Yeah, and they were dreadful champions, Van Persie carried them that season.
I’m not saying he did even a remotely good job, but it was a poisoned chalice.
Fergie knew what he was doing when he called time.
He knew most of that team needed replacing.
However having moyes take over was terrible decision.
My mate phoned me to tell me ferguson was calling it quits and Moyes was 6/4 fav to replace him and i started laughing because i honestly thought he was messing about.
When it became clear that it was going to happen i told anyone that could be bothered to listen that it would end in tears before the season finished.
A madhouse appointment
No point in spending 100 million and leaving them on the bench when needed moyes might not have wanted some of them but he has to integrate them into the team
Moyes did mention bedding new players in, thinking back how long was it before Baines got in the team? He was playing Lescott at LB for a good while. That turned out well so maybe all is not lost with Dibling etc. he’s had no choice but to use Barry because Beto’s been so shit
Saying that Moyes seemed a lot more positive and forward thinking last season than he has so far this
