*Official* English Football Season 2012-13

[Tom Halsey]

Don't think it's quite that bad. Too much stuff is different in this case from how it was when Liverpool's era of dominance ended.

Not a fan of the appointment at all, that said.

 

[Cevno]

Wasn't my first preference, but don't mind Moyes.

He won't have to make any changes to the management structure too plus Sir Alex rates him highly.

 

[wpdavid]

It struck me that none of the ex-Fergie players who have previously been mentioned as replacements are remotely in the frame nowadays - Keane, Hughes & Robson to name but three.

Kudos to Ferguson, anyway. We won't see his like again.

 

[The Sean]

Sky reporting that an announcement on United's next manager will be made in next 48 hours so yeah, everything pointing to Moyes.

Bugger.

 

[Uppercut]

I can't believe "Mourinho or Moyes" is an actual debate. And they've gone with Moyes. You'd think "has vast experience of winning trophies" would be more important than "has similar accent".

 

[GIMH]

A move that weakens both Man U & Everton, what's not to like?

 

[sledger]

Probably because they're all ****.

 

[sledger]

Big game tonight:

Come on you horrible Chav ****s.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Don't like this appointment, we never ever ever beat Everton. Moyes teams fuaaaark.

 

[grecian]

I'm hoping for a "managerial merry-go-round", mainly because I love that phrase.

Apparently Steve Bruce's nose has been put of out of joint because he wasn't considered.

 

[Ikki]

Don't want Moyes at all, pretty worried about this.

It could be worse...Tony Pulis.

Really weird and historic day. Gotta give credit where its due, one of the greatest managers of all time and the greatest of any who stayed at any one club.

Mourinho may not really be an option, as he's gone to Chelsea perhaps.

 

[The Sean]

Gah, I'm watching the Sky Sports tributes and choking up. Reckon I could be in a bad way on Sunday. And the following Sunday.

East Stirling, St Mirren and Aberdeen may argue with that.

My tribute is this "**** off you miserable, whiny, despotic ****, hated you with a vengeance"

 

[Pothas]

Wow that is the first thing Adebayor has done all season.

 

[Cabinet96]

Wac.

Seems very strange to me to consider Moyes. Yes Man Utd will continue to be a great and strong club, but who the manager is has a lot to do in whether players are interested in the club or not. A lot of players would have come to Man Utd over the years because they want to be managed by a top manager like Sir Alex. Not sure the same would apply now if Moyes is appointed.

Back in 1986, Sir Alex was a pretty unknown wasn't he in terms of managerial experience? Aren't Giggs and Scholes going down the management route, so one of them might be considered in a few years for the job?

He really did great things with Aberdeen, winning a European trophy when the secondary cups were pretty damn important was massive.

Hard to compare times really, British teams didn't really buy many top foreigners, the money was in Italy, so a world renowned name wasn't needed. More required was a person who could work in the British Isles.

Moyes is a shocking pick IMHO, but obviously I don't care anymore, because I don't hate man u anymore

 

[GIMH]

If you stop hating Man U I won't believe in anything anymore

I feel it's getting in my way of my prime pursuit, despising the Cornish slime. When you get older you have to pace yourself.

There's just not enough Hate to spread around.
