn't respected they are normally shown the door. So why not the manager ![]() | |||

"but seriously though.. how much of this is on moyes.... how much of this is on the glazers (remember the chief exec left at the same time at sir alex, and their transfer dealings were a shambles).... how much of this is on the players...." That's always a point to be made when a manager gets sacked..or does less well than expected... How much is it on wenger that he's team hasn't won a trophy in years? I always felt moyes could fail because he himself had never won multiple games in a row...or had a team that went into games with a dominant, fearless mentality... He wasn't used to that sort of pressure on a weekly basis. Maybe sacking the backroom staff wasn't the wisest idea...removed all continuity. The transfer blunders played a part perhaps - but whose to say the new kids would have respected him more...? Maybe the players just wanted a break from having to work so hard and moyes have them the perfect excuse - that's tongue in cheek..most if those guys are hungry winners. Maybe, it was just a bad fit. Being Scottish and a long serving manager wasn't enough... | |||

"Not into football, more a rugby man, what i don't understand is the teams the same, how is Moyles affecting there performance on the pitch? " Actually that's a fair point. It's said the senior players weren't happy? What Rio, Carrick? Where's your own performance been this season? Whether you like the manager or not you're still capable as a thinking adult of saying, actually, I'm still going to give it my best. For the fans, for my own satisfaction and for pride. I see only a few players who seem to give a crap. Lack of coherent direction, yes Moyes is culpable. Responsible for players not being arsed to put in a shift, absolutely not. Can't lay everything at Moyes feet. | |||

He shoulda/coulda won a cup here or there. Even a league cup - I recall they lost to the blues in the final. I'm hopeful they'll take 4th and with the Fa cup. The guy deserves something for his efforts. As far as Moyes, although he probably had a part to play...he's not alone by any means. Senior players and the names you mentioned all have to shoulder some responsibility. I can't imagine fergie would have tolerated the ineptitude of gazidis and law - Moyes perhaps didn't have the confidence to challenge that so soon into his career at OT. Uncertain times. | |||

"Always a shame when someone loses their job. Reflect on this: had Van Persie been fit, scored the goals he did last season and Rooney scored the same: very different final position. Liverpool without Suarez and Sturridge this season, mid table. Arsenal with Walcott, Ramsey, Wilshire, Oxlade Chamberlain and Ozil all season: potential champs. Man city, without Toure, Aguero, Dzeko, mid table. Chelsea with strikers: Champs, without as is the case, trophyless ( be honest, they're never winning the CL ) Moyes never stood a chance. So few players of quality around Europe , all the big clubs after them, paying over inflated prices. Transfer windows have screwed clubs and managers, particularly Moyes, with no cover or replacements when key players have been injured. Blame the board: Fergie was going to retire, an inevitability. Did they interview anyone else? No. No continuity: Gill left with Fergie, the whole backroom staff changed. No coherent transfer policy in the summer. The Glazers taking out enormous sums of money from the club at the expense of the transfer kitty ( remember they hocked the club in debt to buy it! ). Arsenal fans, next time you shout for Arsene's head, take a look up to Old Trafford. Moyes never stood a chance. ![]() But you could say that about almost any team in any season. Even simply turning your first line round to if Van Persie hadn't scored the goals he did last season, United wouldn't have won the league. If Abramovich hadn't changed his managers every 5 minutes Chelsea would possibly have won more league titles. Chelsea don't have strikers of sufficient quality because their manager didn't buy them and it wasn't as if he didn't spend money circa in excess of £108million spent in 2 transfer windows plus 2 undisclosed fees and a free transfer on 15 players by comparison to Liverpool spending £45million on 8 players which includes 2 on loan players and a free transfer. Arsenal have had injuries but so have other teams such as Everton and Liverpool whom have been without players such as Sturridge, Gerrard, Allen, Johnson, Sakho, Enrique, Lucas at various times throughout the season together with Suarez serving out the remainder of his ban which was the first 5 league games of the season. It might also surprise you that Suarez has only scored 8 of Liverpools last 46 league goals so it's a long way off the mark to suggest that Liverpool are over reliant on one or 2 players only. It's also very easy to forget that Liverpool was days away from administration back in October 2010 but under good leadership from new owners Liverpool have risen like a pheonix from the flames and now 3.5 years later, we're on the brink of being Champions with a young, vibrant exciting team who will definately get some tweaks this summer to make us even stronger. United have failed so spectacularly this season because Fergie left behind an aging squad and while people hailed him for keeping Giggs playing and bring Scholes back out of retirement, he failed to bring sufficent high quality young players into his team and left any new manager with a very difficult task. Moyes failed because he was afraid to dismantle that old team and replace with new players in key positions but Moyes always has been a last minute buyer in the windows, I always thought that was down to EFC being short on money but perhaps not. Whoever takes over at United, they do have a huge task and it'll be interesting to see how much money United really do have to spend in the transfer market. The press quote figures like 100 to 200 million this summer, but United do have huge debts and a lot less revenue coming in during the next 12 months and spending the money doesn't guarantee success, ask Spurs. United can certainly withstand one season out of the CL, but if they fail twice, well that'll certainly make their future a lot less certain under the current owners. Anyway, enough about the failures, 270 minutes before #19 comes home to Anfield. | |||

"There will be a queue of out of work managers applying. Van Gaal is no doubt the favourite, though short term, mind you, what's long term in this days football. Man Utd, the model of continuity for 26 years, then 3 managers in 12 months....it takes luck, a good team, organisation, a good back room staff, a big transfer kitty, a patient board, understanding fans, realistic expectations, having a project mentality rather than a quick fix.....oh and hungry players.

