Bobby Charlton has defended him and Ferguson has defended him. He is going nowhere!

Why wouldnt pep choose utd, one of the biggest teams in europe with a great budget, a huge graoud and fanbase. Its made for him

You're probably right but after this season pessimism has taken hold. He is the dream, I'd like to think Moyes will be gone by the summer but from the way he's going on it looks like we might be stuck with him next season, another season outside of CL and I don't know how attractive we would be.

I can see Pep staying for another 2 seasons at least, so someone like Van Gaal or Ancelotti until then and somehow get him to join us then would be the fantasy scenario

Why do you say you'd only like Ancelotti to steady the ship? He's a quality manager with plenty of years left managing a high club level. De Boer is a big risk imo.

No doubt he's a quality manager but how long would he stay is the question

@indykaila: Exclusive: Ryan Giggs has stated to the Manchester United board, he wants to become #MUFC manager on short term contract.

Saw this, our Indy is always right

It has been proven that he works in a call centre. Biggest spoofer on twitter tbh.

He would be even funnier than Moyes, give him a long term contract

I took a break from Twitter. When did this happen??

Some people have said he works for KFC.

I might have missed the joke but anyway.

Its going to take a special manager to turn things around at United now. If someone decent had taken the job after Fergie and at least steadied the ship it might be ok but now its a mammoth task to rebuild

Nuri Sahin · 27-03-2014 01:08AM

Indy is one gigantic tool ^

Where are the posters Mitch and Homer gone? I remember keeping an eye on this place and they used to be very interesting .. have they gone to the boards cyber graveyard or what?

I think Homer lurks these days if anything. He does post in other forums of interest I noticed, and on Twitter sometimes.

Mikeyt086 · 27-03-2014 01:11AM

A little birdy told me the story is about Garay.

Not sure if it was Homer or Headshot who really didn't want the transfer to happen but I have watched him a few times this year and he could form a nice partnership with Jones I think. Now, this might not be true, I'm not sure, and even if we did sign him there is no guarantee he fits right in to English football, but it would be a start.

A good manager nevermind a special manager would have United challenging for the league next season.

onemorechance · 27-03-2014 02:15AM

Duncan Castles tweet was:

"Manchester United hierarchy assess options to replace David Moyes as senior figures despair at mismanagement."

with the full story appearing on Goal.com.

When asked "so is this the Manchester United news that you were saying about?", he replied "yes". When asked "is goal reliable?", he replied "I wrote it. I like to think that I am."

..i'm 23 so I literally have never witnessed an unsuccessful United, I'm very much prepared for waiting the long haul to get back to the top. Under Ferguson trophies were won on an industrial scale, the conveyor belt just never stopped.

Jamie Carragher said and I agree with him that when a club is down in the dumps it is never as bad as it seems - It might take a few seasons and a few quality players in we'll be back competing... of that I have no doubt.

So you've been blessed to only know success then. When SAF retired, I felt we might be trophyless for 3-4 years as a new team and identity was rebuilt. Whether Moyes stays or not, I still think this will be the case.

Red Crow · 27-03-2014 07:46AM

The 'BIG UNITED' related story was just Giggs, Neville and Scholes are buying out a non-league club and Scholes is to be appointed as manager

My single biggest problem with the Moyes farce is that up to this point he simply hasn't done anything to indicate he has a style, philosophy or identity that he is working United towards.

We lurch from one formation, selection ethos or tactical plan to another - with seemingly no cohesion or plan behind it all. Giggs is return to the team, out of nowhere, vs Olympiacos and puts in a very good performance - dropped from the next two squads. We play to the strenths of Rooney and Mata on Saturday - and go 433 with Mata wide on Tuesday - then start playing Fellaini and Cleverley wide - and when this isn't working we just seem to start throwing attacking options on with no thought to balance or tactics.

If I could see a style being developed, I could more easily deal with the crap results - but we aren't seeing that - we are simply seeing turgid crap, crap results and no identifiable plan or style.

Its a massive part of why I don't want to see Moyes given another minute at the club.

This ragtag bunch of nobodies were champions 12 months ago all they need is few new players and a decent manager to lift the gloom.

Timmyctc · 27-03-2014 08:35AM

Saw this floating around.Funny. Remember when Neville wouldn't look Schmeichel in the eye when he was playing for City.
I would take Roy Keane and Paul Scholes out of retirement to help sort things out on the pitch :pac:

Sarcasm my friend. I know it doesn't travel well through the medium of text but I thought it was obvious

Looking at Sunderland there. One thing is that there are new players needed. A lot of the current squad lack any bite. Bardsley, a former youth player, could be taken back. He's a tough nut with a bit of oomph. Boys like him and Cattermole are hard things. The squad is too limp at the moment.

