Anyway ... this week's question....

Are Man Utd as classy as Chelsea?

[Wooderson]

Not sure what they hoped to achieve with the timing either. Were they seriously still thinking that Champions League qualification was a possibility before the weekend? I can only think they're trying to limit the damage that he's done to team morale with regards to keeping players in the Summer.

[Wooderson]

You never know he might for once come out and hold his hands up and say he was wrong. It takes a bigger man to admit his mistakes etc...

[ThomThomDrum]

Think Utd are under pressure from Spurs re: approach for Van Gaal.

[eFestivals]

All the anti Fergie stuff is utterly hilarious. Fans (LFC in particular) who are still absolutely obsessed with him trying get a last "win" in against a 72 year retired guy!

Nah, fergie's finished his career as a loser, rather than gone out with a win.

That's funny.

Apparently hes been gone since early this year.

so the Utd myth is massively more of a myth than any Utd obsessive thought. The fact that he's sacked only now shatters the myth.

News that David Moyes has been sacked reaches Merseyside (Robbed from Twitter)

[eFestivals]

Almost all Liverpool fans seem fine with the idea Moyes did a rubbish job.

[Wooderson]

Utd fans getting all butt hurt when someone criticises Ferguson cuz he's "old and retired"????

PMSL

[ThomThomDrum]

Hostage situation at Old Trafford

[TheGayTent]

I also think Sam Allardyce should be given a chance to step up for a big job.

[Wooderson]

I hope that Clayton Blackmore's tuppenceworth about Giggs "commanding respect" doesnt get lost in all the pithy abuse aimed in Ferguson's direction.

Most SAF criticism seems to be coming from United fans that I've seen - even shouting at him at Old Traddord.

[strummer77]

Haha true. Liverpool fans are gutted at the sacking. Must be the correct decision!

[Wooderson]

Giggs-as-Fergie-stooge makes more sense to me that Van Gaal somehow. Can't see "Looueh" taking as many tut tuts from the Directors box as Giggs.

[mrtourette]

Will he distance himself from the club now? They've made him look a right clown the manner in which this sacking has gone down.

[The Nal]

What are the odds that Fergie had a hand in the sacking? If hes all so powerful at Utd surely they wouldn't have sacked him without speaking to Fergie?

Edit. As above Hedge. Will be interesting to see as it plays out.

It's the most interesting thing about all this for me. I was convinced Moyes would get 2-3 years. It's now become very clear that SAF and Booy Charlton have lost any influence they had.

Unless , and I doubt this is the case, Fergie has puts his hands up and said it was the wrong decision and had a hand in the sacking.

Barca also in the market for a new "elite" manager this (World Cup) summer. Possibly Arsenal too??

Fascinating time.

[Wooderson]

Still pissing myself here at Clayton Blackmore's two cents. What a bell.
