There are a lot of similarities here to when Frank O'Farrell took over from Sir Matt Busby. An ageing team past its best and in desperate need of rebuilding, one "superstar"- player for Rooney see George Best and a manager though well respected not quite up to the job.

The game has changed (probably for the worse) since those days. I'm not sure 'losing the dressing room' was even a concept back then, as players were paid a fraction of what they are now and player power was a horrifying vision of the future.

Is anyone actually surprised that Moyes has been bounced? It was obvious pretty early on he was out his depth. I'm surprised he's lasted as long as he has. Perhaps if he hadn't been SAF's chosen one, he may have been shown the exit far earlier. Was it just case of saving face by hanging on to him for so long because he was was Fergies boy?

Yes - maybe he will have to work again RD, when MU stop paying him in 2019. ;)

Moyes would not fit Spurs at all. He just doesn't do attacking football.


The thing that gets me about this is simply how much the players seem to have publically undermined him. I think clubs should fine players everytime they speak out of line on social media, they are paid massive sums of money, and that should be enough to buy their loyalty.

You and I both know that is a very idealistic view, very very few players are loyal regardless of the obscene amounts they receive.

Didn't stop them employing AVB. But joking aside, it does make you wonder why he got the Utd job, he wasn't known for open, attacking football. Maybe Fergie thought he would adapt to Utd???...

One theory for the timing of his sacking Mick is that there was a break clause that could be triggered if Utd didn't qualify for the CL. This coincided with the Everton defeat. Apparently a rep of the LMA is at OT discussing his severence package, he'll do well to get ?10m...

Will be interesting to see if there is any truth in that - if it is true then Man United are smarter than I thought - but also slightly pessimistic (turned realistic) in looking towards the prospect of non performance.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
