    Can't blame Fergie at all really mate, he decided to step down because his wife was lonely after her sisters death. Blame the board and Moyes, we cruised the title the year Fergie left and still had the core of a great team. Moyes f----- it right up

    d---. Think its the right decision? I know he's not been great this year but last season he was a beast.

    No. He deserved at least another year. Our club has been treating legends like s--- lately.

    Him and Gill could have planned for his retirement though, that's what i'm saying. I mean who did he sign, potential wise that was good enough to be a future first team player?

    He only had 6 months notice, it was an aging squad but a very good one, we couldnt rely on fergie to build a team for a new manager. Moyes shoulve dealt with that in the summer, Scholes retired and he signed Fellaini fs.

    But Fergie knew that he wasn't going to be united manager for much longer a couple seasons before he retired but i guess you can only get who is available. Who do you prefer, LVG or Moyes lol?

    Think he would've done more had he a few seasons to get long term replacements in, but it was short notice and quite a sudden decision if I remember rightly, at the beginning of the season he had no thoughts of retiring. Should pushed the boat for Jose before he went to Chelsea, but apparently some people (Bobby Charlton) don't like him. Lvg by far compared to Moyes

    Yh maybe m8... i don't like Jose football whatsoever but anything is better than what we're playing atm. I think i prefer Moyesey to LVG, the football was a bit better and i think if he had more time he could have adapted to the United way

    Disagree mate, Moyes was a joke. The football was a terrible and he made us an embarrassment, every team that went at us beat us and I don't think he beat anyone in the top 10. He took a title winning team to 7th. Lvg may not be the best but he's done his job so far

    I'm not saying Moyes was good but compare Moyes season to this one under LVG nad Moyes has done better. LVG had a decent season last year but this one has been embarrassing, he needs to go, he's ruining our club.

    No he hasn't. The football has been atrocious. United kicked out of easiest CL group. Not even in top 4 after spending £250M. Literally the the whole fan base have wanted him out for weeks.

    So have I, but you can't blame him for Rooney being s--- until now and injuries to all our full backs. We will finish top 4 at least, we had a VERY bad December but I remain optimistic

    Kinda blindly. It'll be a fight for top 4. No assurance. With the form that Spurs and Leicester are in right now.

    No chance, do you remember getting pumped by city and Liverpool back to back? All the embarrassing Old Trafford defeats? At least we still have a slim shot at the title now

    With the amount of £ spent we should really be top 3. LVG has only signed players for HIS philosophy and that sucks and it hasn't worked in the prem.
