According to reports David Moyes is set to be fired as the manager of Manchester United citing yesterday’s 2-0 loss to Everton as the last straw.
Pro Soccer Talk has the full story:
The report is predicated on two conditions. First, it requires Moyes to seek assurances, something that the 50-year-old Scot may not feel the need to do given the support the Glazer family has afforded him during his first 11 months in charge. Second, assuming Moyes does seek assurances, the article claims Woodward is merely “unlikely” to offer them, affording some wiggle room for his stay.
The report was released by the Telegraph’sMark Ogden, who has the title of “Northern Football Correspondent” meaning he is the top man for covering news out of places like Old Trafford. Through connections with the Glazer family and Sir Alex Ferguson, Ogden says the recent string of poor results combined with the apparent breakdown in relations with Ryan Giggs, Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic andDanny Welbeck are all contributing factors to United’s decision. The article also lists other failings brought up throughout the year, including Moyes’ discomfort with a difficult early season schedule and his disastrous decision to spend over $46 million (£27.5m) to purchase Marouane Fellaini.
Odgen claims that if Moyes is fired, Giggs will serve as an interim manager before a more suitable manager is selected.
