Fellani plays big man football and he is a celebrity on the pitch. His game is slow and it appears though there is a girl in the stand he is trying to impress.

Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick have welcomed the appointment of David Moyes at Old Trafford and paid tribute to his success at Everton.

Rio said: "It was important the club made a decision quickly and got it all sorted before people could start making rumours.

"It's great to see the new manager coming in, we've never had a problem with him here at United, he's a very honest man from the players you speak to and he's done a fantastic job at his previous club Everton.

"I'm sure he'll be very, very open and sympathetic to the traditions of the club and try and continue that and not come in and try and make crazy changes in terms of the whole characteristics of the club."

Michael Carrick said: "He's done a terrific job at Everton, he's been there a long time and has had great success with the resources he's had. It's obviously a big change because this club's been run for so long by one person.

"I'm really looking forward to meeting him and getting good training in pre-season and looking forward to a good future. He's honest and fair to his players as far as I'm aware. He sets high standards just as he expects high standards of ourselves." <Source: SkySports>

4llerbuntu: Seriously, u folks know nada.


if this was how people that know football reason, No top coach in football today would be at the top.


When somebody appointed fergie, he was coaching Aberdeen. try to be revisionist and claim aberdeen was a world class team then..


when somebody dumb appointed wenger, he was coaching nagoya grampus in japan, JAPAN!!


its a good thing you are all calling for Jose now, when Jose was appointed to the BIGGEST JOB IN PORTUGAL, what record did he have?


When AVB was appointed, what "world class" credentials did he have?

When Pep Guardiola whom that knucklehead dayo is now bigging up was appointed to coach Barca, WHAT RECORD DI HE HAVE, WHO WAS HE as A COACH?



do u have any idea how many "world class" coaches were available then when this appointments were made? clearly some people somewhere know their job and dont just spew rubbish on NL



for sure i know the people who run united know their football, and know their coaching.

That he is not glamorous or fit for the job is a foolish conclusion. all it takes these days to be "world class" is to win 2 trophies with a big club, even if u dont know jack.


wait for him to eff up, before u conclude. and even that sef is with time. this same irreplaceable fergie didnt win jack for years
Nice one.

I am convinced if he had the budget to retain players, he would have won trophies. He had Rooney, Cahil, Lescot, Arteta, imagine if this guys remained with him what he would have done.

This man helped Everton to finish 4th in 2004/2005 season, and it was his arrival that put a stop to Everton intermittent bottom struggle. Honestly, I have no problems with this man, I believe he will perform. I already like his high tempo football. Everton is not a pushover to any big team in the EPL. He surely made a difference to the Everton team from my study so far.

Everton has a fast paced and a high tempo style of play. This season they beat City two nil with ten men and came from behind in many games. They boss the midfield which is something positive to be introduced to United. They hardly give up till the last whistle.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:06pm On May 09, 2013
Everton statement:
"Everton can confirm that David Moyes will leave the club at the end of the season. The manager met chairman Bill Kenwright early yesterday evening and confirmed his desire to join Manchester United.

"The chairman, on behalf of the club, would like to place on record his thanks to David for the massive contribution he has made to Everton since his arrival in March 2002. He has been an outstanding manager.

"During his tenure at Goodison Park, David has taken charge of the team on over 500 occasions including four European campaigns. Everton officials will start the search for a replacement manager immediately."

.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2321466/Wayne-Rooney-asks-leave-Manchester-United-Cristiano-Ronaldo-nears-return-Alex-Ferguson-retires.html?ito=feeds-newsxml ........

Rooney is said to have now removed Manchester United from his twitter. I don't follow him on twitter so I can't confirm that. But his facebook account remains same.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
SailorXY: for me, rooney can go to blazes! hernandez must not be allowed to leave no matter what, he will be the biggest loss of all our forwards alongside nani
Rooney should be the first we should hope he stays. If not for Rooney there is no way United could have won in Ethihad. In the UCL group stage he provided some clever tele assists to RVP. Chicha, Welbeck, Kagawa can only shine locally. Roone only needs to play regularly, get his happiness on tract at Old Trafford and he can help us get past big teams locally and in Europe in Europe. Let us not forget so soon what this guy is capable of. I still believe Kagawa was not necessary as long as Rooney is around. Though Kagawa is an Asian interest.

