Not sure what exactly I'm meant to be seeing here. Is being captured on camera looking down for what might have been a split second (perhaps to avoid an obstacle in one's path) a sign a mental weakness now? I guess the press would never use images of strong characters out of context to fit their own narratives.
Photos are often selected to back up what someone is saying. In the middle of the Daily Echo row with Nicola, the paper always used a picture of him where he looked like he was chewing a wasp. Snap shots, as PTF said, do not necessarily reflect reality.
Oh come on, how many times did you see him sink into his chair in the dugout when United went behind in a game. Where Fergie would have been straight up barking at his players, Moyes would sit and sulk for the whole game. His demeanor never helped him out.
That's true. It was rather as if he didn't believe in himself, right from the word go - quite unlike his approach at Everton.
He's given me negative reputation in the past; oddly it was for the post that got me more positive reputation than any other. What a tosspot. Vin
Moyes was always the wrong man for the job. Any manager without a trophy of some description on their CV was and is the wrong man.
That's probably true. One of the biggest jobs in football, and they appoint a man who'd never won a trophy. It seemed quite a bold and refreshing move at the time, but it doesn't now.
I think Man U have made a mistake. For what they feel are the right reasons, but I still feel it's a mistake. I see this as a sea-change. What they have now done is to launch themselves onto the short term merry-go-round of manager given a season to succeed, manager inevitably fails, manager leaves. It doesn't work for other teams; it won't work for them. Vin
he had to go, and Man U did make a mistake pointing him in the first place as better mangers out there for this job
After a long term relationship ends, people commonly have a transition relationship before they find true love again. Moyes was a transition lover.
Since Mourinho went in 2007, they've won the PL once despite probably the biggest budget in the league for a big chunk of those seven years. I wouldn't call that an unmitigated success. Vin
I didn't say it was an unmitigated success but, United aside, they've been the most successful English club during that period. Apart from that premier league win, they've also won the FA Cup three times, the Champions League, and the Europa League. It's a joke mate.
Why should Sir Alex step back completely? He wants Man United to win, and supports them. He is also a director, so why shouldn't he go to watch them play. I would find it worse if a manager who has been at a club for 26 years, decides to never appear there again. Moyes was his man, and he has been there at the games to show that. If he buggered off then he would have got more criticism.
Yeah, but apart from winning the PL, three FA cup wins, the Champions League and the Europa, what has Roman ever done for us? Vin
