Moyes sacked by United

It’s good to see David Moyes back on telly, talking about how he’s ready to get back into management.


If BBC3 aren’t making a fly-on-the-wall show about him at the moment though they are missing a massive opportunity.

What Davie Did Next would be simply phenomenal. There’s definitely a dismantled Corby trouser press in there somewhere and an uncomfortable scene in a leisure club car park where the lease company come to take Manchester United’s Merc back.

‘Just give me a minute, I need to make a call.’

A bit of shaky camerawork, implying some jostling.

‘Tim, Tim, I know I said warts and all but I need a bit of privacy and I just need to speak to Ed to sort this out. Can you just give me a minute.’

A long, slightly skewed zoom across the car park shows Moyes gesticulating angrily and pacing up and down the David Lloyd reception before eventually switching off his phone and rubbing his eyes resignedly.

‘Right then, ok. I’ve cleared that up. A bit of an admin error at United’s end, so the car will have to go back for now. Tim, is there room for me in the van if you move some of that gear?’

Moyes then reaches into the pocket of his slacks and the sheepish-looking lease company rep holds his hand out only for the former Celtic and Shrewsbury centre-half to launch the bunch of keys long and high into a row of trees. He then climbs stiffly into the back of the van, straightens himself up and stares forward, saying nothing.

A long, long pause.

‘Were your house keys not on that fob, David?’

Fade to black.

I think this is just a new edition with an updated chapter on Wee Davey.

What can you say about this?

Either Ferguson is lying about not recommending Moyes or the latter has told a string of porkies all through the whole fiasco.

I reckon it is Ferguson who is lying.

Well it makes you wonder about the mentality of a man who "wrote" a biography when he won the treble, then another when he retired, (fair enough I guess), and then another a year later when his chosen replacement didnt reflect that well on his judgement.

Very surprised if I am honest. Thought he was above that.
 
The purple nosed [Poor language removed] admitted that he told David not to sign a new contract with Everton in February 2013. He told David he would be the new Manchester United manager then.

For NYSE rules the board at United had to be informed he was retiring by 31st March.

He was the sole reason why the Glazers took David on. Sir Bobby agreed to but his influence on the board is comparatively low.

I'm not going to lie here but David Gill, the outgoing CEO fought for Mourinho. Ed Woodward didn't have a say. He was happy to go with whomever was given the choice. The Glazers trusted the judgement of the lying, self interested man and took David on. The majority believed it was the correct call. To this day I maintain at the time of the new job being available David had the correct values, and was the correct man to take the job.

United were under the rule for one man for 27 years. It's only when you go into the club which we did when we took over how "out of touch" the establishment was. Not that it was a bad thing. It worked for him because he saw it all unfold under his reign. Things were ticking along for years and years and suddenly a change happened that no one within the club knew or remembered the feeling of what it's like. It was actually quite surreal. The modern football club goes through transitions of players, managers, staff, behind the scenes workers. But at United things were untouched for God knows how long because that's how they've operated since he came in back in 1986.

But any new manager had to get his stamp and it required a lot of rebuilding, as you can see now with the new guy.

I've moved on personally and as much as it hurts how it panned out, for Manchester United having a period where they modernise in terms of having managerial cycles as opposed to one man dictating will be better in the current football climate.
