Was obviously never going to work out.
Almost everyone on this forum knew he was a terrible fit at United. We wouldn't have had him. I honestly do not understand the logic that Man United's board were employing. The only positive thing I can say about Moyes is that I think he is a slightly better manager than Roy Hodgson.
Us getting Hodgson was a worse decision but there isn't much between it.
The denominating factor in this F**k up fest is Ferguson, the logic or lack of in Moyes' appointment was greeted with a hidden mutual 'thank you lord' by the vast majority of the free world.
The manc faithful in their illusion praised Ferguson and permeated the myth that the man was all knowing and had access to a mysterious elixir of footy knowledge; the nectar is of course the Scottish wine which does have some bearing on perception albeit the negative variety.
It does seem that some are believing their own bullshit about Ferguson, for one reason or the other a notion of invincibility was fashioned about him when year after year he and the board of ManU (some of whom were placed on the FA panel) ruled the Premier league from it's concept.
It has been said of course the lack of credible competition was of no small help and the only team that had prevented their ascension LFC, had taken the knock.
The culmination is we are where we are, the various affected forces that kept the mancs at the summit have evaporated and reality is biting with the cream rising to the top.
One anomaly remains in the form of Ferguson and the interested parties know of no other way than to put their faith in an entity that gives an impression of unity, nobody is impressed.
