SAF retires, Moyes to United?

[S4nup]

Well, it's now confirmed that Moyes is at United on a 6 year deal.

[Mk5Dom]

6 year deal.

Wow.

[rsreid2000]

I'm a big Everton fan and Although gutted to see him go I think he deserves his chance at Utd and will do well.
Everton fans best wishes will go with him.

[Jamie3184]

Good luck to him, definately deserves his chance and hope it all works out for him 

Question is who will replace Moyes now, thats a pretty big job to fill as well. Not sure if there is someone who could work with the budget he had and do as well.

i'll be giving my season ticket up if any of this list end up in charge: martinez, lennon, o'neil, aladyce, coyle, hughes, and there are more

i would be happy with laudrup

Don't blame you at all, i wouldn't want any of those in charge if i was a toffee either. Certainly not hughes or o'neil!

[Tamiyoman]

Happy its been confirmed, Moyes can do well on a shoe string budget, wonder what he can do with 60m?.

I will be supporting him for the long term, if we do not win anything for a year or 2 it's no great loss as long as he starts winning in a few years  

As long as he gets the players on side (Which should be easy enough as he was personally recommended by fergie) he should do fine.

thats the right attitude but i cant see many united fans concurring with that really, they will want the title next year as its almost expected.

time will tell. is phil neville going to be his assistant?

[wheelygood]

is phil neville going to be his assistant?

steve round is rumoured to be following moyes to OT, there are also rumours going around about neville and staying at everton in some kind of role

[beetie]

He'll be back at Everton in a swap deal for Baines....*taps nose*

won't happen, BK is working on putting a clause in place were moyes can't sign any of our players for 12-18 months

Would be difficult to do that though surely. Moyes no longer has a contract at Everton after this season.

[rdfcpete]

What worries me the most is who our bungling board have got lined up (if anyone yet), I reckon it'll be Martinez but Laudrup is quickly becoming the fans choice along with Di Matteo.

I think Laudrup has a successful managerial career ahead of him, a very wise bloke. If I was an Everton fan I'd be rooting for his appointment.
I reckon one day he'll be at Arsenal, just got that feeling...

Baines is a good player, but do United need a left back, Evra has had played well for the last 3 seasons, fellaini not sure about, might be a tad disruptive.

Baines or Felli away and it'll give the new bloke £30m plus to spend, so begrudgingly I'd say let one of em go even if it is to Utd.

All the Man United fans I know agree Evra is too hot and cold, doesn't show defensive awareness consistently plus his attitude & discipline has sometimes been in question.

Baines and Fellaini would be very good signings for United IMO!

[Tamiyoman]

Amongst most of my (United supporting) mates we all rate Evra, seems to get better every year.

Most of my mates are long term supporters (all being in the 30-45 age range) so 1-2 years winning nothing is no great bones (As long as its Chelski and not City or Arsenal winning  )

Baines would be a good signing, don't get me wrong, but he would likely be sharing pitch time, problem is with RB/CB they are either good at going forward or defending, not usually both   

Fellaini, totally unsure about him, Fergie had a habit of removing unruly players from his squads, not sure that would go down to well.

Ronaldo in, Rooney out, would go for that, as others have said Rooney has not been at his best for 12-18 months, only 2 years left on his contract, sell him now and spend wisely.

 

[rdfcpete]

Interesting. I hear a lot of "Evra was asleep for that goal" comments. Going forward, he's decent though - goes forward more confidently than Valencia most of the time! Don't know how (injury aside) he's progressed from an explosive, exciting winger into a confidence lacking right back over the last two seasons...

Fellaini is controversial no doubt, he won't keep a squeaky clean record with referees as we know - but isn't he the central midfielder United have been crying out for over the last few seasons? I felt if you'd of signed a Rafael VDV or Wes Sneijder (wages aside, they were both had for good money!) you wouldn't have needed Scholesy' to come back and sit alongside Carrick?

So, Fellaini could offer something there.

Serious question - who'll take Rooney? Massive wage demands, off pitch baggage, needs constant ego management and arguably past his absolute best?

[Kalpsn2000]

I was slightly in shock yesterday. But I guess it was coming although expected it to be next year.

Yes United fans are in the habit of winning silverware but I'm sure, like Tamiyoman and myself, united fans understood that the day that Fergie retired it would be a massive loss and we have to accept that we might not win anything for the next few years, as united rebuild/readjust under new management.

But will be interesting to see what Moyes can do
