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.

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
