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.

“Why blame Moyes? Blame Ferguson. No, not because he allegedly left Moyes with a United team which he knew had run its course. What nonsense. United had won the Greed Is Good League with a massive 11 points advantage and if there were some indication that the team as the saying goes was growing old together, it surely should have had another season in it.

No, I find Ferguson culpable because perhaps unconsciously he didn’t want to nominate a manager who would steal his reverent thunder. Mourinho might have done that. Van Gaal, who could now be taking over, might also have done it.

Moyes is a perfectly decent, thoroughly competent middle of the road manager. One who has never won anything of consequence, but succeeded in keeping a far from wealthy club such as Everton constantly in the top division.”

Agree or disagree, I always like reading Brian Glanville’s columns and he just came out with one on this event. Glanville came out with World Soccer, the monthly magazine decades ago and is still writing. He also authored a history of the World Cup that is decent.
