Moyes is a good manager but not the right one for us. We will need someone outside the UK with contacts all over Europe and further afield. If we arent going to be paying big wages to average British players then we will need to have very progressive coaching and scouting. Unfortunately Moyes has failed hugely on those two fronts at Old Trafford.

Thought Moyes was a poor choice at the time but I cant believe how far United have fallen in a short space of time. Placating a fat uninterested Wayne Rooney from the outset was his biggest mistake.

Can anyone turning their noses up at Moyes throw a name in the mixer who would take us over in the current state?


I'd rather keep Lambert than end up with Moyes

Nothing against Moyes but he wouldn't be my choice.

Obviously if we end up with a new zillionaire owner and can suddenly spend Man City money we might have a wider range of options.]

However, for all the good work that Randy Lerner has done he's struggled with appointing managers. If we appointed Moyes I'd be pretty happy as there's every chance we could end up with somebody head-scratchingly woeful.

I don't want anyone else with the name 'David' to manage our club.

Including David Platt.

I'm talking about the guy from Coronation Street, not the backwards spoon-faced Jane Torvill impersonator that was one of the best players to ever wear a Villa shirt, but who is a pretty boring man and an awful manager.

In other news, Jane Torvill? I would.

But I'd be having a sly think about Chris Dean's 'triple salco'.

I'd like to keep PL but if he were to go Moyes would be a good replacement  he never stood a chance at Man U and neither will the next two or three.  If not Moyes , who?? And please no ex villa players including sid

There's no point getting someone like Moyes in. We need someone inspiring, not some other 'grafter', we've done that with MON, McLeish & Lambert. Moyes would do better than them, may even get us playing slightly better football but it will still be shite. The club needs overhauled and we need to centre on playing good attacking, stylish football, no hoof shite.
We need to create a legacy, start playing football, make us entertaining to watch, we've been shite at home for years (under MON we only won over half our home games in 1 of his 4 years), we need to sort that out first, get more home wins but playing in a decent manner.
The blind stupidity of us fans renewing will eventually stop, unless we get someone decent in I won't be renewing for the frist time in 11 years

Moyes has had an impossible act to follow this season but if we had the chance to get him in now we should take it. The guy did a fantastic job at Everton. Don't let his short period at Manchester United cloud your opinion.

It might not happen today but news like that can only be officially announced prior to trading. They had to do the same with Fergie and Gill as well.

he did do a great job, but I think the particular strengths we need in a manager now are not those that Moyes has.

Moyes would have been a great promotion after MON flounced out, for example. There would have been continuity. Or even when McLeish was appointed. Although, to be honest, given who did get appointed that time, i can think of farmyard animals who would have been better appointments.

What we need now is a root and branch overhaul of our playing style. I don't think Moyes is the man to do that.
