Sir Alex was close to getting sacked a few times as well, I think it was three years before he won any hardware at United.

Which is also an argument for why they should have given Moyes more time but Manchester United are an international brand and I know everyone argues that this United team are better than anything Ferguson took over.

But didn't Ferguson lose two times in the Champions League in recent years to Bayern Munich? Moyes' team did just about as well.

They should have given Moyes more time but didn't because Manchester United are an international brand and as an aside, they are playing in that international cup in the US in July, August. I know that's basically a tour but it will give everyone a chance to see some European teams nonetheless and should be interesting considering the Red Devils will have a new manager.

Ancelotti was treated poorly imo at Chelsea and he is suprised Moyes was sacked and sympathizes with him. MUFC should have given Moyes more time.

I agree 100% that Moyes got a raw deal.

I think he deserved an off-season to try to right the ship and bring in more of his players, and get rid of the vestiges of the Sir Alex era.

Heck, if Will Muschamp can still be the coach at Florida, then Moyes should still be at MU.
