Seen his some quotes from his presser what a f*****g joke! The worst one is we are creating a lot of opportunities but just not putting them away. WTF we struggle to get any shots on target most games and so non exsistent as an attacking force, what a load of tosh. Then all he can say I have 6 yr contract with big grin on his face.
I realy do hate his Cheshire Cat grin. We create chances but fail to put them away, pull the other one moyes unless you consider 80+ crosses as a chance then yeah, things are tip top. If he spends this ?100+ million in the summer and things don't dramatically improve then united are ****** as any new manager wouldn't have the biggest kitty to work with. This is why I say get shot of him now, line up a top replacement for the summer who will want to bring in his own type of footballer playing a decent brand of football .
And create a bigger one when you realise that you can't replace him with anybody other than Giggs
Van gaal or klopp with g. Nev or giggs as no2 would be good. You've have the experienced manager with a no2 who know united inside out and thus understands what it means to have the privilidge to wear the famous shirt and play at a stadium that been home to some of the greatest players in history.
So what? This season is gone either way. Its not exactly unusual to have temporary manager finish the season. You of all people should know.
I'm sure giggs isn't the only one who'd want the United job.
Nope, but the issue is how it affects transfer business though.
Are Mata, Rooney, RVP, Kagawa, Rafael, De Gea, Vidic, Jones, Smalling, Evra, Carrick, Fellaini, Januzaj, Nani etc mid-table players? We have an aging squad, but it should still be good enough to clinch top 4, not stumbling all the way to 7th.
People keep saying how we need to change the whole of our squad and how our current squad is ****-poor and Moyes needs to rebuild, but they conveniently forget the fact that we had already invested 67 million into the squad this season, which is way more than any team in EPL except for City. Chelsea has a net spending of 53 million, Arsenal 32.5 million, Liverpool 20.3 million while Spurs and Everton even made 3.8 million and 16.5 million this season, and they are all placed comfortably above us in the league. Do you really think that the squad that won last season's title is so far behind all the other teams that even if we invested way more money than they had we are still nowhere close to them? So how much money would you give Moyes to spend? 200-300 million? Ugh.

Except they haven't conviently forgotten this (you've made that up). They just haven't forgotten that we have needed a CM/midfield for years, and a left back (possibly two), and a new winger. We also now need a right back. 3 of those need to be excellent. How much do you think that will cost?
Yes but he has shown us f all why we should trust him with our transfer business ...
That's not really my point. What he has shown us, and what he has done in the background in terms of prep are two entirely different things. Its the latter that the club will have seen and will be concerned about.
On the defender note, there's plenty of rumours going around that Benatia's snubbed a move to United, on grounds of him just having moved to Roma, playing great football and likely going to be in the CL next season.
I'm running out of popcorn gifs. :-/
So a team that won the league last year needs an excellent new CM, left back, right back and winger to achieve top 4? I'm not talking about who we need to sign or where we need to strengthen, but the fact that Moyes had been given the financial support to invest into the squad and yet the team seemed to have declined drastically and not even anywhere close to the bear minimum that one should expect from a manager of a top club.
I'm getting tired of this notion that our current squad is horrendous and are right where they belong. We do not have the best squad, but it is a squad that is more than capable of achieving top 4, especially after a 67 million investment.
Yup. Last year's squad certainly needed some refreshment - but those already arrived in form of Fellaini and Mata. Those two would significantly strengthen almost any squad in the world, and should definitely be enough to keep Premier League champions playing on top 4 level.
Moyes has already spent heavy and there's no visible improvement.
What? He's been easily amongst the best players these last couple of weeks when he healed his injury.
