I reckon Guardiola would genuinely be tempted if they paid off his Bayern contract.
a) He wants to prove hes better than Mourinho
b) Its more of a building job than he had at Bayern
c) Everything he touches is turning to gold, so probably thinks he can win it all
I think van Gaal is too old and set in his ways to make Man U champions league winners again. Surely they want someone younger and more revoltionary (Guardiola/ Simeone/ Pochettino). They need to build a new style from scratch after the Ferguson years

Or steal Brendan Rodgers from Liverpool. That would be the best tactical decision to get a good up-and-coming British manager and fuck Liverpool over at the same time.

I was surprised he wasn't fired after playing Rooney just in front of his centre backs while losing at the Brit. He obviously caught a bit of the lingering insanity that Pulls was displaying in his last couple of years there.

I'd now be very surprised if Moyes got sacked before the end of the season - this has become a media wank fest and I just can't see Man U not sticking two fingers up at the journalists peddling this story. He may well go before the summer starts, but this would be a huge mistake, IMO, for Man Ure. Not that I'm bothered - easy come, easy go as far as I'm concerned! Well - I got this completely wrong. Then again I just didn't expect Manchester United Football Club to be so feeble.

Scudamore probably got Moyes the sack from his beloved 'global brand' because we can't have Man Utd not winning titles and cups, can we?

Too true, staffs. The difference between now and then is that the top clubs now must promise champions league to keep and bring in the best players. And the money drops massively without the champions league. A few years without qualification - soon becomes a decade without - as Chelski, Citeh, Scousers, Arse, Everton and Spoz all steadily improve ... and before you know it, you're looking for a Saint Brendan to dig you out of the long term malaise you're mired in. The Glaziers have no money - What United need is a Chinese billionaire to take them under his wing (that should finish them off!). I'm surprised they chucked Moyes so early; but he never was the right appointment and was probably the clearest sign that the old man was losing the plot (a bit). In the end, they appointed the closest thing Fergie could find to himself, twenty odd years ago; but expected him to perform like the Fergie of last year. I think a spell as the new Tottenham Hotspurs beckons for manure. There's not much in that squad to work with, and it seems unlikely any transfer kitty will rival Citeh or Chelski; and even if it does compete with the Scousers and Arse, they both play champ league next season. You never know. If the red half of Asia decides it is more fun watching the blue half of Manchester (or Liverpool, because they play in red) then it could be a long spell as Newcastle in the offing for manure. Now wouldn't that be sad (But it's nice for Giggsy to get the nod ... presumably The Class of 92 are sticking with buying Salford, and not think of putting in a cheeky bid to the Glaziers!? ) "The red half of Asia" might start supporting Cardiff! They don't show The Championship live in Asia

There will be a lot of everton fans at my work place today laughing there heads off at this news.
However, Moyes was the wrong appointment. I do think it is a sad indication that he has had to fight not only the fans & media but the players as well.
Nah sod it, he knew what he was letting himself in for & that severance pay will soften the blow of being sacked from a job even he must have known was to big for him.

Part of the Fergusson legend at Man Utd is how the club stood by the manager in very difficult times early in his tenure; by early I don't mean the first year but the first 4 or 5 years. The lesson was that backing your manager through tough times produces results in the long term. Takes some balls to do that though - the easy option is to sack the manager. Which is what they've done, and why the word feeble is entirely appropriate.

Jeurgen Klopp is probably the most likely replacement. ..despite what Jeurgen's being saying.
And that's great news because it provides us with material for some great songs;

Man Utd have a record of appointing Scottish managers, the likes of Busby, Ferguson, so maybe Gordon Strachan will be in the running?
Giggs as interim manager will have the full support and input from Sir Alex in my opinion - a big help in getting the fans on side
A major issue is the fact that Liverpool are in pole position to win the Premiership as well as the loss of Champions League football
Another concern maybe Man Utd show some interest in Ryan Shawcross as many comments this morning are referring to their weaker defence
However I think they will need to be seen to bring in "proven stars: so that may help us hang on to Ryan
Once again, we have a lot to be grateful for from the Coates family at this moment in time

RVP won the premiership for an otherwise ordinary MUFC team, and this season they have shown how ordinary they really are. Moyes was on a hiding to nothing trying to get them to repeat the feat with that squad. I notice the players as per usual when a manager is sacked arent taking any responsibility for being crap. On the plus side it mean mufc arent champions or playing in europe. Who ever takes over is going to need a whole new squad.

I'd have thought that with no positional advantage to play for they'd have given him till the end of season. Doing it now is obviously a fiscal consideration. It's all to do with share holders, shirt sales and I suppose season tickets for next season. Stick Giggs in with nothing to lose and calm the nervous investors. then get in somebody with a big name and a powerful CV in the next few months. And fergie was one fa cup match away from the sack and look what happened.

Sick of this already. Why should they have a Devine right to win things. This to me speaks volumes about all that's wrong about football and the money men that run or should I say ruin the bloody game. GREED! As I say, sick of hearing about this already. Just been having a go at the wife because she's a manure fan.

Nothing at all in the media about certain players on 300k a week or, others already looking ahead to the world cup that have let their manager down badly ?
strange eh ?
Rooney* - Van Persie* et al - take a bow !
(overpaid & overrated wasters)
(Interesting to also look at the 'big' players at other clubs now the World cup* is in near vision - how their injuries seem to take longer - shitting out of tackles - keeping themselves fresh --etc etc )
strangely this does not apply to Suarez - still an annoying mad fucker -still giving his all to the very end but then again, he has a motivation
* an impending festival of 'Fallover football'.

Would be interesting to see if Guardiola was tempted to leave his comfy, snug surroundings at Bayern for a more challenging role.
Rumour has it that he and someone high in the hierarchy over there don't get on.
For me, Guardiola is a class manager but is he world class as I cannot judge that on him joining a club like Bayern who practically own the Bundesliga.
Plus he could renew his rivalry with Mourinho.

I've seen it theorised that the sacking has come now because of some contractual issue, as the Everton game made fourth place mathematically impossible.

so even the 'mighty' manure have fallen foul of the obscene race for cash. I guess it was inevitable once the Galzers pawned the family silver to lumber the reds with so much debt to finance.
I just hope that the next 3 or 4 appointments fail just as badly and that debt keeps on climbing!
