The Sad but Eventual Decline of Manchester United Football Club

Maybe he should go back, only he'd find there is a better manager there who has won a trophy already

Everton was his level, by the time he is finished his catastrophic reign at Man U, Everton will be out of his league in terms of management...Still hilarious to think that Man U appointed this managerial no-mark as their number one

think fergie was having a flash back to the 80s when he appointed moyes , thought he could see the same traits in moyes has himself , think he was fxcking dreaming  myself

what is moyes holding aloft in that pic? is he feeding his cat or sth?

sorry thought it was a saucer of milk, didn't see the thing on top

Still hasn't explained Zaha.

There's nothing sad about it.

all the plastics will switch to chelski

sunderland can make it even more amusing, i really hope they get a result on weds

Not bad except it's not true that Moyes has never won a trophy. It was 14 years ago but it still counts.

Was pretty sad to see them beaten so badly today

I SHOW MY DISGUST FOR EVERY LOSS BY NOT SLEEPING UNDER #MUFC DUVET

NOW I HAVE HYPOTHERMIA - MOYES FAULT

eventual? think he means inevitable

United running out of money would be the worst thing that could happen to other clubs in the premier league, they would be bought straight away by the sultan of Brunei or the shah of Iran or some other rich benefactor

I hope the plastics don't switch to Chelski,  driving is better in Surrey when they all go to Madchester!

United's decline is inevitable.  The Magician has gone but his final trick was a last hurrah for himself.  The signing of RVP was genius but selfish, won the title but lost the war.  Left an empty shell with the two best players divvying up the 25 million Sponsors money between them as wages!

Why do people blame Moyes?  The person to blame for the current situation is without doubt Ferguson, he was the Wizzard and Magician. Ego took over and the club was not placed first.  In my view Keane is right about him in some instances, Loyalty?  Not to Manchester or Glazers.

Why would the world's best players want to go to the second best team in Manchester?

What happens to United now is very interesting.  Even with their commercial might they cannot compete with Oil. 

I am sure the Glazers could cope for a season without Champions League Football but they are in an ever decreasing circle in that they will be vunerable to losing their best players and not attracting the top talent available.  Then it is a case of hardball.  Someone will buy United for between 2 and 3 billion but if the Glazers struggle financially a game of poker ensues.

The Glazers have played a blinder up till now financially. Using United's own  money to the club was genius.

Moyes is not the problem but alas not the solution either.

Where will it end? it could collapse like a bank .


   Massive debt ,no Champions League revenue,top players not interested in joining them,fans protest,board will not sack manager and owners pull the plug .

I hope the plastics don't switch to Chelski,  driving is better in Surrey when they all go to Madchester!


True.

will not collapse like a bank. Will always be marketable and the Glazers will sell long before it goes tits up and the only person who can afford to buy will be a billionaire, probably someone with bottomless pockets like an Oil Sheikh. They are still a far more attractive buy than City are or were

Whats sad about it?

nothing sad about it what-so-ever

Yeah By no means sad...Hysterical-Comical-pleasing more like

It's sad because it will harm our co-efficiency in Europe, they consistently get to the knockout stages, we could risk losing a spot like Serie A did to the Bundesliga if we have a replacement in the likes of T*ttenham  or Everton who would take some time in building up enough strength in depth to compete in Europe and get of the groups.

@ whispering death...

good write up that...

the nights i've tossed and turned worrying about our co-efficiency in europe

Spurs made the quarter finals the only time they reached the CL

PETER CROUCH

...we were a breath of fresh air in the champs league.......

...just as we will be next year.....

..peace out

Spurs made the quarter finals the only time they reached the CL


Bale FC had a good run, but Bale FC doesn't exist anymore.

nothing wrong with our coefficient, all 4 teams in knockout stages, it would take a few bad years to lose the 4th place and Man C, Chelsea and Arsenal should always get to the knockout stages

CHICARTIANIS

Vidic has confirmed he is leaving at the end of the season, looks like Anderson was right that players, plural, want to leave United, if United finish below 4th, not only will an exodus ensue, but what top players are going to sign? This demise It's all getting a bit real.

Midnight messages now "one of our best players wants out"

Big day for Moyes, can't be losing to a team rock bottom whose confidence  is shattered.

Could be his last game in charge.

What a romantic original post from an ABU. Take up knitting is my advice.

Agent Gollum is doing a great job in turning manure into a small club lets hope he keeps it up

I think 25th March will be the day esp if it's a hammering.

Even I honestly never thought they'd fall this far, 1 shot on goal at Old Trafford against Liverpool losing 0-3.

I think an element of their decline is that for some referees it is payback time -- i.e.refs who were given a hard afternoon at OT by Ferguson in the past.I mean,THREE penalties against United -- unheard of previously.

It just gets worse and worse, haemorrhaging goals at the Theatre of Dreams

what was sad about this result is it was so inevitable.............everyone on the pitch knew what was going to happen

no fight in that team

Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!

it's not as if they've been cuffed by a couple of breakaway goals in all those defeats

been a very poor second in a lot of games

played off the park tonight, clock is ticking

cheers, gonna miss that pat the butcher guy damm u pandorica

Would be infinitely better watching the decline if Sir Alex was still in charge imo

Relegation scrap is going too far mesmerised, but I agree that United have some very lean years ahead of them. I doubt they can match City and Chelsea for the foreseeable future. Their only chance is to appoint a proven top class manager and give him a lot of money to spend. I don't think Moyes is the man for the job. I think he's too negative, he's not a big club manager, looks out of his depth. Also, he's unknown in Europe and the rest of the world. It will be difficult to get big name players to sign for him.

Well done United, cut throat but correct decision, never up to the job.

Of course it's all Moyes fault after all he is playing as well as managing isn't he?
Oh sorry he's just the manager not one of the £100,00o plus a week players who are playing well below there pay scale, but it's not there fault.
