Following the departure of David Moyes as manager, Manchester United has announced that Ryan Giggs, the club’s most decorated player, will assume responsibility for the first team until a permanent appointment can be made.

The club will make no further comment on this process until it is concluded.

In the next month or so Brendan Rodgers could become the longest serving manager in the PL despite being Liverpool manager for less than 2 years. Only Pardew, Fat Sam and Wenger are ahead of him and there's massive doubts over all 3 of their futures.

A sad day for football. After 20 years of being told this isn't how Utd do things and them mocking other clubs for not giving managers time, it turns out they do exactly the same thing when things aren't going well.

That's a bit harsh. I expect at Chelsea/Man City he'd have been gone at Christmas.

And maybe that would have been for the best too.

edit: and if reports are to believed Utd's board thought so too but decided the thing to do was to save a few quid rather than your season.

That's got to be **** surely. If he lost the players then appointing someone else could easily have save their season. Terrible. I hope that's not true, that's worse than pretending not to be a sacking club.
 
The correct decision. Of course people expected a transition period after Ferguson but Man U were far worse than any reasonable expectation this season. They should have sacked him sooner tbh.
 
Moyes has made mistakes this season but surely he deserves a chance to learn from those mistakes?

The sacking of Moyes accelerates, rather than reverses, the decline of Man Utd from a special club to an also-ran. They're now no different from Chelsea, Man City or Spurs.
 
Now UTD have no choice but to appoint a well established manager! They can't go for the "safe" long term type manager that Moyes seemed to be at the time.

This could be a very very tough time for the club if they don't get the manager that is NEEDED to take the club back to winning titles every season.

I say we give AVB a shot if we can't get Klopp. Even though he got fired at Chelsea and Spurs, he is young and hungry and maybe thats what we need right now. Not someone that has been there and done that but someone that wants to be there and win things.

Reports last night suggested that the club decided on sacking Moyes months ago but waited until it was impossible to qualify for the CL as it meant they then only had to pay him 1 year of his remaining contract.

Was that a clause in his contract then?

fair enough - although at the moment thats only speculation.

I certainly have read they had decided before the BM 2nd leg , although I havent seen there was a financial implication to the delayed announcement.

Maybe the Glazers wanted the extra £10-£15m in their own pockets lol
 
Mistake imo. A new manager will come in, and do exactly the same with a very average squad. At least Moyes had been there a year so he knows the dead wood. Now the new guy will have to work it out all over again.

It's all downhill for Utd now.

Or the new manager (more likely) will do a better job with the current squad and bring in some of his own players and everything will improve. That's more likely. Moyes was poor, whatever way you look at it.

There was no suggestion that Moyes had the slightest clue who the dead wood was.
