Zatman 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. Irish press have linked him with Coleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) I think they'll be fine, to be honest. And I also commend them for having a bit of common sense and appointing someone hoping for stability instead of instant success. No doubt Moyes will have to deal with insanely high expectations but I think he'll be given time to build his own team, as out of all the top teams Manure are probably the best position to allow a manager time to breath. The biggest question is Europe. It took Fergie a very long time to get the hang of it, will Moyes be given half the time to get to grips with it? I expect Everton to really struggle now for a few seasons, especially if their key players get snapped up, which I expect they will, as I think it was the manager that bound that club together.

CI Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Did SAF ever really get to grips with Europe ? You could argue they should have won more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mantis Posted May 9, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2013 I feel sorry for the other refs. Howard Webb gets all the credit for his services to Man United but what about the likes of Dowd? He must feel pretty unappreciated. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I wonder if Man Utd fans will give Howard Webb a standing ovation as well when he retires. Edited May 10, 2013 by Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't recommend McLeish for the Man U though did he. Ferguson didn't write that letter of recommendation for our sakes, he wrote it to help out a former player get a new job. He didn't give a **** if it was a crap move for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Fellaini yes , Baines possibly. Wonder if he'll have an eye on Benteke Cant see it, Moyes isn't one to have too many great strikers on the books. He'll play with one striker, RVP and use Hernandez as his backup I imagine. Even if Rooney leaves I can't see him buying somebody like Benteke to replace him. Think he'll play 4-2-3-1 De Gea Rafael Jones Vidic Baines Carrick Fellaini Valencia Kagawa Young* RVP *But possibly a new signing. (However, when Villa were on our spending spree though I always thought a Baines+Young combination would be lethal, different styles of wing play giving some variation from out wide. Not as good, but similar to how I think Walker + Downing had quite a good partnership for us under Houllier. But I digress.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I really felt for him just now on MotD. His speech at the end of the game, just looking out at the stands from the centre circle and thinking to himself "I did this" must have been an amazing experience. Fair play to the bloke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly like the bloke, and I'm nowhere near a fan of United. But it was a nice moment. Must have been very emotional for him and everyone else. It really will be so so strange to see United without him in charge next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Absolute legend and I have nothing but respect for the bloke, wish him all the best in the future and how weird is it gonna be seeing someone else in the utd dugout, sad day for football that the greatest manager of all time has quit football, I hate united and their fans and I used to hate fergie when I was younger but I learnt to respect him as the years went on, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
