- OOJ - Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and David Moyes (Reuters)
When Sir Alex Ferguson bow last season and hand pick the then Everton boss David Moyos a lot of football analys around the world saw it as a reward for hard work considering the fact that Moyes sent 11 years of coaching/managerial life with one club. The question that was not consider then was is "United looking for a Manager or longetivity" ? Well as harsh as it sounds I think they pay more attention to the later.If the idea of attempting to emulate Chelsea isn't favourable to them, United would do well to considerLiverpool’s fate over the past 20 years. Then they may soon change their tune.
The 20-times league champions would be reluctant to take any tips from Chelsea, but there are lessons to be learned from the Blues. Andre Villas-Boas was named manager of the London-based club in June of 2011, but the Portuguese manager – who cost them over £13 million in compensation from Porto – failed to impress at Stamford Bridge.If the idea of attempting to emulate Chelsea isn't favourable to them, United would do well to considerLiverpool’s fate over the past 20 years. Then they may soon change their tune.
"King" Kenny Dalglish, who had a similar iconic status at Anfield as Ferguson did at Old Trafford, resigned as Reds manager in 1991, with Graeme Souness the man selected to replace him.
Under Dalglish Liverpool had been league champions three times and FA Cup winners twice, and had never finished lower than runners-up during the Scotsman’s five-and-a-half years in charge.
But during three-and-half unfruitful years in charge of the Reds, Souness could only guide Liverpool to a highest finish of sixth. The manager was sacked midway through the 1994/95 season, and the once-great club have searched for a league title ever since. Liverpool’s first season under Souness was an embarrassment and he should have been shown the door, but he wasn’t – a fine example of a manager being given too much time.
Sacking David Moyes may lead to a managerial merry-go-round, something Manchester United – who had 27 years of consistency, reliability and success – are not used to.
But game has changed since they gave all that time to Ferguson at the start of his regime in the eighties.
Sacking Moyes would be a financial burden but any compensation due would pale in comparison to the figures they would lose if they slip out of the Champions League reckoning.
The crisis in the red half of Manchester in recent time shouldn't have come as a huge surprise to many who follow the procedures or process at which Moyes was handed the big job, by big Sir Alex Ferguson to fill a very Big a shoe of his. Before Moyes was considered by the board they were some big name managers waiting deligently around the world for the seat, with report linking Mourinho and others to fill the void then but the special one later got his dream job at Chelsea. You've been the most experience of my life now is time to get behind your new manager, those was the word of Sir Alex ferguson which I think the fans should not honour anymore. But it’s now time they stopped getting behind their manager, because he’s the wrong man for the job - and the defeat to Sunderland in the semi-final of the League Cup is last piece of evidence needed. The United board need to hold their hands up and admit they made a mistake, thank Moyes for his efforts, and part ways. Manchester United aren't a club to make snap decisions – they did honour the Scot with a six-year deal, after all – but, with over half of the season gone, a change needs to be made if they are to resurrect their shambolic campaign or even make top four position this season.The 20-times league champions would be reluctant to take any tips from Chelsea, but there are lessons to be learned from the Blues.