I think I would cry if we were even linked to the likes of Bardsley and Cattermole. Both are scumbags, and no where near good enough for United. I see what you're saying though about the squad being too limp, but these 2 wouldn't be the answer. We seem to get bullied a lot by teams this season, and have done against the better teams for the last few seasons, and we are by no means a 'small' team. Fellaini, Rafael, Jones, Evra are all 'tough nuts', there just isn't any desire there.

Lord TSC · 27-03-2014 09:41AM

Real Madrid being linked with Luke Shaw now.
Lalana being tracked by Chelsea.

Can't imagine we'll be able to compete with either for either, even though the later would just be a squad player...

I didn't expect us to walk the league this season, no one did, but we were expected to challenge, and be in the top 4 at the very least. We are currently 12 points off 4th with 7 games to go, we are no where near in contention, and will get knocked out of the CL by Munich in a couple of weeks.

You could say that no one could foresee Liverpool's rise this season, they finished last season with 61 points, they have 65 so far with 8 games to go, that is a massive increase. But even if Liverpool were in the same position, we are still a bit off Everton and Spurs.

You could have an argument for Moyes if he was to finish 5th, missing out on the CL by a couple of points, but the gap is huge at the moment.

Saw that too and I think he would be mad to go to Madrid. Don't think he would get into the team at the moment ahead of Marcelo, and would rot on the bench for a couple of seasons. United or Chelsea would be the best options for him, and I can't see us matching Chelsea if it comes down to it.

We'd be better off looking abroad for a cheaper option with a bit more experience.

I actually think Giggs will become a good manager, just not at the moment. Let him coach, and manage the U18s or U21s, but we aren't in a position to take a risk on Giggs at the moment.

For me it would be van Gaal, Klopp, Simeone, or Ancelotti. van Gaal might if the deal is done before the WC, Klopp I just can't see, too much love for Dortmund, Simeone, I think, will stay with Atletico for another couple of seasons and try and compete with the big two. Ancelotti will save his job if he can with the CL, but if he doesn't win it, he'll be gone. Conte would be another that I wouldn't have a problem with but Juventus are dominating Serie A at the moment, but he might like a challenge.

I made this point to my mates when watching that. All the players hugging and shaking hands. Time for that after the game. Just shows the lack of focus and drive before the game, even if it's to just prove a point that the season isn't dead. The likes of Keane, Neville or a Viera wouldn't have stood for it and it's a shame that there isn't a leader in the group anymore like that.

TheDoc · 27-03-2014 10:02AM

On the pictures posted above.

Have to say while I don't condone players "hating" their rivals, and appreciate mutual respect between two pros, I dislike the love affair that goes on with players these days. Pciking lads up of the ground, little taps and low fives and hugs before matches.

Call me old fashioned ( at the tender age of 26) but when I was roaming midfield in my pomp, if I floored someone I made sure they picked themselves up. I'd get the tackle in early to set the tone for the day. Everytime someone went to the ground in a tackle, I'd let them pickthemselves up. If I ever got floored, I made sure I was back to my feet in a flash. I'd never hunch over onto my knees grabbing breathe, I'd never want to let my opponent know I was feeling tired.

Small mental stuff, but small things your taught that can sometimes make the difference. If there was ever a rubbish tackle I made where someone went flying, I would be over no problem and help them up. But in a good tackle, they could pick themselves up.

I just don't like seeing that love affair pre-match in the tunnel, and at what this point is just show affection on the pitch, it's not even meaningful most often then not.

I was ROARING at the TV for Fellaini to get a tackle in early, he just CONSTANTLY jockeyed Toure, it boiled my blood.

As much as we like to think football has changed to be more beautiful and technical, some of the old stuff will always stay relevant and important. Fellaini launching a tackle into Toure early would have set the tone that hes not to be bullied with, and woulda got a tribal roar from the fans. Instead he was like a headless chicken all night.

Football has definitely lost something for me from the days of the great rivalries, which has definitely made them a duller affair then they used to be.

Not forgetting Moyes played Carrick, Marouane Fellaini and Tom Cleverley for the first time together.:eek:
Valencia getting ready with Carrick having taken a knock & hobbling for a couple of minutes, it appeared Moyes was desperate for an excuse to make a change. The fact it was Valencia being readied, rather than a central midfielder like Darren Fletcher, underlined the fact that the manager if proof was needed that he's totally is out of his depth.:mad:
