    One more season please.
    I don't think it's just the players not wanting to play for him I think that there is a lack of quality there now.

    I've just posted this in the other games thread:

    I don't think it's just the manager that's the issue, he is obviously a significant part but look the players they have lost or are about to lose through age: Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Giggs and look at who has replaced them, the likes of Smalling, Jones and Evans.

    Their central midfield is getting on a bit, both Carrick and Fletcher are in their 30's now and the likes of Cleverly and Fellaini haven't looked like they could displace them.

    Also look at the players that have regressed over recent years, two or three years ago the likes of Nani, Valencia and Young were considered good players (they paid between £15 and 20m for each for them). You can add van Persie to this list as well, he looks a shadow of the player who was banging in goals for them last season and Arsenal previously.

    Sure some of these might improve under a new manager but the likes of Nani, Valencia and Young were as poor last season, while their defenders have probably played at a similar level to what the did previously they may improve a little but basically I think that this is their level.
    For years we've been looking at their squad and seeing a decline in quality and waiting for this to happen, but Ferguson managed to keep it all together by one means or another. Now that that aspect is gone I think that they are being shown for what they are. I don't see that squad winning the title regardless of who the manager is. They need a serious overhaul. I'd just like Moyes to be the one to do it
    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        Of course he does. Just like Roy Hodgson, if they were successful at one thing you carry doing the same thing all over again.
        Are we winning?

          What an absolute bell end - perfect Manc fan stereotype. Evolution skipped a few families in the Manchester area it seems.

            Cant see Moyes surviving

            Hes sounding more and more like Roy every day

                Nope There was a huge thing made of it at the time, he named an unchanged side on what would have been the 100th game. They were crestfallen!

                    Van Gaal to United doesn't worry me. The prospect of them appointing Ancallotti however terrifies me.

                    Van Gaal's reputation is based largely on the fantastic work he did at Ajax some 20 years ago.

                    His spell at Barcelona in the late 90's has it's critics despite guiding them to two league titles. The perception is he burdened the squad with too many under performing Dutch players.

                    This century he's won 1 Dutch league title with AZ and 1 Bundasliga title with Bayern.
                    He was subsequently chased from the Bayern job the following season.

                                The fact that their collapse has been so fantastic is just making this season even sweeter.
