if he was 21 at the start of the season he can still be used
----------------------------------------------------------------------

he was 22

stupid tbh, when Fabio left it freed up a space. Dunno why he wasn't added. I'm not sure if they added Lingard but he's out on loan again now too

or he was 21 (October 91) haha... i dunno... i cant count at the best of times.

not sure if the rule is 21 at the start of the season and he can play or under 21 and he can play?

My 2 bits worth:

Should only be sacked now if they had their next man lined up--so he would have games to evaluate players and develop his transfer strategy. Lacking that, there is no point in sacking him now.

The only way I could see him at ManU next year is a fabulous run in and CL run--say he wins 10/12 PL, overturns Olympikios (sp?) and advances to semi finals. Chances of that are remote in the most emphatic way in my opinion.

ManU obviously needs to spend in the summer, and I wouldn't give funds to a manager I had doubts is up to it.

Therefor, I think their board is going to let him finish the year whilst they prepare a list of managers they want. Discretely they may approach some towards end of April, have it lined up to announce directly after last game.


The new manager, imo, needs to be in place early enough to do some transfers. Tbf, I think if this transpires DM could feel hard done by, as likely his successor will get funds (100-200M) to start his reign that he(DM) didn't get.

As an LFC fan I will be honest in that I hope you don't find the right fit straight away--but for tradition / rivalry and knowing how it has felt for us, hope it does get sorted in your favor in next 10-20 years

12 games?

hasn't he been given 6 seasons?

12 game ban is probably more apt.

janko does mean a good prospect and so does wilson, usually i wouldn't rush in a youngster but with our current situation then why not


put them on for a little bit and see how they do,

Sacking him now sends out a signal to players like Van Persie, who might be on his way by the end of the season if Moyes isn't fired. It sends the message to fans and players that the owners understand and are willing to do something about it. That might keep important players happy until the end of the season and might get a boost in performance by changing things around a bit.

--------
agree with that. Why throw good money after bad by giving him a pay off?

Judging by his last 12 games he'll be gone...What was it again, 4 game won in his last 12?

You have been spoilt for so many years that you find it extremely difficult to deal with adversity.
You have no God given right to employ someone who fits all your expectations and to do so immediately upon the passing into retirement of one of the all time greatest Managers.
He knew the time to go, knew his squad was ageing and would be struggling to compete this season and , recommended Moyes for the job.
To say that he (Moyes) is unable to motivate his Team is ludicrous. They earn too much and yet seem willing to go out and insult you Fans by turning in sub-par performnces whilst pocketing the money. You seem reluctant to accept this and look to it as an excuse to have a go at Moyes until such time as he ill be forced out.
You do not seem able to digest the length and cost to your club if his six year contract were to be terminated. It would certainly impinge upon any funds being made available to any successor.
Blame the Team first and show a little patience and humility. It is going to take some time for your club to return to its former health.
