    Interesting that Moyes has admitted he was only approached by United in Late April, days before Saffa retired, and that he was a desperate, last-minute choice.

    You would have thought after 27 years United would have planned it better. But united were surprised so many turned the job down.
    I'm wondering who else United and Gill approached after Ferguson told the club in winter that he was leaving.

    Embarrassing for Moyes that Saffa told Mourinho before him. I'm wondering who else knew before Moyes.

    I guess all the managers ahead of Moyes on Saffa's list: pep, Jose, klopp, jupp, and Carlo.

    I know you'll get a few bites from people who don't actually read the article, and 7 pages later this thread will be closed.

    Think everyone knows he was first choice anyway, why else would he be offered a 6 year contract. How long did Jose get?? Good to see the owner has lots of trust in his 3rd choice manager :cheesy:

    Cheers Mano. Funny that Saffa told JM months before Moyes though

    The football world outside Old Toilet knows that Below Average Moyes was manures 4th choice after Jose,Carlo and Tony.
    Mind you it's not just managers that are turning them down in favour of Chelsea. Hazard did. van Ginkel did.

    At least you have the brains not to bite, shame a lot of others don't possess that foresight.

    Quite agree. Saying that at least Moyes didn`t say Utd were unknown until he managed them unlike districts hero.

    This is twice you have made this hilarious "fix", try to find out why United were in Munic at the time of the accident, then look up "Busby Babes", they were quite well known to the footballing world community before the accident.
    I keep telling myself not to respond to you because you are on the wind up but then i read the stuff you write and think no, he is not intelligent enough to be a wum, he really believes it. I now know how a remedial class teacher feels when he keeps at it day after day, trying to make a difference for just one of them.

    Only through boring replies such as yours. You used to be a sensible poster but know you're a complete arsehole, did you get that from Swarbs?

    Because I read the article?

    We both know that the majority of people will just respond to the title of the thread and start an argument, which will the result in the thread being closed.

    Between swarbs,Diego,shwan and URIne they've got the 4 biggest tossers on not606. Between them they have 1 visit to OT and an equal number of brain cells.

    With about 19 clauses spelling out reasons why he can be sacked without full compensation, i.e. the 6 years effectively just acts to guarantee that he can't ask for a pay rise for that amount of time.
