The Sacked One

From The Chosen One to The Sacked One in less than a season.  Did Moyes deserve longer than he got to get United back on track.  On this basis Fergie would not have lasted a season either.

You can't compare Moyes this season to Ferguson in the late 1980s, completely different situations.

 

From what has come out he lost the players, fell out with the coaching staff and wasn't trusted in the boardroom.  Manchester Utd are rumoured to be spending £200m this summer and clearly the board decided that they didn't want Moyes in charge of that money.  Considering he spent £30m on Felliani I can see why.

 

When it comes down to it I just don't think Moyes was proactive or positive enough to be manager of a club like United, he was a cautious manager at Everton, to the extent that there were some rumblings about him among Goodison fans over the past couple of seasons.  Martinez has shown what can be achieved with a fresh approach.

Yep it took Alex Ferguson at least five years to fully establish his reputation and position at Manchester United.

 

Different era rite enuff.
