Manchester United Thread

BBC Sports Editor David Bond: "David Moyes is set to be appointed as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United. An announcement could be made tomorrow afternoon."


*fingers crossed*
 
Well, we do like our value managers:
Approx NET transfer spend, Fergie era (since Nov86): #cfc £726m (3 titles); #mcfc £538m (1); #lfc £331m (2); #mufc £307m (13); #afc £58m (5)

Moyes is respected in the league. You won`t find 1 person to say anything nasty about him. I just wonder if Baines and Fellani are heading to OT w/ him.

Here's a useless stat related to money:

Manchester City trophies in the last 40 years without spending a billion quid: 0
Manchester City trophies in the last 40 years having spent a billion quid: 2

Now maybe it's nothing to do with Mansour, but something seems to correlate...
 
I'm reading Moyes sued Rooney and won.£10m ? I can see Chels putting a big bid for Rooney. That will give Mutd options.

That was a long time ago, certainly didn't hear a value anywhere near that. Moyes and Rooney made up in the press in 2010, though obviously don't know anymore than the public view.

I can't tell where Rooney is at. He could stay and be a cornerstone of this team, or maybe he does want to try something new, abroad. Either way I'd respect his decision - he's on track to be the all time highest scorer for Manchester United. No mean feet.

First of all, MASSIVE RESPECT FOR SIR ALEX FERGUSON, THANK YOU! :WORSHIP::WORSHIP::WORSHIP:

So about Beach's formation... would be interesting to see if Valencia would improve his form next season, because I don't see how any other manager besides SAF would play him so much if he plays like he does now.

I must say, you are pretty decent at trolling almost anything Utd.

I'm not concerned about any potential abyss. It will happen again eventually, SAF or no SAF. Still not too worried about falling out of the title challenger category all together. The more likely thing to happen is that we may not be able to maintain the tenacity to always have a shot at virtually any trophy during the season. It s still a strange and somewhat shocking thought but life is a bit more interesting with a little change every now and then.

Nope Mancini has still never won a European trophy, despite having two very, very formidable squads. In fact I think the best he's ever managed is a semi-final.

Moyes got Everton that far in the Europa League I believe.
:SMUG:
 
Ronaldo celebrated today's goal at Real Madrid by beating his chest (crest side) and screaming "I'M STAYING HERE!" in Spanish. End of.

Well that doesn't sound hopeful.

He probably just meant he wouldnt hop on the plane to Manchester that very evening. He didnt even have time to pack his suitcase yet.

If only european cups count, Fergie has been a pretty poor manager :P
 
Oh and now all the journos are collectively agreeing Rooney has asked to leave again. Joy.

What a summer that'd be. Lose Fergie. Lose Rooney. Scholes retires again. Mourinho to Chelsea. City to buy Dortmund.

Exciting stuff.

Reached more finals than anyone else in his tenure. True, he was shown up twice in a row by that Barcelona team, but that team may go down in history as the best club team in the world.

He's won 3. Hardly weak. It's another myth the scousers in particular like to peddle.

Also worth noting that the strongest United team in the early/mid 90's weren't allowed to field their full team due to the rules.

But you're clearly on a WUM evening, so I should probably just start ignoring you.

Yes it's a glorious day for Manchester City - who should be revelling now that they will find it a bit easier to buy their title next year.
