Alongside many others, I thought Moyes was the right choice. Jose thought he was going to walk into the job, and thank goodness United had the sense to ignore the Jose factor. OK, Moyes got it drastically wrong, but now with LVG in charge, it seems we are back to playing attractive attacking football
Moyes failed united. Nothing else. Fed up of excuses now for him. He had everything at his disposal. A man like moyes lets it slip away. A man like van gaal grabs it with both hands and signs di maria and falcao. Such if the difference between the two men.
Of course its moyes fault. Who picked the side? Rio or moyes? Who selected a clearly struggling rio? Moyes. Its not uust rio but others. Rvp has said the same. Playing him while injured as he had run out of ideas by december ffs. I will blame who was responsible. That is david moyes. Its not all his fault but the important decisions, the match day choices. All 100% his fault.
Thanks Drogs! Why would my hatred for Rio have anything to do with a spat between John Terry and Rio's brother? I hate Rio because of the reasons I stated many times. He is thick, talks like an imbecile and comes out with stupid bollocks (You should read the interview he did on the lack of black managers in the Premier league )
In football terms it should be. All tye best managers take full responsibility for their team. So maybe you are right. We cant blame moyes as he was anything but a top manager. Like all second rate managers he blames everyone else. Like rafa.
Moyes did a tremendous job at Everton, with very little financial help. With hindsight, he just could not handle a club the size of United, and he clearly had no idea how to cope with star players, or the nouse to buy top players who demand top dollar wages. It was a massive mistake, but can we not move on from it now
It is rich of Rio to dump everything on Moyes. yes, Moyes may not have been SAF and was always going to be second best to him. He made many mistakes and could have made life easier for himself and the club. But the players have to take some responsibility for what happened. The players were s**t last season and as i said many times during the season, it seems that they had down tools. especially the senior ones. Their behaviour had been unprofessional and disgraceful. No one comes out of last season's disgrace smelling of roses.
Maybe but managers come and go and for the most part I think players are interested in the standing of the club they are joining, chance of winning things and the money they'll get paid above who happens to be the manager at that one point, unless there is some prior working relationship (or they are Pep or Jose!). United tried to play clever in the transfer marget, getting deals leaving some deals late etc. You'd have easily signed Herrara a year ago had you not left it so late, Baines would probably been secured had a decent offer been made etc. This season United clearly thought differently and paid over the odds in cases to ensure players were signed.
LVG is a much better and more proven manager of course but LVG signed Di Maris and Falcao in the last few days of the window because they became available and because United were more desperate than they were a year ago; thus chucked a lot more money at the 'problem' than were clearly prepared to do with Moyes. Maybe that's because they trust LVG more but a 7th place finish as opposed to being champions clearly sobered up the United decision makers as to the squad's short comings Fergie had masked. To put the respective signings (or lack of) squarely at the feet of the respective managers is wrong, simply wrong.