Unfortunately now, Rooney has requested to leave. Chelsea, PSG and Bayern are lined up. But United not ready to let go easily. He was given a four year contract extension since but he is yet to sign. Rooney has the ability to hold the ball under pressure for long while allowing our players to run into positions, then he makes intelligent passes and switches play from one angle to the other. He is also good at counter attack. Chicharito cannot do this but he scores in domestic games, Welbeck can also hold possession but not to the level Rooney does and switches play, not to talk of the fact that Welbeck doesn't score and lacking in final ball.s. RVP too is not so comfortable holding possession for long, so if RVP and Chicharito are to play who will give them passes? Kagawa is yet to prove himself in fast paced games and big games.

Rooney departure will further greatly leave a big vacuum in our midfield. Kagawa can never fill the shoes. It will make Giggs to add another year or two.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on MUTV: "14 and half years were the best of my career. I have learnt from the best. I will never forget the loyalty he showed me. Everything I have learnt I have learnt from the boss"

Jesper Blomqvist on MUTV: "You were always confident he would make the difference in big games."

Radamel Falcao @FALCAO: "Stand up, put your hands together and give him a big round of applause! Sir Alex Ferguson is retiring. Congrats for an amazing career!"

Peter Schmeichel @Pschmeichel1: "Disappointed, shocked, sad.
Didn't think THAT day would be today."

Sir Bobby Charlton on SkySports: ""He is such a fantastic manager. Everything he has done has been fantastic, He would get up in the middle of the night and travel 300 miles if he thought there was a school boy that he could sign. He loves the game and we at the club have had nothing to do really. He has made his decision on various grounds, because of his family and because of the hip operation he will have this summer."
Fashion › Re: Help Me Re- Invent My Style by elampiro(m): 3:24pm On May 08, 2013
This is really funny. It sounded more like a joke while reading, but the guy is serious.

Like you saying, I have made money after suffering years, now I want to come out of my cave. But don't do it too much, because you can never spend enough in fashion and cars.

The people you keep around you could be what will influence your taste. Don't buy too much of anything at a time, fashion changes now and then. You can start by getting a good person to supply your jeans, another to supply shirts and suits. You can aslo get a good place to get shoes. You start little, then everytime you look up, you see what you like or what your fiancee likes.

Goodluck.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
coogar: shoe-string budget in a low pressure job.
any of us here would deliver. there's no expectation at all with a club like everton so whatever they do would be applauded. at united, he must win one league title every other season, qualify us from the group in the champions league and be competitive in other domestic competitions.

how would moyes handle the media? with his smeagol looks? moyes is akin to charlie adam - he's a big fish in a small pond. throw him in a river and he would get eaten alive by sharks. i would rather we get benitez, laudrup, pellegrini or even maradona.


https://www.bfcblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/david-moyes-to-gollum.gif
Even Maradona ahead of Moyes in club football? hmmm, hmmmm, Coogar look at this issue again!

This your caricature pic of Moyes. Hope it is not our future coach you have ridiculed grin
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 2:17pm On May 08, 2013
coogar: you are not looking at this with a telescope.
the glazers are business men. we have got a huge debt to pay too which makes it highly imperative to bring in someone that can at least continue the trophy haul.

announcing moyes as the manager would send the share price tumbling down immediately - who is moyes in the grand scheme of things? titles are more important for the survival of the club now than youth policy(at least till the debt is paid)!!!!
Moyes is sure to win local trophies. His style of play is a force to reckon with in the domestic league. But I don't know how long it will take him to be a force in Europe, he may also find the FA and Cap1 cups a big task at the early stage.

Sir Alex ferguson isn't just a great manager he wasn't a bad player either. He scored 170 goals in 317 appearances for Queens Park, St. Johnstone, Dunfermline, Rangers, Falkirk and Ayr United from 1957 to 1974.

Sir Alex's last game for Manchester United against West Brom will be his 1500th game as manager of United. LEGEND!
