Even if that isn't what was said, the idea is he'd be stupidly depressed to have missed out on Roma's title fight for the first time in forever, not that he'd be suicidal over Utd being so crap.

Kind of similar to if last year Utd came 8th and Arsenal were leading the table for the first half of the season he'd feel truly gutted he left at the wrong time.

lol,

though, to pile on. What is the list of stuff Moyes has done badly, things like Newcastle won there for the first time in 40 years or something, Swansea win there for the first time ever. There were a few more good ones IIRC>

I meant more like, funny stats, the worst start for 362 years, more goals conceded at home since 1942.
But yeah, still funny they lost to Everton and Brom as well :p

Seriously though, Moyes is so so so clearly the wrong man. The squad hasn't been great for years and seriously helped by Arsenal never getting their crap together and most players being out of form, no Flamini, Wilshire still fighting back from an injured 18 months pretty much. Mancini being a dodo and Benitez not being any improvement over RDM at all, and them focusing on Europe.

I can see Utd spending big though, firstly they seem to have said it, second, you buy a couple truly top players and it will lift the rest of the squad even with a crap manager. It will make the team stronger, they'd play better, you can usually count on some decent form from new buys(if you buy experienced top players rather than potential). That could all lead to higher league position, stronger squad and a much stronger advert to bring a new manager in for summer. If they don't just get shot of him now that is.

I mean even if they thought they would ditch Moyes in the summer, if you assume Ozil hadn't left Real yet the club could just buy him, ignore Moyes, he'd improve the team, they'd be in a better place for summer. There are other buys they can make with the same purpose.

The more I think about it, just, wtf were any of them thinking. Completely new and unproven, a la Guardiola, Mourinho, others, I can understand it, older and utterly tested, the most sensible option, proven to be completely average and incapable of getting those big one off results......

Look who Bayern got to replace another epic manager, while Tito wasn't known well from Europe he's a top well respected manager, who has Real brought in over and over again, top men. No idea what Utd were thinking.

Heres the interview buds

"It is difficult we just need to keep going. We didn't do a lot wrong. I thought the referee was going to blow in our direction for the first goal. I couldn't believe he gave a free kick. It was a terrible decision.
"We are all just laughing at them at the minute. We get a player booked for doing the same. It looks as though we are having to play them [officials] as well as the opposition at the moment.
"I thought the players, our crowd were unbelievable, the players deserved to get a result. It's a two legged game and I am really looking forward to the second leg."

I agree with you (out of hope more than anything), that the key lies with signings. We don't need (or won't get) a Vidal or someone like that, we just need the next best thing in a few positions, which should be easily attainable with the right amounts of money. When this money has been spent, after a few months we'll see where we are. The risk is letting him spend say, £100m, on whoever he likes, we'll need some third party input to make sure the money isn't being wasted. The best part of £30m on Fellaini is a worry for example. If we do buy 3-4 top quality players though, the clock will well and truly start ticking, Moyes is going to need to show some tactical nous and get some kind of system going.

I actually hope they pull him up on it (I don't think they will though). Ever since he got the job he's been moaning about officials, who does he think he is?! ;) :p The fixture list, the decisions, etc...
 
Yup, Utd completely deserved to win, for sure, and the best reaction to a brilliant performance with no luck is to tell the officials in this country you're laughing at them.........

Has Moyes got some kind of brain damage?

little harsh. SAF wanted longevity and someone with epl experience. moyes is the best option utd had. .. jose might do better short term, but then what? utd would become a manager go a round club like everyone else.

give him a full season. 4th place would be fine with our current form.
