euroboy posted:Podolski is a garbageman most of the time and gently caress knows what Cazorla, Arteta and Flamini is up to. I don't normally defend Arsenal players, since it's normally somebody claiming that Koscielny and Mertesacker are the best defenders in the league or that Arsenal are better man-for-man than Chelsea, but I'm pretty sure all four of those players (and Ozil) were good before they showed up at Arsenal. If they're collectively phoning it in, maybe it's more to do with the club than it is to do with them.

Don't forget the time Liverpool fans organised a massive campaign to get a violent thug out of prison on the basis that he was scouse and that the man who'd been left with permanent brain damage wasn't scouse at all, and was in fact foreign. Legitimately despicable.

It doesn't matter in the slightest who he supports, if some United fans went on a piss-up tour through Europe and decide to smash a paving slab over somebody's head for no reason other than that he was doing his job, they'd be welcome to go stay in prison for a very long time and I'd be utterly embarrassed if anyone from the club had anything to do with any campaign or fundraising on their behalf.

Baldo di Gregorio posted:Moyes isn't underperforming though, he's performing exactly, almost to the number, how he performed at Everton. He's the same manager. Why was he picked for the United job when he never won a single trophy with Everton and his highest finish was 4th, once? United got exactly the manager they signed. WHY was he picked in the first place is the question, everything that has followed his appointment is no surprise at all, based on a decade's worth of proof. This is easy to say in hindsight, though, but the same still applies to Rodgers (why pick him for the Liverpool job when he'd had two seasons as a manager and his best achievement was finishing midtable with a newly promoted team, no better than Paul Lambert or Steve Bruce) or Martinez (essentially built his career on repeatedly narrowly avoiding relegation, up until he didn't). It's not particularly unreasonable for clubs who aren't Chelsea to hire a midtable manager who's consistently done well.

Blue Screen Error posted:Its not hindsight though, everyone said he would be poo poo at Man U I don't think they really did, save the people who poo poo all over everything regardless, and the ones who believed that United would immediately implode once Ferguson left whatever happened (and who now still believe this). United went looking for somebody who was going to carry on in the manner that it was built, somebody who had the right work ethic and who would be able to show the right commitment to the club. It was very clear what they wanted, and why the chose the person they did, in the same way that Liverpool didn't go out and sign Rodgers purely because no-one else was available. They wanted him as part of the long-term project for the club. I don't think that was necessarily the wrong thing to do. Maybe in retrospect you do what Barcelona did and give Mike Phelan the opportunity to run the club full-time, but considering Brian Kidd and Carlos Queiroz, that may not have worked out brilliantly. It was obvious, of course, that Moyes was going to have to adapt how he played, I even remember Neville & Carragher talking about it in the build-up to the season, and that seems to be where it's fallen down. The idea that the players are poo poo is nonsense. There are individuals who are suspect and positions that are weak, but as much as Mourinho is not a wizard, neither was Ferguson. The team he left behind was not a seventh-place team, and people who believe that he did shouldn't be allowed sharp objects on the ward. Of course, the acid test is going to be how the players perform, or are willing to perform, under a new manager. But I think the performance against Olympiakos showed that there's definitely quality there for someone who's able to get it to work.

Blue Screen Error posted:You say this like it hasn't happened Like I say, the acid test will be how the players perform for whoever comes in next. If they continue to mope around not giving a poo poo, then you're looking at a much more long-term building project. If they're challenging for the title again then Davey Moyes dies on the way back to his home planet (Scotland), or goes where managerial careers go to die (also Scotland).

Spangly A posted:Skrtel has 7 in the league. Seven. Nineteen year old actual talent Raheem Sterling outscoring England Striker Danny Welbeck from the wing is also funny. England Striker Danny Welbeck has also largely played on the wing I'm somewhat amused by the fact that people haven't yet twigged on to the fact that the core problem United have had this season is still in creating anything in the middle of the park, and have instead assumed that two of the most prolific strikers in Premier League history are actually both poo poo (and also Danny Welbeck, who once was good for Sunderland, like five years ago)

Hoops posted:Hired a manager, he wasn't working, sacked him, got someone else. It's only something to write 10,000 words about if you're a club who had Alex Ferguson for 27 years. The fans will get used to it, just like Madrid, Barca, Bayern, and god knows the big Italian clubs are used to it. Pretty much. The manager was given as much support as he reasonably could be, which was always the point. He was never going to be sacked for "not winning things", and he'd still be receiving support now if there was a reasonable chance that he could turn the situation around. However, the odds on that are... not good. Also, mentioning TalkSPORT just now reminded me again of the time they complained that City signed David Silva and Yaya Toure instead of "someone people had heard of, like John Terry", and I laughed at that again, in this, the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Fourteen.

