Moyesy is going nowhere

Check out this hilarious vid from this very funny youtube channel.

He'll be here next season no doubt. Fergie is too stubborn. Letting him pick a manager, deary me... The Glazers have no bollocks. Fergie had no right in picking a manager.

One trophy in the cabinet already, with the CL to follow, and he's made a very promising start to his career at united.

Even bigger disgrace is the fact Fergie chose him because he was Scottish. Everyone, myself included, who said that was the reason were shouted down. Fergie then revealed that was the reason. And also because he had a 'good work ethic'...

This mess is all down to Fergie and Bobby Charlton. The Glazers should go above the pair of them and if Fergie and Bobby want to go due to it... Let them.

You really think that slur chose Moyes because of his nationality? Over and above the fact he's known and mentored him for years?

Fergie was asked at a Q&A in London regarding his book about why Moyes got the job. He also mentions why in his autobiography. He never mentioned a football reason.

From his book:

Quote:

"...They wanted a new man in place within days.

A lot of Scots have a dourness about them: a strong will. When they leave Scotland it tends to be for one reason only. To be successful. Scots don’t leave to escape the past. They move away to better themselves. You see it all over the world, in America and Canada especially. Leaving the homeland creates a certain resolution. It’s not a mask; it’s a determination to get things done. The Scottish dourness others talk about sometimes applied to me as well.

The Scotsman abroad doesn’t lack humour. David Moyes is not short of wit. In their jobs, though, the Scots are serious about their labours, an invaluable quality. People often said to me, ‘I never see you smile during a game.’ I would reply, ‘I’m not there to smile, I’m there to win the match.’

David had some of these traits. I knew his family background. His father was a coach at Drumchapel, where I played as a lad. David Moyes senior. They have a good family feel about them. I’m not saying that’s a reason to hire someone but you like to see good foundations in someone appointed to such high office. I left Drumchapel in 1957 when David senior would have been a young boy, so there was no direct crossover, but I knew their story."

The fact he was Scottish and had a good work ethic played a part is disgraceful. About time Fergie admitted he made a mistake.

I think that probably resonated more than the fact he's Scottish, but fair enough. I hadn't seen that before, and it is quite a strange thing that he highlighted his nationality. But that just makes it funnier

High office? You'd think Moyes was elected President.

Fergie recommended our owner McLeish, so Man United should never have trusted Fergie's judgement on managers

Think the only former player of his that is actually a decent coach is Bruce

Laurent Blanc doing well for himself too. Ole will do ok, but he's just picked a terrible first English job.

Forgot Blanc, but then again I didn't really think Fergie would have 'moulded' him as such or been on the end of the phone alot

Might have been though

Ole will be back managing Sunday league standard teams in Norway by next season

Sort of respected him as a manager when he turned us down, but then he went and signed for Cardiff who are much less stable than us, he'd have had a better set up here

But he'd have signed all those Norwegian jobbers
