Nellie The Don Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 Wenger has been my thought as soon as it happened tlg, so you're not alone. Either that or, maybe, Hughes? Reckon he'd be tempted away from Inverness? Quote
Kowalski Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 Reckon he'd be tempted away from Inverness? Somebody (the Glazers?) have been very unprofessional in the way it was all over t'internet the day before the sacking. Moyes deserved better. Hope he is a success at a club akin to Everton, that sort of size of club will suit him again. Quote

BobbyBiscuit Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 That was only because of Fergie's willpower last season. Already the signs were there that too many players were either past it, not good enough or just "coasting". Scholes? I'm not just talking about last season. The set up I said which is how the club is structured - getting rid of the whole coaching staff for his own was a huge, and obvious, error. However, taking your point there, United didn't purely win the league last season because of Fergie. They won it because they have good players, like it or not. To listen to some folk you'd think it was an exceptionally poor squad he had... Fergie is the best manager ever in my opinion, but he's not a miracle worker. And you're using Scholes as an example of coasting? He hardly played, his legs had gone, but I think you're well wide of the mark to accuse him of coasting when he played. Do we really think Fergie would allow his players to coast? Quote
baggy89 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Fergie had been at Utd so long his and the methods of his staff (coaches and players) had/have become institutionalized. By getting rid of the existing coaching staff and implementing his own methods Moyes not only alienated the players he probably also confused them. If ever there was a case for succession planning, with the new manager working alongside the existing one it was there, however the personality required to "manage" a club like united would have no doubt led to conflict rendering that virtually impossible. If Moyes had been sensible he'd have cruised his first season. Kept Phelan et al, completed the signings already lined up. His ego wouldn't let him though. That said there are too many players there that are not good enough to form such a large part of a top side. Quote
Kowalski Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 DONS boss Derek McInnes is among those being linked to take over as the next manager West Bromwich Albion. McInnes is in the frame after the Baggies axed Pepe Mel after just six months in charge. The former Baggies captain is a favourite of the Albion fans after three successful seasons playing at The Hawthorns. The Aberdeen FC boss recently signed a new long-term contract at Pittodrie, but that hasn’t stopped him from being listed among the favourites with bookies down south. Neil Lennon, Malky Mackay, Chris Hughton and Tim Sherwood have also been strongly linked. West Brom sporting director Richard Garlick said: “We aim to find the most suitable candidate who will enable the club to be more competitive next season.” Quote
BigAl Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Sherwood's odds might just shorten given the fact he's now available. Fucking shocking treatment from Spurs Quote

Kowalski Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Former Manchester United manager David Moyes is being investigated by police after a scuffle in a Lancashire wine bar, the BBC understands. Officers were called to the Emporium bar in Clitheroe at about 22:00 BST on Wednesday following reports a 23-year-old man had been assaulted. Lancashire Police said the man had not needed hospital treatment. A spokesman said officers were looking into "differing accounts" of what happened and no-one had been arrested. The scuffle happened outside the Emporium, a spokesman for the bar said. Moyes was sacked as United's manager in May after 10 months in the role. Before he took over at the club, he had been in charge at Everton for more than a decade. Quote

BobbyBiscuit Posted August 15, 2014 Report Posted August 15, 2014 Probably jumped at the right time. Stock is high, was he going to beat an 11th place finish when his board didn't back him in the transfer market? I would be surprised if he's out of work for long... could be a good bet for the next Aston Villa manager. Quote

He will be first choice for whichever team is struggling come the end of November. Quote
scotfree Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 Malky Mackay's fucked up big time. http://www.thesportbible.com/articles/revealed-the-sickening-messages-sent-between-mackay-and-moody In July 2012, Cardiff signed South Korean international Kim Bo-kyung, but when Moody informed Mackay on July 12 that ‘five of the b******s including the player’ were arriving for talks, the reply from Mackay’s phone was: ‘Fkn chinkys.’ A further message says: ‘Fk it. There’s enough dogs in Cardiff for us all to go around.’ In reference to the prominent football agent, Phil Smith, a text states: ‘Go on, fat Phil. Nothing like a Jew that sees money slipping through his fingers’. The Israeli club, Maccabi Tel Aviv, are also referred to simply as ‘the Jews’. A football official at another club is referred to as ‘a gay snake’ and ‘the homo’ and someone who is ‘not to be trusted’, while a French player is someone ‘who struck me as an independently minded young homo’. An exchange with a young player who has a female agent makes reference to a sex act and states: ‘I hope she’s looking after your needs,’ the player is then told. ‘I bet you’d love a bounce on her falsies.’ On August 16, 2012, a list of players proposed by a French agent is forwarded, stating to Mackay that ‘he needs to rename his agency the All Blacks’. A separate text in reference to a list of French players states: ‘Not many white faces amongst that lot but worth considering.’ In a separate exchange a picture entitled ‘Black Monopoly’ is sent, with every square a ‘Go To Jail’ square. Of one African player, it is stated: ‘Doesn’t look like a good cv. And he’s Nigerian.’ Quote
