Oh dear - giggle, giggle...

Have to admit to some schadenfreude over the recent events at Manchester United. But the more you look at it, the less sense it makes - to sack your manager when there's enough time left to turn things round is one thing, but to sack him when your league position (or more to the point, non-position) has already been settled is strange to say the least.  Moyes it seemed to me was making progress and getting the team to play the way he wanted them to - this may not have been the way the fans, or even some of the players, wanted them to play, but at least he seemed to have had a plan, and was getting there.  So now what?  With no European football, it is going to be more difficult to attract a top manager, or top players.  It will be good for the Premiership if they fall out of contention for a season or two, but can't help feeling that in the long run they may have shot themselves in the foot.
