Seems more and more that it is a very risky strategy what the club are doing, especially when the alternative could have made the club look stronger and not upset anyone. Are there people who are desperate for him to be manager, or would they have been equally happy with him being applauded without being in charge? The whole 'seeing out his contract' thing cuts no ice with me to be honest, and he can retain his dignity along with the club's. Seems very strange to me, maybe it's a way for Bill to say thanks, and it would be appreciated if everything just remained on the QT....
Exactly.
If Kenwright had just said "thank you and goodbye, David" would there have been a clamour even from the Moyes supporters for an "emotional farewell" as he leads the team for one last game?
Of course there wouldn't.
Everyone would have just accepted his era was over the moment he signed for United.
Because that's the way football works.
Instead we have had a bitter debate about what is happening today and it is all so unnecessary.
