moar money, no trophies.



you know, ibra should move to arsenal next season, if he gets them the league it would be far more impressive than a CL win with another club.

that would be a ballon d'or worthy feat.

Moyes' playing style would be closer to Ferguson's than people think. At Everton, Moyes puts out a compact, "negative" team because he doesn't have the most talented squad. What does Ferguson do when he thinks the opposition has better players?

Things we can take from Moyes' time at Everton:

- He commands the respect of his players and creates an intensely motivated group
- He's a pragmatist with a proven record of maximising his resources
- He makes controlling the midfield a priority, in sharp contrast with United in recent years

None of those are bad things.

Still, if it was my decision I'd want someone with a bit of creative spark in their tactical approach. I think someone like Klopp would provide a natural progression from Ferguson, in that he'd maintain the pace and intensity but add some tactical depth.

the biggest issue with a guy like moyes is he hasn't managemented a big club w/ egos.

That's not easy


however man utd history shows us, they'll back manager over players. If so, he'd be fine

Everton have played some pretty decent passing football at times too.

He's succeeded with the players he's had so far. What else can he do?

And if experience of managing big egos is the only criteria, the options are even weaker tactically than Ferguson.

United should definitely try to bring in Baines at least, Evra's going to burn out sooner rather than later.

I heard Rooney doesn't get on with Moyes?

Moyes is a great coach ... Fucking fergie he has been grooming him for years .. there is this annual convention ofall Scottish coaches and moyes has been glued to Fergies crotch for a long time .. rightfully so.

He showed patience, improvement, ability to work in tough conditions, good tactically.

Very good hire .. Fergie wont just quit and go for vacation .. old man is too smart for that

The best thing about Moyes is that he looks exactly like my old history teacher, who used to be a prison guard. Both champions.

I'm going to send my CV in for the job, citing my Football Manager experience.

Also, Fergie time!

And LOL at United fans acting like they played like Barcelona under Fergie, and David Moyes is apparently Tony Pulis now. :fp:

He regularly beats City too.
