I think the need for major surgery and the fact that Manchester United have just won the title again off their neighbors means he'll go out on a high. The guy rightly has a massive ego, and it's a good way for his career to end.

Very influential domestically, but his European record is shocking. Massive loss to Manchester United.

 

Moyes looks set to be manager. I'll be interested to see how this works out. There's no doubt he's done well at Everton, although they're nowhere near as skint and poor as Everton, and the media will have you believe. I'm not sure he's Manchester United material though. The guy is a grade A bottlejab. His record against the big teams is atrocious. It will be interesting to see whether he abandons his morals and goes for the wins, instead of settling for draws.

 

I fully expect Fellaini to be Manchester United player next season, and Wayne Rooney to be out of sight.

I really hope Fellaini doesn't come to Man Utd, he is not good enough and will cause trouble like he does in Everton. If Pep Guardiola wasn't going to Bayern Munich then he would have been the best choice to succeed Alex Ferguson.

 

Since 1986 Real Madrid have had 24 managers compared to just 1 for Manchester United :o

 

FACT: Managers since 1986:

Madrid - 24

Inter - 19

Chelsea - 18

Bayern - 14

Juventus - 14

Man City - 14

Milan - 13

Man Utd - 1 (Sir Alex Ferguson)

I'm yet to be convinced by Moyes, Klopp would have been perfect - I'd take Kuba and Gundogan over Fellaini any day.

I agree

 

I would have gone all out for Klopp (with Lewandowski and Gundogan). Would have been a good opportunity for Klopp to leave after a possible Champions League win and I doubt BVB will be able to complete with Bayern under Guardiola next season either

 

Although, it's quite obvious Moyes has been appointed to allow Fergie to still have some power over the team

Man Utd - 1 (Sir Alex Ferguson)

Thanks for clearing that one up for us.

David Moyes to Man United CONFIRMED

Well let's see how it turns out. The cynic in me thinks the appointment of Moyes is just so that Ferguson can still have some control, although I'm sure older Manchester United fans will be shitting their pants at this with what happened the last time their greatest manager decided enough was enough.

 

However the media try and dress this up, this is a massive gamble, one that I'm not convinced will work out for the best.

 

Good luck Manchester United!

 

Wayne Rooney's also deleted the Manchester United bit on his Twitter bio. Could be nothing, but looks like he's heading to London.

United are trending higher in Bournemouth than Manchester. Says it all really.

6 year deal. Joins on 1st July

Six years :basil: :basil: :basil:

 

 

Six Years! Lol.

Stability and gives him a chance to form the team he could never have had under Everton's financial limits. Hope it goes well, though it will be strange to see MOTD without Fergie next season.

 

Anyway, Hughes has left Hartlepool as has Barron. He was hoping to lead a promotion charge back to League one and Saunders has been sacked from Wolves. I am surprised that he was selected to replace Solbakken as he was relegated from the Championship with Doncaster Rovers.

Doncaster had one point from seven games when Saunders took over so he was always going to struggle to keep them up. When he left Doncaster for Wolves they were in the top two and already looking good for promotion.

Saunders was a bit unlucky but he really didn't help himself sometimes. "Ladbrokes don't have us in the top 3 most likely teams to go down, and they're rarely wrong" was a particular "wow" moment. Of the 20 teams I saw at the City Ground this season I don't think I saw any which were worse than Saunders Wolves were, perhaps Charlton but Forest were brilliant that day, they weren't against Wolves.

 

Six years is a bit of a gamble for Man United but in a way it makes perfect sense, I can't see him getting close to it though if he doesn't hit the ground running in his first 18 months. The choice of Moyes is interesting though, it's clearly influenced by Fergie and it perhaps sees United becoming more "Wengerfied" win that stability and revenue become as important as trophies

 

Sam Allardyce is now one away from being in the top 20 longest serving managers in English football, and he's still a month shy of being in charge for two years! Given some of those infront of him it wouldn't surprise me at all if he were up a couple more places before his anniversary.

Delighted for Wigan, and fully deserved - you'd never guess they were fighting to stay up, completely outclassed Man City.

Congratulations to Wigan.

 

Still hope they get relegated though.

Brilliant news for Wigan, now they have what amounts to two more finals to get through to stay in the League.

City played like they thought they just needed to turn up.

 

Wigan outplayed them for nearly the whole game. Thoroughly deserved and may bring a little sprinkle of magic back to the cup.

Am I the only one who thought that Wigan parked the bus? I've never seen them defend so deep before, credit to them for realising it was their best chance of winning (it nearly worked for Stoke when they had one of their off days, after all) but they're still likely to go down playing the exact opposite.

 

City didn't have an answer but I hope they keep Mancini. Probably four players needed in the summer but I think he's largely got the dressing room and any new man coming in would be two steps back in that respect.

What game were you watching?

Was a fully deserved victory for Wigan and absolutely delighted for them and Martinez., dominated possession and created far more problems. They were more disciplined defensively than normal but I wouldn't have said they were more defensive. They were still essentially playing 3-3-4 given how far Espinosa was up the pitch. I don't get how any neutral can watch Wigan and would rather they went down over toss like Norwich and Sunderland.
