Let's talk about David Moyes

It depends on your description of same squad though.

Yes, no signings will lead to the same imbalances, but a complete overhaul being needed is simply apologising for Moyes' failure.

This fucking thing again. Where do you get this shit from?

His charm offensive when we played him last season and the respected journalist Diego Torres writing that Mourinho cried when he didn't get the job.

In my eyes, and in a lot of people eyes, he clearly wanted the United job. And still does.

But, we'll probably go for Van Gaal.

If you seriously think that Mourinho cried when he didn't get the Man Utd job, you're fucking deluded.

I'm not even talking about his love for Chelsea or any such bullshit.
I'm saying that if you honestly think that José Mourinho, one of the most celebrated and decorated managers of all time, sat down and cried because he didn't get the Manchester United job, then you're deluded.

Also, you don't know anything. Neither do I. So fuck off with your "lol get over it"

This is the second time I will say it to you. You don't watch Manchester United play. Mata doesn't expose the left back because he's never played on the left.

You also don't watch Manchester United play because the idea that Rooney is anything better than hopeless 'in the Mata role' has long since been rejected. Additionally Mata hasn't done very well so far because he hasn't done very well, regardless of where he's played.

Regardless, I don't really give a fuck because I'm fully excited to see what a good manager can do with Mata in this side because whether you choose to remember it or not Mata is one of the best in this league and perhaps one you might be remiss to have sold given the massive dip in form of one Oscar over the last few months.

I do think that he was very upset and disappointed to not get a job he so clearly coveted.

Call me deluded if you like, but please, don't tell me to fuck off, thanks.

Just seen this: LOL at Zaha's second comment.

This isn't funny in the slightest..

I'll raise you two .

Don't try and tell me what I apparently watch and don't watch. I've seen with my own eyes that Mata exposes the fullback with his defensive weakness. If he is lined up on the left and mainly plays inside, the issue still remains. His defensive weakness is also shown through the middle, the difference is that it's not as damaging because of the midfield cover behind him. Either way, it's a matter we're ever going to see eye-to-eye on. So I'm leaving it at that.

Best part about this thread is how Ninja and Bobber have both lost their shit in here.

To have been appointed as manager of Manchester United, one of the biggest football clubs in the world, was and remains something of which I will always be incredibly proud. Taking charge after such a long period of continuous stability and success at the club was inevitably going to be a significant challenge, but it was one which I relished and never had a second thought about taking on. The scale of the manager’s job at United is immense, but I have never stepped away from hard work and the same applies to my coaching staff. I thank them for their dedication and loyalty throughout the last season.

We were fully focused and committed to the process of the fundamental rebuilding that is required for the senior squad. This had to be achieved whilst delivering positive results in the Barclays Premier League and the Champions League. However, during this period of transition, performances and results have not been what Manchester United and its fans are used to or expect, and I both understand and share their frustration.

In my short time at the club I have learnt what special places Old Trafford and Carrington are. I would like to thank the United staff for making me feel so welcome and part of the United family from my first day. And of course thank you to those fans who have supported me throughout the season. I wish you and the club all the best for the future. I have always believed that a manager never stops learning during his career and I know I will take invaluable experience from my time as United's manager. I remain proud to have led the team to the quarter finals of this year's Champions League and I remain grateful to Sir Alex Ferguson for believing in my ability and giving me the chance to manage Manchester United."

Once again. I don't need I say it because you already have, Mata has not lined up on the left for Manchester United ever ergo he's never exposed the left full back ergo what you're saying is deeply flawed.

In the midst of his sacking Moyes has actually come out of it with some dignity and all of the stories that have been released since seem to highlight how awful some of the players have been. You get the impression they never game him a chance and acted like petulant children.
