Damn it, I wanted Meulensteen to stay 
It's not unsual for a new manager to bring his own staff with him, it's much a do about nothing in my opinion.
May good for them to have a clean break from the Fergie era, from what I've read he was asked to stay on in a lesser role coaching a youth team, he didn't fancy it so has decided to move on, I wish him well, I like Rene.
Scholes and Nicky Butt are coming in as coaches.

The club wanted stability and consistency, part of that was the back room staff and the way the club was run.
Getting rid of Steele is the most questionable decision, especially considering the fact he's learnt spanish and it's pretty publicly known the praise there's been for how much he's helped De Gea.
Rene was offered to go back to his old role, head of youth development. He asked for time to think it over, unsure if his decision has been as of yet.
Butt has been at the club working alongside the reserves for the whole of the season. It's not known if Scholes is or isn't joining up, he was under Fergie but when asked didn't know if he'd be offered a role.
I wouldn't say bringing in Phil Neville as number 2 is exactly filling me with confidence considering it'll be his first coaching role at all and has not long started his badges IIRC.
Too much change at once for a club that has gradual change isn't going to do it well. I'm not sure about changing winning staff to staff that haven't dealt with the size of club, players etc before either.

Steve Round also wears shorts quite a lot which means he will almost certainly be taking Mike Phelans place.
In all seriousness though, he seems to be a well respected coach, worked with England for a while I think. An Evertonian may be able to shed more light on him.

It was always going to happen - yes its a pity about Steele , due to the De Gea relationship, and Rene but otherwise its much about nothing.
It was always likely Moyes would bring in three or four of his own people and that looks like happening.
It might make the whole squad work that bit harder which wouldn't be a bad thing
edit - Given how much Monaco are spending just coming out of L2, how long does everyone expect them to be banned from European matches for due to FFP (surely all these mega - transfers have to be financed out of the owner's pocket rather than the club's actual finances) . Obviously its pretty irrelevant this season coming but come 14/15 .......... ( I suspect it will be ignored, but you never know)

Gazzetta in Italy are reporting today that Chelsea have opened talks to sign Cavani, and Man City did a while ago. Let the bidding war commence.
Also some rumours (via Tancredi Palmeri) that Real Madrid are preparing a €75m bid for Gareth Bale...

75m euro would get him imo infact, i'd rather we sold him for that. even though i don't think the big money rumours would effect him in the same way it did modric, i don't want to go through another scenario like that. still no confirmation of whether he has signed a new deal.
talks going to go ahead between spurs and villa's agent apparently.

It seems a little odd to have two very similar players in Ronaldo and Bale playing in the same Madrid side. Who would take free kicks. That and the fact that Ronaldo is given free reign to shoot at will and generally disregard the rest of the team I don't know why Bale would go there.
To play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, the money, the lifestyle, to become of the biggest transfers, world wide fame, to make his ego bigger, to play with one of the best players in the world, etc etc.
