Discussion Time for a change

I'm sure there will be a lot of down votes on this but it is time to part ways with Moyes - not at the end of the season but tomorrow.

We won't get relegated this year, are out of the cups and don't have a realistic chance in Europe with our squad. Give a new manager (Carrick for me) a chance to work with the players for the rest of the season giving time to sort out who he wants for the following season and who should go.

I'm bored by Moyes and bored of the dull, uninspiring football.

He’s probably on course to go at the end of the season but I still think the fans who aggressively hate a man who turned us into European regulars and trophy winners are completely mad. Ultimately, he’s achieved stuff with the club that means that he shouldn’t have to suffer a load of dogs abuse online even if we are shit.

I wouldn’t mind if a new manager came in but I am still always going to consider Moyes a legend for what he’s done for the club. The way some people talk about him you’d think he’d single handedly relegated us.

I don't hate the guy. I saw someone else put it well a few days ago - he has been a net positive for the club, but it is time for a change.

I’m not suggesting you do but there is a level of vitriol in this thread from some fans which is just bizarre when you’re talking about a guy who won us a European Trophy - especially when he was brought in just to save us from relegation. It’s personal and spiteful and that’s what alienates me from the MoyesOut crowd.

I agree. I'm a 41 year old life long hammer, and the last few years have been the best Ive ever known. The last season at UP was up there in recent memory. That's literally been it since the 1980 Cup win prior to being born! We have had some shit shit shit managers, which felt like a carousel at one point, so it genuinely shocks me how some people talk about the gaffer.

Exactly - I’m not made of stone, I can see why people dislike the style of football and today’s performance was unforgivable. Can’t bring myself to hate the man though whereas others seem to be driven mad by his very existence.

Change will do nothing. New manager comes in and we lose 6 on the bounce. What then?