Eric Cantonese posted:From what the Twitter experts say, it looks like Man-U is passive-aggressively trying to make Moyes' situation as intolerable as possible without actually sacking him in an effort to avoid paying out on the 6 year contract they gave him. If "hiring Dennis Wise and letting him sign players off Youtube" is acceptable in court as Constructive Dismissal, I'm pretty sure that leaking to the press that you'd been fired so that you'd resign (why would you even resign if you'd already been fired?) would be pretty nailed on. I'd be amazed if there was much truth in it.

Hoops posted:In football, whats the difference? Don't be pedantic about it. A City or a Chelsea manager coming in is going to be expected to win trophies. Even Mourinho, if he doesn't win anything in the next couple of years is pretty likely to be shown the door. Chelsea managers can also be fired for "not defending a trophy"; "being fat and Spanish"; and "promoting the youth team at the expense of Frank Lampard". There was no real obligation on Moyes to win anything this year, and more than likely the next couple of years as well. That's some way removed from looking physically incapable of managing a football club.

Jose posted:Its funny how quickly its turned to players signing for Man Utd because of the money and nothing else though That's probably not true either, but people are busy trying to convince themselves that United are the new Leeds and why would any manager even want to take the top job at one of the most famous and prestigious clubs in the world? Even if it were the case, it wouldn't matter that much unless the money ran out.

I'm glad you've come around to the belief that football started in 1992 and was invented by Clayton Blackmore. It's been a long time coming.

Strawman posted:Will this still be the case for his successor? I can't see why it wouldn't be, to be honest. Like I say, if United hire van Gaal (or whoever) and there's no improvement, then a lot of blame is going to fall on the players. Beyond that, I don't think there'd be a great deal of pressure on him. He'd be expected to progress the squad, I'm not saying that finishing fourth forever is the goal, but the fans do recognise that United need to be bringing in new players and allowing the manager time to shape what he wants to do.

St Evan Echoes posted:The press over here would slaughter van Gaal. It would be amazing. Ferguson actively baited them for twenty years and they could never touch him. I think most newspapers are smart enough to realise that United fans are smarmy, superior and at least 20% of their readership. irlZaphod posted:David Moyes was picked because he's Scottish, as far as we know. People say this, but it's never been true. He was picked because they wanted someone who was respected in football, an old-school manager with huge Premier League experience who would be willing to commit to the club for the long-term. You can absolutely turn around and say that that's a stupid idea, or even take the I've mentioned this before, but I have a Spurs mate who basically would poo poo on AVB every week by announcing that they'd have won if only they'd hired Moyes, but instead Levy went for some skinny-tie-wearing foreign myth. blue footed boobie posted:He just signed a new contract like a month ago.

Paperhouse posted:FLJ meant Alf Ramsey You know me so well. Seriously, though, if Klopp is committed to Dortmund, then van Gaal would be a very good appointment. I'd honestly expect Simeone to be available if a big club wanted him, just because Atletico aren't in a position to match the money they could pay, but he'd be a gamble right now. Failing that, there's always Billy Davies.

irlZaphod posted:He has experience, but can you honestly say that it was relevant experience to follow Ferguson (keeping in mind that "replacing" him would probably be literally impossible). I'm not saying that they should have gone with Martinez or whoever, but I think in a way Ferguson unintentionally screwed the club by banking that Moyes could handle the kind of pressure which he had really never faced before. He would probably have been better off letting the board pick his successor, and taking a step back for several years. Showing up to matches with Mick Hucknall's melting waxwork from Madame Tussaud's was probably not helpful in any way. All of that is a justifiable argument, but there are people who seem to believe (for real reals, not for play play), that Ferguson just picked a Scottish because he himself was also a Scottish. If you were going to choose a Premier League manager to take over, it was always going to be David Moyes.

Stotty posted:Queiroz is out of contract with the Iranian national team at the end of the World Cup I think. I can't believe that Queiroz was showing at 16/1, if they hired him I'd be genuinely convinced they'd lost the plot. As an Assistant Manager/Director of Football, I doubt there are many better people in the world, but that was enough to get him managerial work, up to and including literally being hired as manager of Real Madrid based on nothing more than being a good AM at United. And he was poo poo at it. If he wanted the Dennis Wise role, even on good money, any club would be silly not to have him, but he's not the guy you want as manager.
