Well obviously but it's one of those moments when you think, "right that's definitely my Man Utd dream over"
Today is a fantastic day for Manchester United. Louis van Gaal is a great appointment and let me begin by telling you how delighted I am to be working with someone of his calibre. His credentials are second to none and I’m positive the club will thrive under his leadership over the coming years.
I would also like to take this opportunity to announce my retirement from professional football and embark upon a new and exciting chapter in my life, as assistant manager of Manchester United. I am immensely proud, honoured and fortunate to have represented the biggest club in the world 963 times and Wales 64 times. My dream was always to play for Manchester United, and although it saddens me to know I won’t be pulling on a United jersey again as a player, I have been lucky enough to have fulfilled that dream playing with some of the best players in the world, working under an incredible manager in Sir Alex Ferguson, and most of all, playing for the greatest fans in world football. I have always felt and appreciated your support.
I want to also give a huge thanks to the backroom staff and support teams we have and have had at Manchester United over the years. I would not have achieved the success I have without your continuing dedication and commitment to creating the best environment to enable the players to thrive. I would not have won 34 trophies in my career without you. I would also like to say a special thanks to my friends and family for all your love and support.
For me, today is a new chapter filled with many emotions - immense pride, sadness, but most of all, excitement towards the future. United fans I hope will share and echo my belief that the club, the management and owners, are doing everything they can to return this great club to where it belongs, and I hope to be there every step of the way. To the greatest fans in world football, thank you, I have loved every minute of playing for you and representing the biggest and best club in the world.
See you next season.

You can keep beating the Moyes drum, fact of the matter is, he was out of his depth massively
He's not said we "might" or we'll "try" to do anything yet
It was of his own making.
Oh no I completely agree, I've said before the players have to take some of the blame but then again, is it not Moyes' job to motivate those players?
One of the things that always came out in the Fergie era is that the team never rested on their laurels and were ready to challenge again as soon as they had won the last trophy. You would have thought that losing Fergie would have motivated them to try and do even better the following season.
That is down to Moyes and his coaching staff. I mean making Rio and Vidic watch a video of how Jagielka defends, give me a break.
Gimp when you said in the earlier thread you didn't want to argue with newer/fair-weather fans hence didn't vote on whether he should be sacked or not surely the majority would've been in agreement with you and there wouldn't have been much arguing?
Frank is the only one I can recall defending him most of the time and Loki had that one post I can remember saying he deserves time to build, wtf were you worried about arguing if you think he was garbage
It's quite simple, I don't argue like normal people
Keane was right, imagine if Keane was around when Moyes was there, it would have been a mass walkout.
There was no one to argue with
At what point did you want Moyes gone ?
Why am I getting grilled?
Do you want an exact date or something?
It's a question you've asked several times, that's a grilling.
I never wanted him in the first place but could see why he was chosen, it's easy to criticise now it has all played out but at the time I was prepared to give him time, that was until it became apparent he didn't have the balls for it.
What I meant by fair weather fans are the one's that appeared all of a sudden out of nowhere telling everyone how they knew from the start he was the wrong man and giving us their 'expert' opinions, luckily on here we tend to realise who those people are pretty quickly and then pay them no lip service.
In days gone by, I would have called them ****s and sat in suspension for eternity
A team of motivated sportsman one season, to a team that struggles to beat cannon fodder at home and in most cases lost?
That's down to two very different managers.
Deferred for 12 months I read.
Indeed.
Perfect for Moyes. Out of the spotlight of the English media somewhat, guaranteed to win trophies regardless of how crap he makes them.
I tried to put it as nicely as I could :/
