If there's one thing I learned with last summer is that odds changing like that doesn't mean much.

I remember Neil Lennon went from like 30s to 5s in about an hour for us.

Pretty much this, although...

Let's be honest, when you saw the likes of Lennon, Hughes, Benitez, Neville, Stubbs and Pulis all have their odds slashed with regards to being our manager you still sorta crapped one. I know I did.

Bloody right I did.

Imagine if Alan Stubbs was our manager right now. Go on Imagine it.
 

If you had said to me, a year ago, that we would be the winners from this episode I'd have probably said 'hmm' right now though, it's you're absolutely right.
 
Just realised LOL...

My wife's little cousin is an Everton fan, but a huge Moyes fan (?). Anyway he normally goes and watches Everton but asked for Man U tickets for his birthday so he could give Moyes some support... He got them.

They are for this weekend v Norwich. He has basically got tickets to watch Man United.

He had made a big 'support Moyes' banner too :)

He will be devastated!!!
 
The sad thing is if Moyes was still in charge would we have been dissapointed with 7th place on 57 points?

Of course not. People would be saying we're punching above our weight being in the top ten, progress is being made but we're too simple to see the bigger picture, what more could we expect, at least we're not Villa etc.

Such was life under Mr. Negative.

I appreciate I am going completely against the grain here, but I for one am sorry his tenure at Old Trafford has ended in the way it has. I think it reflects very badly on the owners of the club, regardless of whether Moyes was up for the job or not (that is a different discussion).

The whole episode has been a disaster for all concerned from the start to end.

I think from the moment he was engaged in discussions with United, either through SAF or officially with the club he has (i) been very poorly advised (ii) he has completely misjudged what he was being offered, (iii) what he was expected to do, and (iv) the amount of support he would receive from the owners of Manchester United.

With the Glazers in charge finding the replacement they want may prove more difficult than anyone believes.

Does it reflect badly on the owners ? I'm not so sure, they had to decide now either to stick with Moyes or to sack him, it's a big summer for them and if it went wrong under Moyers they would be in the s**t. Would he have lasted any longer at any other big team, Barca, Real Madrid Munich don't think so myself.

Was he poorly advised ? may be but that's why you pay big bucks to employ an adviser I know that doesn't guarantee he will get it right.

If he misjudged what he was being offered then more fool him, I along with every football fan new what the job entailed succeeding SAF, he must've known the enormity of the task, and the scrutiny he would be under both from the fans and the media. Sure it was an aging side and needed rebuilding but of his summer transfer targets not one signed for him except Fell, and for me that was a panic buy. Did he deserve to be treated the way he was probably, but for me he never got treated any worst than any other manager who's been in his position.

Is he old enough to be lamped in the jaw?
