David Moyes sacked by Man Utd

[Plubby]

YOU PROMISED PLUMMETING. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF PLUMMETING.

[Liam]

So that's ten manager changes before the end of the season, which is apparently a record.

Chris Hughton (Norwich)

Ian Holloway (Crystal Palace)

Martin Jol (Fulham)

Rene Muelensteen (sp?) (Fulham)

Michael Laudrup (Swansea)

Malky Mackay (Cardiff)

Andre Villas-Boas (Spurs)

Steve Clarke (West Brom)

Paolo Di Canio (Sunderland)

David Moyes (Man United)

Obviously not in order. Looking at the table, 8 of those 10 changes were made by teams in the bottom half. Think Fulham are the first team I can remember sacking two full-time managers in the same season.

How many of those have been justified in hindsight? Palace is one that sticks out, probably Sunderland too, Hughton's too early to say. But I'd argue Swansea, Cardiff, Spurs & West Brom are no better off, if not worse off, than they were under previous managers. Liam can probably comment better on Fulham.

Jol had to go, even though arguably we aren't better off without him. We played too many luxury players at a time when we needed a Plan B. He also didn't look at youth at all, whilst are first squad team were aging.

Meluensteen was an interesting one. I liked him, he seemed to be fairly adept tactically, but had a difficult set of games to start with so his record looks worse than it probably deserves. However, you'd take a manager of Magath's quality over a guy who has never had to go through that before. I did like Curbishley and Wilkins in the dugout, which is the bigger shame over Rene's departure.

I'm happy with Magath, although we still don't seem to know are best team. He has them playing better, and the youth influx from our Reserves has been good to see and has seen players willing to work get a shot in the team. Whether it will be enough to keep us up is another story.

I was gonna say, even before seeing that tremendous Robson picture, GIggs should manage with a nice gold buttoned blazer over his kit.

Ryan Giggs is not under consideration as Manchester United's next full-time manager, BBC Sport has learned.

[King Ellis]

And to think you told us all to bet on him yesterday. :/

[Lineker]

I also said that I wasn't liable for anyone losing their money

I love that you don't quote the site, you literally post it on here as if you are BBC Sport

[Lineker]

How do you know I'm not

You were a little too smug when this was finally confirmed, you needed taking down a peg or two.

[Lineker]

Should have known you'd be the one doing the pegging.

[Noah]

Noted football genius Dwight Yorke has said Giggs should get the job full time.

[Baddar]

The papers seem to think that Giggs won't be there in any capacity next season if Van Gaal gets the job.

[Noah]

Van Gaal hates the Welsh.

Wonder if De Boer could get it. Doing great with Ajax. Or even Laudrup. Has experience handling big egos, has contacts and a great scouting system. Unlucky to get the axe at Swansea I feel

[brenchill]

Christ almighty, this is Manchester United. They've had a shit season, sure, but they aren't going to hire the manager Swansea sacked.

He's a Villa fan, to them it's a good result

[Baddar]

I don't even know what a PEC Zwole is. How did they manage that?

[EddieG]

They've had a really good season, 2 of the goals were scored by a Feyenoord player on loan which might've helped.

The first 2 from some 19 year old from New Zealand.

Shame AVB signed up with Zenit, I feel he'd have been a different but still reliable choice for manager. Still can't believe Spurs sacked him.
