Bill Kenright looks absolutely devastated. Speaks volumes for the great job Moyes did there.

Now I know how Utd fans felt when Hodgson signed

Delighted, I thought the special one was going to jump in. I am greedy and want him back at the bridge

I see Liverpool fans here rejoicing,maybe now ye might actually finish higher than 7th now that Moyes is gone.
Plus unlike Liverpool,United won't go into decline as ye are hoping,sure everybody knows that Liverpools decline came about when the back pass rule was brought in.

First time I've been able to laugh at United's managerial position.

:rolleyes: It's morronic setences like this one that really bring down the whole tone of any thread. At best I believe Liverpool were actualy the number 1 rated team in European competition using a 5 year co efficient system during the Rafa days.

It's people that don't take into account the context of what is being replied to that end up talking horseshìt like yourself, but carry on...

This is to do with Moyes and United not Liverpool?

As if you wouldn't go into their thread and have a laugh if they appointed a let's say "iffy" manager.

While I think Moyes was always the appointment that would be placed, the only thing that concerns (and excites) me is that this is the biggest managerial appointment in my life time. It needs a lot more ego than Moyes has. The 6 year contract is stunning! A true sign of faith from United.

Time will tell. But I do think the pros out weigh the cons.

I don't think Moyes is going to be as bad as others might believe. Hopefully Liverpool can make a bit of hay while the sun shines but i don't know if it will be shining for long.

Rafa for Everton now..... Cos look at the terrible job he's done at chelsea.

Well they are here so why not post it in this thread,no need to go have a laugh if they appoint an iffy manager,they do a good job of tearing each other to bits after a bad result.

Don't be so precious.

Good luck to David Moyes. He has a great squad at his disposal apart from a few that should be cut loose asap.

Oh you're here,where's Rarnes gone? See he's been in gloating already.

Haven't you lot more important things to worry about,like how you are going to spend the massive £20 million which will help you qualify for the Europa League next season?

You can give it but get all whiny when it's given back at you.

Best of luck to Moyes, think he merits a shot at the job without doubt. He is what Man Utd would look for in a manager (Other than ability). He has the loyalty, passion and will immerse himself into the clubs history. Did great at Everton and I always thought if he had the same transfer budget as a big team he could be in the run for trophies but never did have that at his disposal. Cant wait for next season already!

Anything from Fergie was going to be a disappointment. Wouldn't have been in my top 5 of replacements but we have to get behind him now and give him time.

I think it's more of the fact that there is a degree of uncertainty about the appointment.

I read a comment on the Guardian that I agree with:

I'm delighted it's not Mourinho. I respect what he has achieved as a manager, but he brings too much baggage with him.

I think Moyes' appointment is a brave one. Like it or not, Man U are a corporate monolith, like every other major sports 'brand'. Yet there's something very old school about this appointment. No glitz. No glamour. It's just a guy getting a shot at the title, because he's earned it.

I'm very proud to be a Man U fan tonight.

That's it.

Mourinhio = trophies. However, he also equals baggage.

Moyes is seen as a gamble by most people for a club the size of ManU.

Cantona's Collars

Fergie's been coaching Moyes for years.

Cienciano

This is tough. I like Moyes, he deserves a big job and I'd like to see him do well. But at the same time, I want to see united go into decline.

Mr Whirly

Manuel Pellegrini

I agree that it's a brave move from utd.

With Moyes you get a classy and loyal manager who will have always have the clubs interests at heart. He won't tolerate any bull**** from his players and will expect 100% all the time.

I'm sad to see him go from Everton and I wish him all the best. There will be question marks over certain things. He doesn't like playing young players if he can help it so that will be interesting.

The reaction from Liverpool fans does not surprise me. If it's not a marquee name for signings they are not interested. That's what has them where they are.

All the best Moysey.

Mr Simpson

Manuel Pellegrini

Well, I was wrong. Can't say I'm not disappointed

What if he does a good job of helping Utd into decline? Does that work?

I think if any United fans are going to start s***ting on this before Moyes has even started at the job, they should take a long hard look at themselves and ponder if they really do support the club, or are they glory hunters. Is Moyes a Mourinho or a Guardiola? No. Is he a good manager? Very much so. He deserves a good shot at the job. Next year if we finish 3rd or 4th, maybe question him. Until then, I'm looking forward to this.

I think Und should be happy with 3rd or 4th in the interim

Manuel Pellegrini

They'll need to be happy or lump it. No club certainly no manager has a god given right to win everything and Moyes probably won't be landing a treble any time soon. He may not win anything next season but if he doesn't wreck the joint supporters need to be supportive and remain hopeful. Who knows how many transfer requests he may have to deal with or which transfer dealings will pan out if he has a clear out of under performers like Anderson, Nani, Young, Valencia etc.

Hell no,with the squad at his disposal I think Moyes will be looking to win the title,not just bedding himself into the job.He has the whole Summer and preseason to get things running his way and this will help enormously.

Very poor appointment.....up there with Hodgson to LFC, except Moyes will be expected to actually win things, and he just isn't a good manager.....average at best.

Say if Utd finish 3rd or 4th and win the fa cup, would you be happy with that?

What are your pre-requisites?

LOL.

At the poll, and at some of the comments.
