Man United Supporters Thread (Part 45)
2 things that could've really helped Moyes this season.
1. David Gill not leaving until after the summer transfer window. For as good as Woodward has been in signing deals with Mr Potato, Aeroflot and god knows how many other bloody sponsors, he had no experience of the football transfer system. Could Gill have got Fabregas or any of the other named targets? Who knows, but I can guarantee he wouldn't have insulted Barca with a 25 million offer for Fabregas and then blowing 27 million on Fellaini.
2. Continuity with the back room staff. Obviously he was going to bring his trusted staff with him, but letting Eric Steele, Mike Phelan and Rene Mulensteen go without a fight was a mistake that's really hitting us hard now. It's been documented he asked Rene to stay, but in what role and how much did he REALLY try and persuade him.

The Sun
David Moyes reign as Manchester United boss was plunged into more crisis last night.
His struggling champions lost their third game in a row for the first time in 13 years.
They face elimination from the Capital One Cup after losing to the Premier League's Bottom side and skipper Nemaja Vidic - who scored their only goal in the semi-final first leg defeat at Sunderland - wants out.
But defiant Moyes said: 'Im determined to put it right and I sense it in the dressing room now too. Im really looking forward to the second tie now. The support was brilliant - they supported me and the team'.
'They know we are going through a difficult time and they have probably never seen it as bad as this for a long time'.
A Ryan Giggs own goal and a Fabio Borini penalty stunned United but then there was another blow last night, as Vidic's agent revealed the central defender will probably not sign a contract extension.
Vidic, 32, is to hold talks over his future in the next few weeks.
But with with just six months left on the Serbian's deal, his agent, Silvano Martina, said: 'At the moment, I would rule out an extension with United'.
Several Italian clubs including Napoli and Florentina are believed to be watching the player.
Martina added: 'Vidic, given his contract situation, has several teams looking at hiim'.
'He is a very good player and will have no trouble finding a new club. For the time being, we are remaining calm'.
Really funny
I hope we don't have another transfer window where I literally have to sit through it with my head in my hands.:(
Sincerely hoping Saturday isn't going to be four defeats in a row.
It really doesn't bear thinking about.
I agree that it was never a penalty, although it could be argued that Rafael should have gone.
Swings and roundabouts.
That's a fair point. I think the ref did really well there trying to calm him down and give him one more chance. Although if it was the opposition, I'd be calling for them to be off.
I thought it was at the time, but having seen replays I'm less convinced. Had we got one given for that there would have been uproar.
The 'tackle' summed Cleverley up perfectly though. Limp, token gesture at a challenge, having already watched Johnson get past him. Absolute fraud of a player. Giggs aged 40 and Fletcher with a chronic condition contributed more than he did.
I agree entirely with you here, it should never of being a penalty and if it had of been given the other way there would be about 5 threads made on here about United being given favourable decisions and how we have the refs in our pockets, given against us and surprise, surprise nothing is said. As for Cleverly how he is in the Manchester United squad, never mind a first team regular is a bit of a mystery, he is not United class, never has been and never will be. It says so much about our present problems when our Midfield consists of a 40 year old who although a club legend is way past his sell by date, a player who has just come back from a life altering illness and Tom Cleverly who is so out of his depth it is untrue. Sad times for United at the moment.
At the end of the summer we were on holiday with an 8 hour time difference and ended up taking stints in reception where the wifi was frantically refreshing Twitter.
M did the last bit and came back ranting that we'd signed no one. Later on at the night I said 'I can't believe we didn't sign a single player
Ha Ha.
But I take exception to the dissing of Morrisey.
Yes but we have to play him out of position because our midfield is shite.
He's the new utility player, a new John O' Shea.
Ronaldo
Michael Owen
Valencia
The last 3 no 7's to play at Utd. That's what we're dealing with now. Major surgery required unfortunately.
It'll be Januzaj next, probably next season.
Completely agree.
Ludicrous non-issue.
Hey he meets my 7 letters in the no. 7's name criteria - Cantona, Coppell, Ronaldo, Beckham (glossing over Robson and Owen and totally ignoring Valencia - the exception that proves the rule:D)
Let it be so
