blue footed boobie posted:Also, the best part of this story is that United made the decision to sack Moyes months ago, but waited until they were mathematically eliminated from the CL to do it. What a ridiculous small time mentality. lmao.. saving £20m is "small time". I'm actually pleased they saw which way the wind was blowing that early.

I woke up this morning and had a text which was timestamped about 20 minutes before the text which Taff got, informing me that Moyes was going to get sacked. I also just got another one informing me that Arsenal are poo poo, can anyone confirm this??

Moyes was never the right choice, but I feel a bit sorry for him because the players and senior staff at United do seem to have tried their hardest to completely gently caress him over. Also this might be better for the finances thread, but surely United are going to get in trouble with the NYSE over this? Massive leaks of significant information before any official announcements from the business is very naught for a listed company.

Giggs being appointed is a strange one. All the rumours about there being rows between him and Moyes were true, and he was definitely leaving the club in the summer if Moyes was still there. Did I post about the training row between them? I cant remember. I was told Giggs didnt show up to a coaches meeting, and so one of the other coaches went to find him. Giggs was still in the training rooms and said something along the lines of "Its pointless us having these meetings when that stubborn oval office doesnt listen to a word we say."

Massive leaks of significant information before any official announcements from the business is very naught for a listed company. It depends if the investors were annoyed with a loser or not. Also leaks happen all the time (see: tech) I think it'll drop ~5% today once trading opens, I know a couple English hedge fund managers shorted it (which is hilarious)

Giggs is just imitating Garry Monk. He'll get a 'for the foreseeable future' appointment by the end of the week, then be poo poo.

The number of journalists who knew exactly what was going on from sources inside the club before any official announcement seems like it should upset the regulators.

The Mash posted:I'm curious, who would non-United fans consider a good pick? Assuming Klopp is unavailable and other managers at big clubs (Ancelotti) aren't interested. I have to admit I don't know enough about van Gaals style as a manager to have an opinion of him one way or the other. In order of please God no -ness. Guardiola Klopp Martinez Ancelloti Capello Utd are a proper organisational mess at the moment and they've got serious leadership issues. Anyone else would be fine for this Liverpool supporter as although they'd not be bad as Moyes, they'd not be good enough to really turn things around.

Just found out that it's exactly one year to the day that United won the title by beating Villa 3-0. Absolutely incredible how bad a job Moyes has done. Worst appointment in premier league history?

Shocking ego from Giggs, undermining Moyes since day one. Its amazing the attitude he has and for someone who people regularly fellate based on his "personality" and "professionalism" im glad its shown the plastic cymraeg twat for the horrible scum he is

Whilst the idea of Pep moving this summer is preposterous, I would be intrigued to see how he would fare taking over a club that doesn't have the best pool of talent in the world.

I think he's answered the "was it just a Barcelona thing" already to be honest. He may not be as good as he seems, but he's certainly one of the best managers around now.
