Yep I'm serious. He has a worse record than our dear resent departed Dave sexton. If fact he has a worse record than our relegation year. Give him two years.....think of the damage. BLAME THE CHUFFING YANKS

I doubt it, I seem to remember putting a post on a couple of years ago that said we would swap places with them within three years

Time might be wrong Ian but its on its way mate.
They had it too good for too long
Now the manager merry go round will start at OT like most other clubs.

Really, as of 10 days ago he had the best win ratio of any manager in Utds history bar SAF.. according to the Guardian IIRC..

[Carlos the Jackal]

You might find he has the worst home record

I can’t work out my most preferred result for the rags this season. Would a total collapse result in Moyes being sacked and the team being re-tooled in the Summer? That would of course mean no Champions League and no Europa League. Or would it be better to see them lose in the Champions League, lose in the Capital One Cup, and then finish 5th in the Premier League? That would put them in the Europa and probably save Moyes for at least one more season and probably cause them to evaluate their roster though they wouldn't really go crazy as they would feel that they were really pretty close with their current staff.

I'm thinking a 5th place finish would be the best result as that would result in them playing in the Europa which forces teams to play on Thursdays which would further hurt them in the Premier League. They would then have a lot of added pressure and would very likely push back them doing what they would really need to do to fix their problems and therefore extend their agony

My only worry of a quick decline is that the Yankee shysters may sell to someone with real money.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to who know's how to play with their balls. All the managers and all the training in the world counts for nothing if they are useless with their balls control.

Jesus Danbert are you are OK? A post resembling sense...

[Richard Head]

I can't decide which is most entertaining, United's increasingly inept performances or Moyes's bizarre
ramblings at his after match press conferences. To me the guy looks like he is losing it, can't see him seeing the season out. Is he the only person in the country who didn't think it should have been a free kick in the build up to Giggsy slotting home the first goal.

[Danbert Nocurry]

Manchester United have lost 3 games in 2014. It is January 7th hahahaha

[Stagger]

Keep up the good work Danbert. Loving it.
