David Moyes sacked by Man Utd

[Baddar]

My only reservation about him being sacked is that too many deadweight players will be given a chance to prove themselves under a new manager, when they're just not good or consistent enough.

We'll see what happens.

[Benji]

As much as I like seeing Man U suffer, I do hope whoever replaces him rebuilds the squad. It's somewhat sad to see a legendary club who regularly represents the nation in things like the Champions League fall so hard from grace,

[Lineker]

Utd will have to make a statement clarifying everything asap surely, because of the stock exchange?

[Benjamin]

This is big news? :/

[Benji]

A top level manager at one of the most reputable clubs in the world getting the sack? Yeah, I'd say so.

[Lineker]

Manchester United are not legally allowed to announce anything until the stock market closes, which is 2100 BST.

According to Howard Nurse on Twitter, anyway.

ATTN: Daniel Levy

No.

Manchester United are not legally allowed to announce anything until the stock market closes, which is 2100 BST.

So, 21:01 BST, Moyes sacked?

[TCO]

Please oh please tell me someone compiled all the "United don't sack managers because Ferguson was there for 27 years" comments that were going about?!

I think it's the right move though. The squad needs an overhaul and he hasn't shown the leadership qualities or tactical competence to be entrusted with the financial muscle that'll have to be used. Admit they made a mistake letting a club legend choose his similarly angry and Scottish buddy, to be manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world. Then move on and go about using all their resources in finding the best man for the job.

If I were them I'd be ringing up Jurgen Klopp immediately and doing everything it takes to get him and see what they can do to wrangle Reus, Gundogan, Hummels and Subotic along with him.

I hope he saved his game at Everton before taking the job at Utd. If not, school boy error.

it's been like four patches since then, including the goalline tech patch. No way his save is still compatible.

[Hobo]

If he has been sacked United should've waited until after the season was over. There doesn't seem to be much of a point in changing managers with three games to go.

You're lucky Thomas doesn't post here anymore.

[Kaney]

Surely though the players have to carry their share of the burden? They've been massively under performing and while Moyes is tactically inept, it's not as if they forgot how to football during the summer.

[Lineker]

Getting rid of all the backroom staff was a poor decision. So much experience there that could have aided with the transition. I think they'd have been better if Phelan and/or Meulensteen had stuck around. The only positive thing is that Chris Woods has got de Gea playing like a beast this season.

[brenchill]

Fergie was controlling them all

Depends, really. If they have someone in mind then it'd be good for that person to see the squad in competitive action before deciding who to drop as dead weight.,

[King Ellis]

But that's not the kind of team Man U is, over the past 27 years they've always waited until the end of the season for the next guy to take over. :/

[Crybaby Bunting]

Actually sacking him a day after Champions League football next season was made mathematically impossible makes sense, there was probably a clause in his contract where if he didn't make the top four his compensation would be significantly reduced and they were just waiting until it was confirmed.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Still wouldn't surprise me if he's still here come next season, though he really does look done right now. Surely time to make the change.

Interested to see who we get if this does happen. Klopp is the dream but it's quite obvious there's no chance what so ever of that actually happening.
