Don't give a stuff about them, but is this yet another case of unsettling a steady ship?

United's 2-1 home defeat by West Brom on Saturday means the club has now made its worst start to a league season for 24 years.

With the pressure already on Moyes right from the start of his Old Trafford reign, Steele has now revealed how the change was handled.

"He spoke to me, Mick and Rene," Steele told the United We Stand fanzine. "I told him I thought it was a brave decision.


"He (Moyes) listened to the manager's advice, but he wanted to be his own man."

Interesting.

Didn't actually realise that Moyes had binned Mike Phelan, Rene & Meulensteen, and brought his own goons in.

He seems a bit over his head at the minute and doesn't know his best team. His struggles in the transfer market already set him up for a hiding and he needs a quick turnaround in the league before the stands turn on him. Top 4 is by no means a guarantee this year

Ferguson back in the hot seat if things go seriously tits up for them over the winter d'ya reckon?

Quite a few of their unhappy 'fans' out there kicking off at the mo.

United will not finish in the top 4 this season ....
They r in transition .... United fans will not accept this ... Fergie has really spoiled them for yrs...feast is over for them...

United fans have been spoiled for yrs with glory n trophies

Now it's their time to feel how we have been feeling for 20+ yrs......

If moyes gets the sack this yr..,

Can see giggs, g neville, in charge with fergie as mentor and the coaching staff brought bk to the club...to steady the ship till next summer...

Moyes has spent 11 years trying to get Everton above united in the table, seems he's finally managed it!

LMCO!!

I think the club will give Moyes time. Don't know about the fans. Lets remember city are stuttering too Moyes is lucky in that respect as their big fear is city becoming the top team in manchester.

I also think they will spend big to rebuild their midfield and defence is weak.

I would never write them off we need to look closer to home we are Everton are light years behind them wth tired old stadia. Both utd and city have top stada forget current league position that is short term and transient.

Barring a relegation battle, i don't think there is a chance in hell Moyes will get the sack, nor do I think he should. I am very happy they are struggling but i believe that the management and owners over there know that he needs time. A lot of my manc supporting buddies were expecting this kind of season, don't get me wrong, they are whining and i am loving it, but they dont want him gone. They all knew they would struggle to build on last season.

Firstly, lets not forget their squad is not one built of superstars, they have 2-3 very good players, 2-3 very old players and the rest are average imo. Fergie had them playing as a team unit, but Fergie had their respect, Moyes still has to earn it. I think that 2 transitional seasons could be expected, but if they don't improve next season the pressure will build drastically. Moyes and utd had a dreadful transfer window but i fully expect them to make a huge signing in the next window, and perhaps even overpay, to compensate for their mistakes. FELLAINI, although a decent player seems like money down the drain to me.
surprisingly, news has come out that united were prepared to pay more than Real for Bale, but that he wasn't interested. The only reason they would do that, in my opinion, is to calm fans down, knowing they would struggle this season.

any manager that came in, Mourinho,Rafa, Ancelloti, would have struggled to fill the void left by Fergie. Appointing Moyes seems a good move to me in the sense that he is a manager who will grow and get better, but my opinion is that he will never be good enough to take them to the heights that Fergie managed to.

I do fear that come january, they will spend BIG, but i hope that by then it's too late for anything to seriously give them a chance of competing for the title. I also think Moyes lacks experience in managing big ego's and star players. RVP hasn't been the same this season, as good as he is, he looks a tired and nervous player nowadays, something we exposed to the maximum in our league game against them.

I really think that they will struggle to even make top 4 this season even if they strengthen in january as i expect them to.

It's like someone else said they've been spoilt for years and people get old. If it was any other way we still have one of our greatest 3 managers at the helm and won about 40 titles

Fact facing time for a few million Manc fans but they won't take it well that's for sure!
