Yes.


Although those are his words. But I've said before that I think it would be the decent thing for SAF to just disappear for a while, at least just watch the match from behind tinted glass in a box. Moyes was always going to have the ghost of SAF on his shoulders, but SAF is making it even harder for him!

Surely this comes down to whether a manager is good enough or not, not because the previous manager is sitting in the stand. Sir Matt was still around in Fergie's early years, he was there the night we won our first PL title.

Moyes needs to start acting like he belongs at the club, to keep referring to the club in the third person doesn't help. He also needs to cut out the negativity and excuses...transitional period, tough fixture list, injuries etc...all part and parcel of the game. He could do with showing some 'power and control'. After the Newcastle game he admitted his plan was to take RVP off after 60mins, but he didn't because he thought he would be accused of ''you don't know what you're doing''. Really? It's alright being honest, but not when it shows you up to bowing down to external pressures, thus weakening your own authority.


When he was appointed I couldn't decide whether he was a good choice or not. I still can't. He should be given time but I'm losing confidence that he'll use it wisely...

There is a muddled/vague feeling to both his tactics and interviews so far at utd. i wonder if players feel the same in meetings


I firmly believe having appointed him he has to be given 2 seasons but in general I agree with RD - teh whole "fergie over the shoulder" thing is, or at least should be, inconsequential

Agree, he even dithered over Fellaini. Why buy a player for their release clause when you can wait and pay an extra ?3-4m?

Interesting that Rio openly complained about Moyes' last minute team selection.


The more I think about it, the more there are lots of little things that have all added up to the perfect storm...better batten down the hatches!

Agree with the slap, but also agree with what Rio said, as I would've thought most players want time to get psyched up before a game.


BR, you need to calm down, you're going to do yourself a mischief...

Just now on Sky sports following the end of the Galatasaray v Juve game, Alan McCanally(hope that's how its spelt) was asked "would Manchester United fancy playing Galatasaray" to which he responded "No, the way United are playing at the moment they won't fancy playing anyone!"

I was jesting as Mac has started separate threads from this one on for instance the downfall of Man Utd.

And Jah doesn't like people deviating from his footie thread as he used to be a headmaster and is a bit a stickler for the old rules innit.

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
