Moyes In/Moyes Out - Revolving Door Co. [R]

They also had allowed the quality of the squad to degrade far enough that they couldn't patch their cracks quickly enough to get back into the top 4 immediately. Even if the worst happens and we did tumble to say 7th this year with a competent manager in next year we'd only be about two good signings short of being amongst the favorites for the league again. Pulling a Liverpool is a terrible thought and there is a threat there to keep in mind but it will take several years of the level of incompetence we've witnessed for the last 4 months or so.

I don't think Moyes will be given a long enough leash to do that level of damage. The key will be making a proper manager choice next time which means no BS one man committee pulling it out of his ass, even if the one man is Fergie. There is still lots of time to rescue this from getting really bleak, not just this year but in the next several years.

 

David Moyes is Massimo Taibi in disguise.

 

I know where you are coming from but there are a couple of factors to put things in proper perspective.

Despite having the highest revenues by a mile, we are behind both Chelsea and City as far as capacity to spend is concerned and not that much ahead of your lots. So in terms of actual potential to improve the team by spending, we are not that far away from dropping to 4th.

The second factor is that at least in my opinion (and I know @The Jitty Slitter agrees with me) we are not too far away from the digital rights revolution, where clubs start making most of their money by selling legalized streams/digital content. Much like how Liverpool's demise coinciding with the Sky revolution in football made it even worse, this would be the worst time to start dropping in the entertainment scales.

 

...

 

Why should this be a throwaway season while we wait for Moyes to learn on the job? This is not 1986.

Considering the shenanigans done in the transfer market by upper management this summer, I have no doubt they will stick with Moyes this whole season no matter how bad it gets.

 

Moyes should never have brought his entire staff from Everton. I mean he was not coming from Barca or Madrid. Even if he is a qualified talented coach, does that mean that the Everton coaches are on a level necessary for Man Utd? That was the first bad sign for me.

 

Moyes is a casual manager and we're playing casually as a team. Compare Moyes attitude to SAF and it's easy to see why the team looks so nonchalant.

Moral of the story... He needs to go. I'm officially starting the Moyes out, Klopp in campaign.

 

Klopp is not going to come in mid-season. He has a good gig at Dortmund. The only viable scenario is Moyes out, Fergie in on an emergency basis until the end of the year. His hip op went well, so I think this is not far fetched at all.

I think if these results continue he will be back by Christmas.

 

This is going to be a fun winter period.

 

Well, on the bright side, I know what my Xmas list will contain.

 

A beginner's guide to being a football hipster?

 

LMAO...

Sure, does it mean I have to worship oezil?

 

Well, as the cliche goes, he has never had a bad game.

 

In all seriousness, our offensive interplay right now is abysmal for our normal standards. And our self belief looks sapped and its not even October. And Moyes looks defeated already which scares the crap out of me.

 

Serious question. If this type of form and results continue, how long should we give Moyes?

 

If it were up to a lot of us, he would have been let go after the signing of Fellaini.

 

I would have never hired him, he has no CV to run a billion dollar business.

And no, Fergie's CV when he joined United was massively superior.

 

I would not have hired him either. Fact is he is here now, and the question is what do we do going forward.

 

Fire him immediately before he causes any more damage?

 

I would ask him to invent an illness to his wife or something on those lines so that he can bow out gracefully.

 

ala Vince McMahon

 

Norwegian league season ends in November. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might be the best option we could get mid-season.
