No thanks I'd like someone who's a bit more progressive.

Rick Wakeman or Peter Gabriel  ?

Moyes would be ok to a point, but I don't see him ever making a top level manager. He's like the Stewart Downing of managers. Europa League is about his level.

I would venture the opinion that Europa League football is very far away from where we are at the moment.

Not sure
He would certainly have something to prove if he gets the sack at MU.

Would he be damaged goods though?

I would sign up Moyes in an instant. As I said much earlier in the day he is a very good manager who has had to deal with a rapidly ageing squad at Man Utd. No one else of that quality available in this country. If these two Texans do take over (and both are very much like Randy in a lot of respects) we are notl likely to see a lot of money coming into the club but enough to tempt David Moyes to give it a go.

Ive had a look at the Charles Laughton site and they seem to be decent law abiding people who....keep costs down!

So dont expect world domination.

I think the problem with Moyes is we'd see a lot of the same football we've been complaining about. He's pretty direct in the way he sets up his teams.

If Man U pay him off handsomely -as they have to do as he signed a 6 year contract(!)
He will then have what Brian Clough called 'Fuck off money' after his Leeds payoff -enough to tell anyone to fuck off if he doesn't think he is getting his way.
This made Clough confident enough to take the Forest job and do it his way -leading a shit second division side to become double European champions.
I don't think Moyes could do that with us mind you -our squad is not that good!

Apparently there is a 'break' clause in his contract that means they won't pay up the full 5 years remaining. I don't think we'll be seeing him signing on mind.

I don't think his squad is that old, he has managed to take a team that won the league by 11 points and then turned them into an average team. It's a no from me.

Big no for Moyes...a big no for any manager from UK from me. We need manager from abroad with new set of fresh ideas and new way of playing football. Moyes plays turgid style of football and he doesn't instill me with confidence.

There's a forgotten man in all of this. A hero who had the foresight to stand up for what he believed in.

He deserves immense credit, but what will Moyes_Must_Go change his twitter handle to now?
