    I'm totally happy with Moyes - people forget how we nearly got rid of Sir Alex. Keep saying it, first season a period of settling in.

    I heard a couple of points on Talk..... this am

    a) Different era then when instant success was not a requirement
    b) Ferguson was a proven manager having broken the 'Gers/Celtic domination and won the ECWC with Aberdeen

    Moyesy survived 11 years at Everton not winning a thing - if he is Man Utd calibre why didn't other big clubs snap him up ?

    Well that's true but he did turn Everton into a decent team,and I think he would have won stuff eventually.
    The way I look at it is this,we have been in decline for a while.
    Teams cannot dominate for ever,We have had 20 years and have become the most successful English team of all time.
    That has finished now and like the great Liverpool team of the 70s/80s we have to start again.
    So for a first season I can live with a trophy-less year or even a bit more as i have witnessed my team dominate English football for years and years.
    Many of you on here will never see your team dominate like United did.
    I said to a fella the other day,if we never won another trophy in my lifetime,i still have been lucky to have had so many highs.

    5 men sitting in a bar: Mr. Wenger, Mr.
    Mourinho, Mr. Rodgers, Mr.
    Moyes and Mr. Martinez..... The first round of
    beers was on
    Mourinho, he bought a portugese beer to
    each of the others. The
    second round was on Martinez, he bought
    everybody a San Miguel.
    The third round was on Wenger, he bought
    everybody a glass of red
    wine. The fourth round was on Rodgers, he
    bought a pint to the guys,
    except for Moyes. Then Mr. Moyes said; Hey
    guys what about my
    pint...??? Rodgers looked at him and said;
    Sorry David, this is the
    fourth round, and you are NOT in it.

    What is wrong with the officials lately, they have made some terrible decisions, most getting he offside wrong. Offside could easily be managed by technology, so going by the goal line technology we can expect its implementation in 3026

    Great NON goal by Newcastle yesterday. At the Liverpool game they missed a clear handball, and then gave a penalty that wasn't.

    £250m wiped off value of United in a month



    The value of Manchester United has dropped by a staggering quarter of a billion pounds in the last four weeks.

    Despite registering their first win of the year on Saturday, United lost three games on the bounce prior to that - for the first time since 1992 - and it appears to have been having a knock-on effect on its New York Stock Exchange share price.

    The club lies in seventh position, ten points behind table toppers Manchester City and five adrift from the Champions League places.

    The Glazer family took control of United in 2005 and the club floated on the NYSE last year.

    At the close of trading last night, its shares were $15.16 each. The highest they have been since floating has been $19.34, on February 8 last year.

    James Igoe, a Private Client Director at XCap, told the M.E.N that United face an uphill battle to finish in the top four and also then retain its massive fan base in China and the Far East.

    He said: "The club peaked in May when they won the league and was worth $3.1bn, the most the club has ever been valued at.

    "Now though, it is worth $2.5bn, down 12 per cent in the last four weeks and 20 per cent on May last year.

    "I have always been quite negative on the prospects for the club floating. Because they are going to have to have as much success in the next four to five years as they had in the past, say, ten years.

    "I can't see how they are going to extrapolate that sort of growth. United have driven a lot of growth in China and the Far East and had a lot of success. I think the fan base is running the risk of being diluted by Liverpool and Manchester City."

    He added: "At the moment it has become more difficult to have that faith in the share price when you are buying into the company."

    Mr Igoe also drew parallels with Tesco's current situation.

    He said: "For a long time Tesco was an extremely successful stock and they were able to exhibit that because all the share price did was go up. But then that came to an end.

    "And last Christmas Tesco came out with a profit warning which had never done before."

    He added: "If United are in threat of not getting into the Champions League that will cause serious problems. Often big advertisers who come on board will have pre-conditions and will only sign up if they are going to get into the Champions League."

    Simon Reeks, Head of Private Client Investment Management at Midas Investment Management Ltd, said: "Man Utd is trading on a premium rating of 12.3x forecast Ebitda. At that lofty premium there leaves no room for error as the correlation between winning matches and the share price strengthens. Our view, is that Man Utd is a global brand that will go from strength to strength and if the shares were too dip materially further they should be bought."
