    3 Reasons Why Manchester United Should Bite The Bullet And Sack David Moyes

    As a Manchester United season ticket holder, it's been a tough few weeks for me. Seeing our players get spanked by the likes of West Brom has had me pulling my hair out, similarly to the rest of the season. So, here are three reasons I think the Glazers should bite the bullet and get rid of David Moyes before January to save our season. Don't shoot me, fellow Mancs.

    1) Transfer Dealings

    The former Everton boss proved that he's limp in the transfer window. Not only did we miss out on almost every player we were reported to be interested in, and brought in Marouane Fellaini, who has been angling for a move away from Goodison Park for some time now, in my opinion.

    When the January transfer window rolls around I want someone in charge of my club who can command dealings and bring in players at a high level.

    2) Zero respect

    Not only does Moyes seem to lack the respect from officials, opposition managers and the press, but it looks as if the players aren't putting in the level of effort that they did previously. Players like Rio Ferdinand, Rafael and Robin van Persie have blatantly dropped their energy levels.

    3) Mentality

    Manchester United are a club famous for fighting until the death, ripping apart lesser opposition and never knowing when they're beat. However, the frail performance against West Brom last weekend just about sums us about at the moment - weak with no urgency.

    Disagree. I'm not happy with Moyes at the moment but that entirely has to do with his philosophy and tactical management. The 3 areas you state:

    1) Transfer dealings had little to do with Moyes who would have spent the whole of last season looking for bargains under 3million as was his approach at Everton. To be suddenly thrust into United he will have had to rely on the scouting system and the new CEO. He was failed by both and desperately went for a player he trusted in Fellaini. A player I am not convinced by on his first few appearances....more due to his attitude and appreciation of tracking his man more than anything else.

    2 & 3 are basically the same point. I believe both of these are affected by his current tactical approach. It's very defensive, and when we do attack seems to be about getting the ball wide and crossing.....which doesn't suit the rest of the team.

    For me, he just needs to be braver. To realise that United fans expect attacking football and that we can take bad results at the start of his tenure as long as he is seen to be taking the game too teams. Fans will forgive losing because of a little naivity, they won't forgive losing due to cowardice.

    With whom are you going to replace him?
    Who would be a better option?
    Who is available?

    Many (myself included) might prefer Jurgen Klopp as UTD's manager, but is he free and willing to come?

    Why would Moyes come in and try and play a different style of football with the same team, when Fergies style has been the biggest success in club football in history ?

    Alex Ferguson handpicked David Moyes to be in charge of Manchester United only because 10 - 12 years ago he promised to take David Moyes as assisstant coach instead he choose Steve MacLaren, as for old friend sake,this time he picked David Moyes knowing that Manchester United will goes down the virals.
    DM never improved Everton for 11 years, ( I'm sure Alex Ferguson knows that), now he need time to study the players? David M, You need to be incharged of U16 or Man United need to sent DAVID MOYES OUT / LOAN TO OTHER CLUB, SO HE CAN GET MORE EXPOSURE BEFORE TAKING CHARGE OF MAN UNITED 1st TEAM.
    There will be no WORLD CLASS PLAYERS WHO WANTS TO PLAY UNDER DAVID M at the moment.
    Lack of IDEAS, NO TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE, TOO PROUD to get assistance / ideas / advice from the experienced
    EX officials,INSTEAD HE TOOK IN HIS '' SPECIAL STAFF '' who don't have any ideas at all. WHAT A JOKE ..!!!! Dare not go aggresively and does not have that technics / TACTICS to mix and blend the experienced and new capable players.
    JUST TO SIGN " A PLAYER ' he end up go to Everton, ( Thats the only place that he can sign "": A PLAYER ?? """) took Fellini at $27 MIL with 13 goals whereas Alex Ferguson took RVP ( 36 GOALS ) for $25Mil. That shows that DM doesn't have any experienced at all in regards to be Man United manager and don't forget another JOKER / CLOWN with very TINY TINY BRAINED CEO ED WOODWARD !!!!!!!!!!!! THE BIGGEST JOKES MAN UNITED HAD IN HISTORY. The GLAZER WILL BE SQUEEZED BIG TIME.

    Moyes tried for 11 years to get Everton above United he's now done that as our manager in 5 matches let's hope it doesn't take him 11 years to get United back above Everton, as for sacking him that's not nor should be Uniteds style give him a chance to find his feet and then judge him
