Moyes Sacked by United

541 Comments
Share

Manchester United have this morning confirmed the departure of manager David Moyes. After heavy speculation over the last 24 hours, the Scotsman has paid the price for a dire run of results which sees the club sit in seventh place in the Premier League with just four matches remaining:

Sunday’s loss to former club Everton was the eleventh time the champions have tasted defeat in a season that has seen Moyes’ side break records for all the wrong reasons. Whilst United fans will be looking for a fresh start next term, Fantasy managers have more pressing matters on their minds, with the Red Devils set to play three times at Old Trafford in the next two Gameweeks.

Under Moyes, United have won just seven of their 16 home fixtures and scored a mere 22 times – fewer than Stoke and West Ham, for example – but with Norwich, Sunderland and Hull still set to make their way to Old Trafford, they have a chance to finish the season with a flourish.

Our faith in the likes of Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata now looks set to take a turn for the better in light of this breaking news, as the Red Devils attempt to put their toils behind them. It’s believed Ryan Giggs has been placed in temporary charge of first-team affairs as the Old Trafford board looks to quickly draw a line under the unsuccessful tenure of Sir Alex Ferguson’s hand-picked successor, with the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Louis Van Gaal, Laurent Blanc and Carlo Ancelotti all amongst the bookies’ early favourites to take the helm.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

                Still room for differentials within a ML though. Just look at Ramsey, 700K+ owership, but most dead teams prior to this GW.

            Actually, it was already before he had been hired by ManU, when there were only talks about it, that many Everton fans pointed out that he is very limited as manager and were excited about the possibility to get someone who would suit their higher ambitions better.

      Apparently they waited until they waited until they officially couldn't qualify for the Champions league to sack him because he had a clause in his contract. They only have to pay him one year now.
