Guess it's not a big shock.

I didn't read all the way down. Not crazy about that.

I´ve got to admit, I expected them to slump, but not this much.

To be fair, much is not his fault, but I´m still of the opinion that even with ´his´players, this job is too big for him.

United really bombed this year in both transfer windows.

What would need to be done even with a new manager? Get rid of all the older players, a massive influx of new transfers?

Making some semi-decent tactical decisions would be a fine start.

Ferguson had been doing some stopgap signings for awhile there, and the Pogba situation was absolutely baffling.

For Moyes it can't be a good feeling seeing SAF at every game.

I don't really follow them, they don't seem very interesting to me this season, so I have no clue what their issues are.

No, no it can´t. Many think he was the godfather of Moyes, but it´s looking like Ferguson made sure someone would come in that wouldn´t show him up (and erode some of his legacy).

Doubt he was concerned with that. It's not like it's really possible. Would have been easier to protect his legacy if he stayed an extra year and spent a couple hundred million.

This is 100% the answer, because it's 100% the problem.

No, what´s he´s achieved can´t be questioned, for sure. However, were someone to have come in and torn it up this season, would have taken a bit of lustre off, for sure.

The fact of the matter is that Moyes needs more time. I think given some time he could probably adjust. Not to the level we are used to, but top 4 quality again without a doubt. I'd be fine with giving him more time, HOWEVER

he's literally shown nothing, absolutely nothing. His team selections have been subpar, his tactics and unwillingness to adjust (which is odd for him b/c apparently he's supposed to be some kind of reactionary tactical genius) have been awful.

I'll say it again, I think given another year he could and would improve but I think it's too late. He's lost the confidence of the fans, and is borderline losing the locker room it appears. I hate to say it because I don't want the position to become a revolving door, but he's got to go. Give me Kloppo or someone with experience managing a massive club with massive players.

:upvote:

Give him a good 7 or 8 years. Genius needs time.

Klopp from Dortmund. I might have just made that nickname up. I'm pretty sure I heard it somewhere though. Probably this board.
