David Moyes disgracefully sacked

[Wolfe777]

The bitter irony for Utd in all this is that if any current Prem manager could be considered an early years Fergie prototype, it would be Brendan Rodgers.

Both British, neither were great players, both worked their way up in lower leagues and won major trophies with smaller clubs, before moving to huge English clubs in the doldrums and revitalising their fortunes, getting the best out of a British core of players.

Rodgers has got a few games to go, granted, but if he does win the league for Liverpool it would definitely rival Fergie's first Prem win in '93, and who knows what that could lead to considering he's only 41?

It would also be roughly the same gap of 25 years between titles for both clubs.

Arguably the closest modern contempary to Fergie is one they'll ironically never get a chance to hire.

time to buy some shares before they sky rocket

Glazers and Fergie have already picked up all the ones for sale

This was all part of the plan.

When you consider what a disaster it's been, it's crazy he's still in a job!

If they were on the verge of being relegated that would have been disaster. It's his first season in charge. At least give the guy a chance to bring in some new faces in the summer and see how next season pans out..

Just my 2 pence.

United's demise is eerily similar to that of 'Pools back in the 80's from what I'm told. Hopefully this isn't the start of something disastrous

Still unbelievable how the players have shown no desire either, they are just as much to blame in this mess of a season.

Moyes is just the fall guy in all this.

Could be enough for the owners to pack up their stuff and sell, going to be a lot of money needed to sort the mess out.

It's the job of the manager to get the players playing well, Moyes has done nothing good.

Are his tactics good? No.

Can he motivate the players? No.

We don't need a complete overhaul, we just need the players motivated and to get a few new players in the right areas. Champions by 11 points don't turn to garbage in the space of a few months, but that's what's happened.

When you're a club with the kind of popularity/advertising revenue that Man Utd have, Champions to 7th is a disaster, in my opinion. Especially when you've spent £70m and gone backwards.

Convenient timing - Ferguson is selling off £3,000,000 worth of wine from his collection so he could have a bit of spare cash laying around.

Major trophy with smaller clubs? Remind me which one BR won?

I'm sorry but that's ********, people earning the wages these guys do and you need a manager to motivate them to win?

Lol.

Betting has been suspended. Imo that's the death throws. He is gone gone gone.

Hit beckham in the head from 12 yards so far more accurate than welbeck.

Lol.

In theory I'd agree, but in football you very much do need a manager who can motivate them. It's the case everywhere.

Takes 2 to tango. People don't like change and that includes professional footballers.

If they don't want to play for the new gaffer then maybe they should bugger off.

Fergie was a better player than Rodgers and he obviously had a much longer career too due to Rodgers' injury, and he did play for Rangers, but Fergie admits himself on many occasion he still wasn't much of a player.

So many teams have improved since then that I don't believe Jose would have made you champions again. You would not have lost as mnay games but the football would still be nothing to write home about.

I do think he would have got you in the top 4 though at Arsenals expense and built on that, rather than what you have now...

It's easier to change 1 manager than 11+ players, I'm afraid!

I don't think we'd have won it either, but to look so terrible in almost every game is just horrible to watch.

It's easy to say that sitting on the sidelines however can you honestly say you would trust Moyes to spend 200million?

I think the main reason for this isn't necessarily the league position. All season long Utd have looked poor tactically with little progress being made. Worse then that have you seen his interviews?

At half time 0-2 against Everton the other day he actually said "I think we have controlled the game so far", Utd had no shots on target in that first half. Game after game he makes excuses.
