It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Taken 50/1 on the draw for the Baggies. Well we are only 3-1 down and the second half to come.

I know I know but hey what the hell

Blimey Martini, not sure if that bet is brave or insanity, fine line between the two suppose :O)

I should have got 25/1 for drawing the second half! I was robbed.

I think my next bet will be on Moyes keeping his job. Can't be wrong twice can I?

Chuck it on Cardiff staying up , we're gonna beat Sunderland away Saturday then draw away at Newcastle the following week then get at least a point against Chelsea last game of season.

Sunderland . Fulham and Norwich (sorry Harrycat) are going down.

David Moyes: Manchester United manager sacked by club

Manchester United manager David Moyes has been sacked, only 10 months after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.

The club had previously refused to comment on national newspaper reports on Monday that Moyes would be dismissed before the end of the season.

Moyes, 50, was chosen by Ferguson as the man to succeed him when he retired after 26 years in charge last summer.

Moyes left Everton to sign a six-year deal with the Premier League champions.

More to follow.

He was useless.

Malky for Man U .... he's even worse :-)

Grim Reaper .... Ironic, job done at Goodison :O) Newcastle next stop for Moyes?

Zaha's gonna be gutted , he was banging his daughter apparently.

Yeah right ....

No sympathy, poisoned chalice following old red nose. His career choice. Sir Alex did EFC massive favour, if it had been up to our chairman (Betty Turpins son) Moyes would have had a job for life at Goodison.

£6 million squid for ten months of disaster, plus pay off, cheer up Davy Moyes how bad can it be for a shit football manager destroying a Championship winning team?

Hey GF .... Your cue, Gigsy is our leader, Gigsy is our leader :O) Next.

This is the reason he was sacked.

At least Man U will fare better playing away under Giggs.

lol Hilary

Insult to injury?

Man Utd: Sir Alex Ferguson to help select David Moyes's replacement

Moyes sacked after just 10 months

The Grim Reaper, planted at the United game on Sunday as a stunt by Paddy Power, taunts David Moyes from the stands at Goodison Park David Moyes, the former Everton manager, who made the move to "better things" at Old Trafford last May has been unceremoniously dismissed from his post as manager of Manchester United after just 10 months in the job.
He leaves along with the retinue of backroom staff he took with him from Everton on the heels of an ignominious defeat at Goodison Park, where his replacement, Roberto Martinez, masterminded a convincing 2-0 win for the Blues.

Media outlets were clearly briefed of the 50-year-old's impending dismissal yesterday but confirmation of the move didn't come the Manchester club until this morning. Moyes leaves Old Trafford having presided over Man Utd's worst points tally in the Premier League era and the former Champions look likely to miss out on a place in Europe as well.

Moyes left Goodison Park with a hero's send-off last May but the relationship with Everton soured with his pursuit of Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini and a pair of derisory bids for the two players that were summarily rejected. The Scot's assertion that Everton should let the players go "to further their careers" did not go down well with Blues' fans and he returned to his old stomping ground on Sunday to a muted but audible jeers before the match ended with chants of "sacked in the morning" from home fans.

405 Posted 22/04/2014 at 10:25:34 Part of the problem with Moyes was that when he was here, the management fawned all over him, so it appears he was never challenged. Plus the majority of the support was up his arse, falling for the line that we couldn't get any better than him and his methods. He had no reason to doubt himself, then he turned up at a club where the management and supported demanded results, success and high standards.
After a good few years here, he had the opportunity to raise his game and ambitions, but he still talked as if we were still the club he joined, rather than club he had built up. Every time he raised expectations, he failed to deliver. He couldn't take us further forward, so he wasn't going to do it there. Quite telling that he only looked at home when they were the underdogs against Bayern.

What a lucky break we got when Ferguson took him off us! Thanks Alex!

414 Posted 22/04/2014 at 10:49:11 I never rated Moyes when he was with us. I always thought he was way too negative (maybe being a defender was the reason) and focused too much on the opposition obsessively that it stopped our players focusing on their game.
I could never understand what the media (and my friends) saw in Moyes. Maybe because we had very little money and had the odd decent season or two. He was a bottle merchant when it came to playing the big teams, the Liverpool FA Cup semi final a few years back was when I finally lost faith in him completely.

Man United were fools to have him take over. He had never won anything with us in 11 years how the hell does that make him a good choice for one of the biggest teams in the world?

His parting shots at our players being held back by not joining him made me lose all respect for him.

435 Posted 22/04/2014 at 11:43:04 For years, the media kept telling us how good Moyes was. It was obvious to Evertonians he was limited, a negative mindset, and a constant desire not to risk anything. Young players saw the first team then had to wait and wait, this year he did the same with Januzaj.
Now, the media tells us Moyes was always the wrong choice and he is negative and inadequate. Going to Manchester United didn't make him that way, that was his philosophy.

I'll never forgive him for the cup semi-final against Liverpool, we took the lead, and we're palpably the better team; what did Moyes do? He pulled Cahill back in to the midfield and hoped to hold on to a one goal lead for and hour. That mindset was unchangeable and it was obvious to all, yet journalists kept telling us we had a great manager.

Now suddenly they've discovered the truth. Letters and articles on ToffeWeb, including my own could have told them that eight years ago.
