It always amazes me how fickle and lacking in foresight football is. Did anyone really expect Moyes to better Sir Alex? Of course there was going to be a dip in performance!
At the beginning of his days at Man U , Sir Alex was almost sacked but they kept faith with him and look what happened. Liverpool in their glory days always kept faith with their managers even with a dip in form. So did Leeds United.
It is a known fact that sacking a manager doesn't lead to better performance immediately. Moyes had a 6 year contract and sacking him after 1 of them is bizarre.
If some of the overpaid darlings in the dressing room didn't like him they could go and play for Chelsea!
I remember van Gaal at Ajax back in 1995 and he is a great manager. But if he gets the job do you really think he can win the championship in his first season?

I disagree.
He'd clearly lost the dressing room, he blew £30 million on Fellaini when we desperately needed to bolster our defense, he played players out of position, and he couldn't decide on his starting 11, with something like 51 different line ups in 51 games!
Other managers have vastly improved clubs in their first year - Martinez at Everton, for example - so that begs the question of why Moyes couldn't.
I think his biggest mistake was to mess with a winning formula though. He should have stuck with Fergie's backroom staff and his core methodology, and maybe made little tweaks here and there, rather than replacing a winning formula with a losing one.

Fottballers have huge egos - they are young millionaires.
That dressing room was full of Champions, some of them have won numerous PL medals. Some of them have won the CL, and most of them have tons of International caps..............David Moyes has none of that
That instantly makes him a source of ridicule - what could he possibly say or do that will inspire those players?

looks like van gaal is in the hot seat now. Would have to think moyes was sacked weeks ago judging off the speed of the appointment.
other reports saying utd are denying it.

According to a ratings site, Liverpool are too low at the current price of 1.76-7: http://www.soccer-rating.com/calculator ... 2s=chelsea
