Moeys will get maximum 1 year with the mancs before he is sacked, he could be their Hodgson though and not even finish the season.

 

my guess is gone early 2014, Ferguson in for rest of the season

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Man U already are hard to beat.

 

They're hard to beat for entirely different reasons, though. Mainly because they can score one more goal than you. It's not about camping and elbows. Fucking hell, am I talking Russian in this thread? Moyes side weren't hard to beat, and only being hard to beat isn't enough for United.

[The Golden Eel]

Hey definitely going to have told cope with much more pressure, be interesting to see how it goes, I think they'll be considerably worse in the short term

The knives will be out for him very quickly if they have a shaky start. There is no such thing as patience in the mind of the modern football fan.

[RedinSweden]

I hope that's not a dig at what i think it is, and if it is, it's a completely cunty thing to say.

 

Nah, I reckon it was inadvertant. Newport is sound and wouldn't have meant it like that. I think he just means Moyes as manager is a plane crash.

[Magic Sponge]

Got beat in his first game in charge.

I really think it could go either way, but you're right, it will depend on the first two months. If they're still in the top 4 and within 5 points or so of first/second at the end of October, then the press will start to "rally behind him" and the like and he will be given a season or two. If, however, he's out of the top 4 and/or more than a game or two from a league challenge, it will get ugly very quickly. I could easily see fan protests, rumours in the tabloids of "losing the dressing room," etc. Basically, they have a decent chance of turning into a less-successful version of Chelsea in very short order.

 

Still, even under Moyes I think there's too much talent there for him to completely bollocks it up in one season. They'll finish 3rd or so, and if they get lucky and have a decent cup run or two their fans will be reasonably pleased IMO.

I would love to see this happen, but I can't see it. There is an outside chance it all snowballs and gets completely away from him if it goes sideways in the first month or two, but assuming he's still on stable ground in October then there's every chance he'll be there for a couple of seasons. Which, all things considered, might be better for us than them sacking him quickly and getting a quality manager in.

:D:D

[Bobby Hundreds]

I still think he will do well and he'll get more patience from the club than from the fans due to ferguson backing him.

Fair do's. In that case, I apologise.

[RedinSweden]

Fair do's. In that case, I apologise.

 

It was fair enough to call him on it.

[RedinSweden]

Fair do's. In that case, I apologise.

 

And repped for being a good egg.

 

More of this ff types!

His comments yesterday on Rooney were that of a man already feeling pressure. At Everton, nobody really gives a shit how they do in preseason and they would only have a handful of journos at press conferences. Id say he has had more scrutiny prior to the Thai XI game than he had during a PL game in Goodison.

[Magic Sponge]

Made a bid for Fabregas apparently.

I'm getting the impression they are forcing him out whilst trying to make the fans think it is his own doing

That is very possible. I see Spanish media were saying he was in Spain last week after picking up that 'injury'.

 

He would be a big loss for them IMO unless they replace him with a top forward. Despite not being in top form last season he was still their second top scorer and has been up there for the last number of seasons.

[Megadrive Man]

Will Barcelona really let Fabregas go having just sold Thiago?

 

Xavi turns 34 in January, so it would be a clear sign that they don't think Fabregas is up to it any more if they agree to sell him.

[MLB]

Made a bid for Fabregas apparently.

 

 

This is almost as pointless as Arsenal bidding for Suarez.

[Anubis]

Now Giggs has a coaching role I'm beginning to think Moyes is holding the fort till Ryan is anointed, at which point the boggle-eyed one will be unceremoniously shunted aside.

[Newport]

??!

 

I honestly didn't think about that.

[Gnasher]

The mancs lose again!! Moyes gets all tetchy with the press, he already looks under pressure. If this carries on it won't take much for all the spoilt brats in the side to follow rooneys lead and start acting the billy big bollocks and start throwing toys out of the pram. They got a tough start to the season.

[Gnasher]

If i was moriiniho i'd do a gerrard in reverse. Make a massive bid for rooney, offer him astronomical wages, have him down at stamford bridge and then right before the season starts send him back to manchester. Say he failed the medical, not fit enough. That'd fuck em.

[Jhinge Machha]

need swansea to beat them in the opening game, and we will see the cunts getting restless as they have chelsea and us after

Opening day games have a habit of throwing up some surprise results. Pretty sure United haven't started that good either the past few seasons.

I would think the worst he would get away with from the opening three games would be two draws and a win. Anything worse than that or even one defeat out the first three games would see media and fan pressure unlike anything he has been through before.
