BOF Posted May 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2013 Clicky Manchester United appoints new manager • Manchester United Board unanimously approves the recommendation of Sir Alex Ferguson • Moyes to take the helm on 1 July • Committed to long-term in 6 year deal NYSE:MANU, Manchester UK. David Moyes will take over as the Manager of Manchester United from the 2013/14 season. David, 50, has been the Everton manager since 2002, joining after a successful spell as manager of Preston North End. Announcing his successor, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of Assistant Manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this Club.” Sir Bobby Charlton said: “I have always said that we wanted the next manager to be a genuine Manchester United man. In David Moyes, we have someone who understands the things that make this such a special club. We have secured a man who is committed to the long-term and will build teams for the future as well as now. Stability breeds success. “David has tremendous strength of character and recognises the importance of bringing young players through and developing them alongside world class talent. At United, I think David will be able to express himself. I’m delighted he has accepted and I’m looking forward to working with him.” Ed Woodward, said: “In David Moyes, we have secured the services of an outstanding manager who has all the skills to build on the phenomenal legacy in place today. I have no doubt that he will bring an energy and commitment to deliver winning football that is part of the fabric of this Club. In this respect, he is cut from the same cloth as the Old Trafford greats who go before him. “I have been very impressed by David’s personal and managerial traits, which reflect the Manchester United values. I have no doubt that he will embrace, and soon become an integral part of, United’s unique culture and heritage.” Joel Glazer said: “I am very pleased David has agreed to lead Manchester United into the future. His hard working style and steely determination and are characteristics we value at the Club. He has impressed as a coach for many years now and we strongly believe he will be able to take up from where Alex is leaving off by continuing this Club’s tradition of flair football played by exciting, world class players.” Avie Glazer said: “The search for a new manager has been very short. Alex was very clear with his recommendation and we are delighted that David has agreed to accept the job. He comes to us with excellent credentials and a strong track record. I know he is keen to get started and Ed will be sitting down with him as soon as the season is over to discuss plans for the summer and beyond." David Gill said: “I’m delighted that David has agreed to join Manchester United. He has done a terrific job at Everton and has all the qualities that we are looking for in a manager to succeed Alex.” David Moyes said: “It’s a great honour to be asked to be the next Manager of Manchester United. I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the Football Club. “I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn’t something that comes around very often and I’m really looking forward to taking up the post next season. “I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and Board of Directors and a great set of players. Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table. “Everton’s fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players. Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life.” David will be introduced to the world as the Manager of Manchester United in due course.

R.I.C.O. Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) For the extreme expectation levels of all gloryhunting plastic mancs throughout the world, David Moyes will be a complete disaster. But then again any of the immediate successors to Taggart always were going to be. He deserves his chance with Man Utd but the expectation levels are just too great for a manager that has never won anything or really had to manage a team of superstars, and I can't imagine him getting anywhere near the refs like whiskyface. He doesnt have the presence of Ferguson either and doesnt play mindgames. I can see a collective sigh of relief from all the PL refs now that's he's left the scene. They'll be lucky to finish 4th next season on the lack of all those dodgy decisions alone. Edited May 9, 2013 by R.I.C.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted May 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yaaay! I'm glad Moyes has got the job. I can't see them being the same force they have been anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 6 Year £30m contract eh? I feel a popcorn gif coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 6 Year £30m contract eh? I feel a popcorn gif coming on. To be fair, at Everton he was already one of the highest paid managers in the league. It was the only way they could keep him there for so long with no money to spend on players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturdaygig Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Everton will crash and burn without him. Their best players will go (some to Utd) without Moyes to keep them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Everton will be in a relegation battle next season, and at the first sign of any bad form from Man Utd David Moyes will be completely undermined by the calls for Ferguson to step in. Both clubs will perform seriously below there expectation levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Well with the way the current game is going every team bar the biggest 6 will be in a relegation battle next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 On further reflection I dont think Moyes will be that bad. if he keeps the big power players onside like Giggs, Ferdinand, Vidic, Scholes, Evra and maybe RVP then he be grand and no reason to think he wont. One thing eh will have to do is be less conservative in games than when at Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing eh will have to do is be less conservative in games than when at Everton Definitely. Added time aside, the reason United get so many late goals is because Fergie threw absolutely everything at the opposition late in games and it's no surprise that it would work every now and then.

The_Rev Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Who would Moyes take with him to Old Trafford then? I think Baines is probably better than Evra and Fellaini is good enough to fit into a midfield which is starting to look a bit like dads army.

Wonder if he'll have an eye on Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think United are fine for strikers. Even if Rooney leaves, which is looking increasingly likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
