We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

[TBM]

Can't believe people are defending him on the basis that last year's champions aren't good. Really?! Are they really a 7th placed team? I think not.

Liverpool are stronger and benefited from no European football
Chelsea were always going to be well drilled under Mourinho
Man City have world class players
Arsenal benefitted from a decent first half to the season
Everton are the over performers this season

Then you get Utd who even last year, weren't even as good as those ^ teams are now. 6th is where Utd should be IMHO

[Sutekh]

Moyes has now gone.

[Handsome Man]

BBC confirming the sacking now

[soggy biscuit]

[glass half full]

News of Moyes sacking released on Twitter? Very professional

[leww_rfc]

Van Gaal would get RVP firing again, and would attract much better prospects that Moyes would to the club.

If I were a Utd fan I'd be practically gagging for Klopp right now.

Give Dortmund £100m for Klopp, Hummels, Gundogan and Reus and that should sort them out pretty sharpish.

[No Fixed Abode]

United to approach Brendan Rodgers. YHIHF

[Pepe the Horseman]

Klopp has ruled himself out apparently.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

He has failed so very badly most managers currently in the PL would do a better job.

Gobsmacked people are defending him. He failed to win 24 of his 51 games! Awful record and the players must have known quite early on he was tactically inept.

Feel sorry for the bloke though. Where does he go from here?

Straight into pretty much any managerial job outside the top 6 or 7.

[Dai Brainbocs]

Newcastle or West Ham next. Or he could just bank the 10 mill and never work again, that would do for me.

[YateleyRoyal]

Sherwood out, Moyes in. Spurs supporting m8s say they wouldnt be unhappy with that.

[Whatevs]

Dimlows.

I wish people would stop harking back to 'this team won the premiership'. Yep, and the players are a year older (plus long term injuries) and the league was dogsh*t last season


As for the 'he's not proven himself/he's not big enough for ManU', Only in the UK does such arrogance abound. Bigger clubs than Manu appoint managers with less experience. That arrogance is really self defeating for the medium sized clubs in this country, let alone the bigger ones

with the back 4 Liverpool have then the league must be double dogshit this year. How can you quantify a league being shit? I hear it every (EVERY) year about the championship.

Yep. They got by on Fergie's reputation last season.

I mean seriously? A squad that sees the likes of Rafael, Anderson, Cleverly, Young (old and injured) Ferdinand, (ancient) Giggs, (retired) Scholes et al getting plenty of games and that's supposed to be a good Utd squad? There are plenty of Utd teams that didn't win the PL that would have pissed all over last season's version.

Rafael is a good player just always injured. Very good attacking, not so great defensively but still good enough

Young, Cleverly are dogshit (for United). Ferdinand was ok last year totally past it now and should retire.

No idea how you can actually test present v past (v future) so won't comment

[WoodleyRoyal]

just got a email from fish 4 jobs made me

[SPARTA]

£4m+ pay-off. That'll soften the blow somewhat.

Utd seeing if they can tempt Guardiola
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... fford.html

Manchester United are prepared to make a check on Pep Guardiola before turning to their list of more realistic targets.

Having sacked David Moyes and put Ryan Giggs in temporary charge until the end of the season, United must now identify the club’s long-term successor.

Louis van Gaal is desperate to land the Old Trafford job, but United have been made aware Jurgen Klopp is not interested in the post.

Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone has admirers at United, but the Argentine’s lack of English fluency is a major drawback.

Before making a firm approach to Van Gaal, Simeone or another candidate, United are set to make discreet moves to find out whether or not Guardiola could be tempted away from Bayern Munich.

Such a move would be a long-shot, as Guardiola is only 12 months into the three-year deal he signed at Bayern last summer. The Spaniard has already guided the German club to the Bundesliga title and faces Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday night.

United are aware Guardiola sees United as a club he would eventually like to manage in England and sources suggest he is not entirely happy in Munich and with the influence of former Bayern players at the club.

After leaving Barcelona, Guardiola spent a year-long sabbatical in New York and improved his English. The 43-year-old has confirmed he would like to eventually manage in the Premier League.

Ahead of Bayern’s Champions League quarter-final, Guardiola revealed he may have been offered the chance to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson as United manager before Moyes was given the job, but could not fully understand the Scotsman’s accent.

Guardiola and Ferguson dined together in New York in September 2012 during the former midfielder’s break.

A bit surprised that my thread is still going!

LOL at Man Yooo!
