He shall fall on his sword, end of the season.

Then join somebody like West Brom next year.

Rooney is off to chelsea Rvp will ask for a transfer and the rest, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite

 

[rascal]

Btw I'd have Kagawa if used properly, (ie his Dortmund role)

They will still get a CL place. In fact, going out of the cup gives them a bit of breathing space in that respect.

I expect a big month in the transfer market for them and some quality in the middle brought in.

Moyes is a complete duffer though and it'll all be in spite of him they do get a CL spot not because of him. If they don't get a CL spot Moyes will be out...no question.

No chance they'll get a CL spot, 6th at most for them (provided moyes stays the season)

Moyes was saying the other day they aren't bringing anyone in January, hope that's true

What was Fergie thinking? shuda gone for Mourinho.

Jobs for the boys. Ferguson liked Moyes, that was the end of it.

Same reason all the Kopites are in the media positions.

His thinking is pretty clear: preserve my legacy. Either Moyes is successful, so Fergie looks good for recommending him, or he's a disaster and the fans realise what a legend Sir Alex was.

Win win!

.......players play for the manager. I don't think it was a poor United side who won the league, I just don't think the same players are pulling out the stops for Moyes. I suspect that they not only don't rate him, but they don't rate his backroom staff.

That is inconceivable now. They HAVE to spend. And they will.

With a class midfielder and van Persie and Rooney back they will win games.

Fantastic post.

Imagine being a title winning player one year, and then the next you're looking over at the bench and you've got that ginger whopper, Phil f'in Neville and Steve "Headset" Round looking on.

A kids under 8's side would struggle not to just laugh at the pathetic fools, nevermind the reigning champions.

 

[lmurkder]

Moyes is just trying to get to 40 points obviously.

Prioritisng Uniteds limited resources. Doesn't have enough world class players.

Will probably do what he did at finch farm remove all trace of history or legends from Carrington whilst he's at it.

That Bony header = Lukaku's header in the Derby. Great effort. 'Bout time he did something, btw.

 

[tsubaki]

He was the top young manager in world football for his first five years here where he performed miracles. However, after that, when we had games we were expected to win to push on, he couldn't get it done.

What we're seeing here is all of that magnified. Moyes cannot get the best out of good players in big games. He instils fear and negativity.

That was definately one of his failings. It also doesnt help that one of his greatest strengths - bringing boss players in for (almost) nothing - isnt going to happen at United

 

[Blue Bill]

If they lose to Sunderland on Tuesday (yes its only the first leg) then surely they will have to re-consider Moyes' position?
