And yet they will play in Europe next season whilst Moyes failed yet again.
Anyway Mancs
Moyes
City or Chelsea for the title tbh
Cheeky bid for Wazza?
United may have the reputation but so did Liverpool and look where they are
Ferguson left because he knew that this is a club in decline, there isn't the money there to replace their ageing stars and their over-rated dross and it was clear that they smashed every piggy bank in Old Trafford to fuck to get the cash together to buy Van Persie. Look at their wage bill as well it must be as bloated as Elvis Presley's corpse when they found it....and it's not like anyone decent is being produced by their youth academy.
A team that had to bring Scholes out of retirement, a midfield of Carrick and Cleverley; it must have taken every ounce of willpower from Ferguson to win them the title this season even with Van Persie banging in goals right, left and centre.
Players and coaches want silverware. Finishing 6th doesn't mean much. A new club like Swansea finishing 9th and winning a cup is pretty impressive.
the debate isnt about what fans and coaches want, its about the managers credentials.
finishing high in the premier league is much harder than winning a cup.
It's a bit of a pointless comparison given Moyes has been there a million years, whereas this is only Laudrup's first season in this country.
True indeed but Liverpool rolled the dice far too many times and Rafa left them in terrible shape. They took on Hodgson which was a bad move; it's similar to what United are doing now and then they took on King Kenny and gave him access to their piggybank. Huge mistake. Now Rodgers is struggling and having to trying to work with kids.
United have dominated the Prem for years now and I can't see them falling apart like Liverpool unless they fall on some real hard times financially. It's not impossible though and Fergie done a great job to win the league with that team.
Do you expect Swansea to finish higher than Everton when they've only just started life in the Prem? They're a newly promoted team. The debate is about credentials and if you read around you'll hear people say that Moyes shouldn't be the boss of Man Utd because of his lack of credentials. He'll be tested and we'll soon find out.
