    Sun survey says United have 630 million supporters, Sun survey also says 80,000 of them voted on their choice of manager, even if all 80,000 voted for the same person it would be an incredibly small percentage of overall support.

    Just piss poor wumming mate, you can`t wum on past events without some level of proof. HIAG is a master wummer, he wums on future events that cannot be proved until they happen, when he is proved wrong he doesn`t give a ****, he has had people frothing for weeks or sometimes even months. HIAG is banned from most boards though, but i do like reading his threads.

    The Chelsea posters here were trying all sorts of feeble 'arguments' which were very juvenile. In the end they resorted to silly pics but they were seriously owned on this thread... :)

    Only on the Chelsea board could this puerile dross make nine pages. It's not like Mourinho was preferred to Guardiola nor Klopp, was it? I suppose I must now submit impossible to obtain proof of some sort.

    Upshot is Smitty you have no proof that Jose, Carlo or Pep wasn't offered the job first. Until you do you will always be ridiculed as having a fourth choice manager who in during his long managerial career has won sweet FA.

    I'd imagine the board will give him two years at best but plastics like you will have shot him down long before then. Enjoy your decline <ok>

    HOw's that tail between you legs?

    A poll of 80k is pretty extensive. Even exit polls at general elections do not canvass that many people.

    Anyway, instead of questioning this poll, why not find a 2013 poll that voted for Last choice moyes as their first choice United manager.

    Oh well, at least Jose won't be dominating Sky and all the newspapers all season, to remind you about the manager you could have had... LOL

    Getting Jose back for most Chelsea fans was far better than getting Pep or Klopp who were the original targets. We are more than happy to see the chosen/happy/special one back at the Bridge but all three of those would do great with the abundant richness we have in the squad.

    The Plastics hate having to live with the thought that their manager was far from first choice. We all know that in reality Jose was tapped up by Fergie as was Carlo. Fergie even went to New York especially to speak with Pep, these managers are all top draw and have an wealth of experience in winning big games and trophies.

    It's a terrible thought for them that rejection by the main protagonists was the deciding factor in being forced to appoint a last minute manager who doesn't win big games (last Monday night against Chelsea) and has a trophy cabinet which would be the envy of minimalist Donald Judd.

    Nice to see you still have a nice line in snide remarks Watford <ok>

    Nah just the interview from Carlo in which he stated he was never approached or offered the Utd job, but hey lets just forget that interview ever happened and lets stick to your mad made up version instead <ok> Or when Jose was asked at a Chelsea press conference, "Where your feelings hurt by Manchester City and Manchester United not offering you the job, they both had vacancies? Jose Mourinho, Chelsea manager replies: "No. No." I mean if it helps you to think Utd never looked to Jose to replace the greatest ever manager since you lost out on Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Manuel Pellegrini before having to settle for a manager who Roman had fired last time around, then knock yourself out lad. I guess that makes Jose your 4th choice manager <laugh> quite ironic in light of your laughable claims. 4th choice Jose as well as the rejected one! It's almost cruel posting these rebuttals as I promised myself I wouldn't make fun of you since I'm sure you get it all the time.

    But anyway I'm off to enjoy more of our decline. I'm pretty used to it by now, only been enjoying it since 1999. <party>

    But they don't dislike Moyes whether he was first, fourth or tenth choice judging by those on here and those I actually know. I get the impression they are just a bit bemused/annoyed at the way you lot bang on about it, especially given Mourinho was almost certainly not Abramovich's preference.

    Not sure which remark is snide (nice Yiddish by the way).

    Again huge difference between actually being offered a job and being considered for it. Many, many factors will have been considered. Maybe united didnt feel they could give the kind of budget that Jose would require to push on and they settled with Moyes because of his good work at Everton with next to no budget. There are far too many variables to state one way or the other who was 'first pick' and who was and wasn't offered the job at all. In fact it was probably only Moyes who was offered the job after the United board had done exhaustive research into what they felt was the best fit for their required parameters.

    This could well be true. After Pep, Jose, Carlo and klopp were sounded out and expressed no interest in it

    The source of your Carlo rebuttal is not verified as is no other form of argument regarding the appointment of your last minute manager. All you have is denial and the Egyptians own that one so I'd say you was up a gum tree where you started losing this argument.

    No one is suggesting they don't like their fourth choice manager as they had to put up with what they were given. They will soon find out that the only similarity between him and his predecessor is they are both ginger headed Scots. As for them not liking it is not a consideration as it was not posted on their board.

    If I ever comment on there which I do very occasionally if I see something that banal or cras I generally leave it be and certainly wouldn't behave like these stupid boys have. But then there are still a few unsavory visitors on this board like that, you know the type offer nothing and leave snide remarks.

    Fair enough. You seem confident on the subject based on not a lot apart from following the herd. Personally I think he'll do well. His accent and the stereotype that spawns from it belies his intelligence. You obviously know best though with your track record of intelligent insight and casual xenophobia.

    He should do well. He's taken over the biggest club in the country having just won the league by some distance and he has a young squad and money to spend.

    Basically anything but winning the league will surely be failure and a step back?

    I dont give a **** what choice Moyes was, 1st or 15th. He may do well, he may not.
    The only things that makes me laugh is Utd fans insistence that:

    a) Moyes was the man they wanted, despite 80% of them wanting Jose or Klop. Quite a backtrack.
    and
    b) SAF was the best manager ever, yet losing him and replacing him with a guy who has never won a trophy doesnt matter, and they will carry on as if nothing happened.

    I'm extremely confident on the subject based mainly on why a manager who is secretly in his last year before retirement having covert meetings abroad sounding out prospect candidates? As for Moyes his intelligence is open to conjecture but what is indisputable is he is a middle of the road manager and a stop gap.

    keep the snide comments coming as you contribute little else. I'm sure your disdain is sorely missed on the championship boards <ok>