One team has to win the Prem ( I support a team who have secured our place in the Prem and it's not Burnley ). I hope it's Liverpool, my eldest supports them and they have been the best team this year. Over a season, the goals of the two S's will be the difference and the reason ( not the whole reason ) that you win the league. Same as RVP was last year. That's why teams at the top need a big contribution from a striker or strikers. Had MU had a fit RVP and Rooney ( all year ), like last year, United would have finished higher, fact. Here's a thought: if Chelsea fail to win the CL, Liverpool win the Prem, Arsenal fail to win the FA cup and Man City have only won the Capital one cup.....what is the criteria of success for the top 4? Only three domestic trophies to go for, CL football is great money wise, but remember only one team can win it, in Europe. Fans expectations need to be realistic. I'd settle for us finishing one place above the relegation zone next year, now that's success! | |||

" Ryan Giggs as interim Manager?! ![]() ![]() ![]() He is british and has a great record as a manager. You never said that he had to have been continuously successful and indeed only stepped in as an interim manager to help his club out.... Sounds a little like the current situation at old Trafford right now, with the exception that Giggs has never won the league, or the double or the league at another club, as a manager, unlike Daglish. So I stand by my saying Daglish has a 'great' record as a manager. | |||

" Ryan Giggs as interim Manager?! ![]() ![]() ![]() re: good british players becoming good managers.... its an interesting case... and I think money has a lot to do with it! In my opinion, because of how much PL players earn, they don't have to go into management.... or go into getting their coaching badges... they know they are already set... plus a ton of the really good players looks to getting into the media after playing as opposed to getting into coaching... a lot less hassle...... would Man U getting Van Gaal scare me as an arsenal fan.... not really.... he is good at rebuilding, and good with youth development... but I don't think he would be at the club long enough to finish the project as he would piss someone off higher up! this is a classic quote by then Bayern GM Uli Hoeness: " Van Gaal's problem is not that he's god, but he's god's very own father.

" Here's a thought: if Chelsea fail to win the CL, Liverpool win the Prem, Arsenal fail to win the FA cup and Man City have only won the Capital one cup.....what is the criteria of success for the top 4? Only three domestic trophies to go for, CL football is great money wise, but remember only one team can win it, in Europe. Fans expectations need to be realistic. I'd settle for us finishing one place above the relegation zone next year, now that's success! I think with the added money that champions league brings... (estimated at 30-50 million pound per year) it gives those teams at the top added advantages.. in terms of transfer spending, and overall revenue (remember UEFA "fair play" rules will mean in effect you can only spend what you have coming in) but you are right.... if you consider spurs (okay, lets not laugh too much) for the purposes of this conversation as big spending.... then 6 into 4 CL spots each season is not going to go! " Strangely enough i'd never considered Spurs! The money CL qualification gives clubs the extra money, supposedly to attract the better players....or does it? It just means the same top clubs in Europe all chase the same players with inflated prices, circulating the CL money on the whole around the same clubs. The CL is an obsession for the top 4,5, perhaps 6 ( Tottenham have been obsessed...), whilst will never be something us mere mortals aspire to. It is expectation. I can no more see my team being in the Champions league than Elvis being on the moon. That said, seeing my team compete against the top 4 teams and their players does appeal. There is already and it's coming a European elite league, it just hasn't been ratified yet! ![]() | |||

"One thing is certain , the players this season have been as bad as the manager . It's gonna take a hard man to knock them back into the winning mentality . Especially Rooney who has been awful this season . So although Keane has yet to prove himself , he may be a possible option . " It's very hard to give players a wining mentality when you get rid of the people who train them how to win matches. So I feel whoever they bring in will have the winning mentality. Although it will take time before we start winning things again, but I do think we will finish higher next year and give a better account of ourselves | |||

After all he made a great recommendation with Moyes! ![]() I'm starting to think that he was trying to prove how good he actually was. By getting a poor manager in to manage the same players that he won the title with. Only they has obviously aged a year. He remains a great, but he should just keep out of it now. He's done wonders for the club. Now he just has to retire properly. | |||

Liverpool dominated the league for over two decades then slipped, man utd will go the same way. Liverpool was the biggest club in the world in the 80's, not so now but things change... | |||

But Moyes got rid of the backroom staff, why I don't know. Plus every united fan was saying we should be picking Janazjai, but it never happened as "he wasn't ready" according to Moyes and as soon as he got picked. They played better, won some games. Then he said "I don't know why we didn't pick him from the start". He also said after a game about a month ago "I don't know what we have to do to win games". Now as soon as your in a bad spell in terms of results and performances and you have no proven track record. The club is in trouble. Hopefully now the club can bring in an established record. Who has own things at the highest levels and has managed players with big egos. | |||

Man Utd will move on. People will moan about the next privilege they think they're entitled to. The world will continue to spin. The ruling class will continue to distract their herd. Dignity, honour and respect will continue to lose their value. I'm a bit sad too, now. | |||

"Don't pity him. He'll walked away with £5m in his arse pocket." I never understand this. Surely in a managers contract it will state they are allowed to be sacked if the minimum target isn't reached. 7th in the league by Uniteds standards isn't on. I agree no team has the right to win it. You have to work hard, have that bit of luck, etc. Going by the teams in the league. They should have finished 4th or 5th. They are capable at beating teams in the league with the players they have, but for ever reason the mentality or motivation wasn't there and that is down to the manager. So in my opinion he had to go. Hopefully the manager that comes in can get his business done quickly and not panic buy players like Moyes did. | |||

Man city, without Toure, Aguero, Dzeko, mid table.

You get what you deserve I think and where we are comes down to a manager either not really having a clear idea of where he's going or isn't given room and time to show it, a team of players who (with maybe 3 exceptions) don't give a fuck about putting in a shift and fans and media who scream OUT as soon as results start to go bad. Can't say I'm relieved, more embarrassed that we'll probably just become another revolving door club. | |||

"I really hope we don't become a revolving door club . The interesting statistic this season is that in 51 games we have had 51 different starting line ups . Incredible but true , and a perfect example of why Moyes was clueless . I would question that 3 players have been up for it this season , I really can't say that one has shown true grit and determination . Least of all Rooney who has been a disgrace , and that hurts to say as he is capable of so much more . It's a tragedy seeing the club in such disarray , somewhat akin to Wilf McGuiness and Frank O Farrell , and our eventual demise to the second division . And way back then , our best players behaved disgracefully too , so a lesson should be learned from that this time round . As hard as it is to say , Fergie should take a back seat for a while , give the new boss a chance . Bring back some of the back room team , and let the current squad know in no uncertain terms that none of them are irreplaceable ( especially Rooney , Carrick , Jones , ) and get rid of the dross like Fellani , Cleverley , Young and Nani . Others like:- Kagawa , Wellbeck , Henandez , Valencia , Rafael , Smalling , De Gea , Mata , Januzai all deserve a chance to prove themselves . I haven't mentioned van Persie because he is even more disgraceful than Rooney and I believe the truth will prevail regarding him now Moyes has gone . " Mata has played well for United when played in his correct position, so has Janazaj, de gea and Hernandez have already proven they are good players and are worth their worth at the club. However no other player has. Some players need a chance and some need to be shown the door. Hopefully the new manager will know this as too many exits will mean more problems. | |||

"Giggs might be a utd legend but saying players will respect him? This is the guy that fucked his own brothers mrs. A footballer yes but a cunt of a man who should be ashamed" I'm not sure other players give a shit who he fucks (as long as it's not their Mrs or another team mates Mrs) I think he will have the respect of younger players for his longevity, fitness and massive haul of accolades. I personally though don't think he'll necessarily make a good manager. He's a footballer, not in the running for the papacy. | |||

We have Rooney/Hernandez/van Persie/Janazjai, de gea. Those players can ruin teams in the league on their day apart from city and Chelsea maybe. Reason why United haven't done nothing is because no one else has performed and the ones mentioned didn't get picked for some reason on another. Bring some quality, established players in and with the right manager we can can cut the ridiculous gap. If the gap isn't cut next season. I will agree with you. We will slip. | |||

"True and how has the press let him off so lightly ??? Cos it's manyoo that's why Could be a few years before we see them back at the top of the tree ... Have a lot of rebuilding to do Next season will be in the top 4. No higher need time. Season after we will be challenging, but won't be quiet there. So will finish 3rd. However we will be quite a bit of top spot. In the third season. The top 3 clubs will be much closer and whoever will win it won't be by much, In the fourth season we will win it as the wining mentality would be back. This is going by we get the right manager and right players over the next few years. If Liverpool continue to play like they have I can see united kicking arsenal out of the top 4 and it would stay like that for year to come. Basically my guess is 3-5 years for the league 2-4 years before we start winning trophies as I can see us winning the league or fa cup in 2+ years with the right manager that is. ![]() who spends over a billion £`s then fucks off! believe me salford fc are Finnished,you never know you may pass fc utd on your way,fc utd ar'nt they the proper united? they are in my book.RIP salford utd | |||
