Moyes is OUT! Glazers finally lose patience with Fergie's failed replacement and now United boss..
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 21, 2014 | Ian Ladyman

David Moyes will be sacked by Manchester United in the coming weeks and could even go before the end of the day. United’s owners the Glazer family have finally lost patience with Moyes after a dismal season that has seen the reigning Barclays Premier League champions slump to seventh in the table. The final straw was Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Everton, their 11th in the Barclays Premier League this season, and a result that left the title holders down 13 points off the Champions League places.

Another example of the thankless task of replacing a legendary manager/coach especially with a rabid fan base like MU has.

You broke the news on this for me, I will have to see. Don’t really care about MUFC, know they are one of the most popular clubs on the planet though.

“David Moyes: Manchester United ‘no comment’ on boss rumours

Manchester United are offering no comment on reports that David Moyes is set to be sacked as manager. “

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/26352231

The front office not commenting I take as meaning that he will be sacked.

Who really cares about a game played by Brits in cute little shorts? Soccer players and fans are a waste of oxygen.

You can save a little time by just typing “waah.”

I never noticed the “cute little shorts” unless it’s the women who are playing.

A lot of people do: Manchester United is one of most valuable sporting franchises on Earth, period. As such, if they do poorly, the whole world knows about it, especially now that Premier League matches are available on the widely available NBC Sports Network (the former Versus network) here in the USA.

There are increasing rumors that Lionel Messi wants to switch to a Premier League team once his contract with FC Barcelona ends; we may have a huge bidding war in the Premier League for him very soon.

I’d like to see Messi in the Premier League. When is his contract up at Barca?

The big problem United faces, is being eclipsed by their cross-town rival.

Lot of rumors that City is going to go hard after Messi.

The thing is, there are relatively few "Brits" on a Premier League side.

Big mistake by Barca bringing in Neymar. Having more than one prima donna on a team is poison.

Nonsense. They have the most entertaining and finest hooliganism on the planet.

” The thing is, there are relatively few “Brits” on a Premier League side. “

Not really sure if that is so true anymore.

Everton, West Ham, Crystal Palce all started 7 Brits/Irish in their last game.

http://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/04/20/england/premier-league/everton-football-club/manchester-united-fc/1483800/

http://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/04/19/england/premier-league/west-ham-united-fc/crystal-palace-fc/1483806/

Even the Man City manager Peregrini came under some criticism for almost not having any English players in their loss vs. Liverpool.

http://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/04/13/england/premier-league/liverpool-fc/manchester-city-football-club/1483790/

While we see Liverpool had a few, in general, I guess the top clubs have fewer.

If you get over half of your players in the starting selection from the home countries including Ireland, I think you are doing fairly well.

Big mistake to give a coach less than one year.

Agreed. Now they practically have to bring some name-manager/coach in if the Scot has been let go. Whomever that may be.

I for one, would love to see Cantona be their manager, it wouldn’t be boring.

They probably won’t do it but Ryan Giggs. Even if he plays another year, Player-Coach.

I thought about him too.

The other guy I’m thinking of is Jürgen Klopp the Borussia Dortmund manager.
