Those solicitors in Spain FFS. Dark, dark days.

It was an episode of farce on Bondi Beach, days into David Moyes’s reign as Manchester United manager, when it became evident that the Scot had misjudged the magnitude of the job he had walked into.

Having left behind the frenzy of Bangkok on the first-leg of United’s summer tour, Moyes had decided to take his squad on an impromptu trip to Bondi – a stroll around the beach to stretch the players’ legs after training.

On a similar summer trip to Sydney with Everton, Moyes had taken players on the same bonding session and it passed without incident.

But this was United, and while an Everton squad containing Australia international Tim Cahill went unnoticed in their club tracksuits among the surfers and sandcastles, Moyes’s new team were mobbed and besieged by supporters to the extent that the manager had to hide his players in the rooftop bar of a nightclub until security arrived to restore order.

It was akin to a supply teacher taking a group of unruly sixth formers on a day out, with the leader’s authority undermined from the outset.

United’s security staff and local police usually work in tandem when such trips are planned, but Moyes was unaware of this and a tour which had already made him uncomfortable due to the demands of sponsors and supporters alike had just delivered a stark example of the monster he now managed.

Moyes failed to heed the lesson of Bondi, however, and as his disastrous reign progressed, he somehow walked into every pitfall that lay in his path.

Initially, Moyes was too reverential, too awestruck by his new surroundings, allowing himself to be caught on a microphone saying “wow” as a five-minute montage of United’s glorious history was played to an audience at a £250-a-head dinner at Sydney’s Westin Hotel.

Moyes also hinted at inner doubts about his suitability for the job, even claiming to being fearful of what he had taken on.

“I tell you, there’s not one person who would turn around and say: ‘Taking over Manchester United, you think you can walk in there and breeze in and think you can do it easily?’ Moyes said in Sydney. “Of course not. There has to be an element of fear that comes with managing a club like Manchester United.

“You would have doubt if anybody took over this job, but in my own way, I‘ve got to say I feel it’s the right job for me at the right time and hopefully I’ll make it work.”

Brought me and marlo back together

For me LVG tried and failed. Moyes was just a loser to begin with. Atleast LVG tried to big the team up , you could see it in his press conferences. Moyes looked like gill from the simpsons in his. Just nerves and looking lost.

Was never the right man.

Look at the attitude José is attempting to instill: win every game, win everything.

But hey, he might say some mean things about other managers. Can't have that, can we?

Should have been sacked there & then.
Surely that constitutes a sackable offence?
In fact should be a written clause in managers contracts, 'If the team gets pumped by a lower league team by more than 2 goals you'll get the chop'.

You're so clueless it's painful. An absolute bottom-red, nu-age football cringebag. From Essex.

Van Gaal won United's first trophy in the post-Fergie era, and left the first-team squad with a nucleus of brilliant young players who have the potential to be as good as the Class of '92.

Wouldn't expect any of that to be high on your radar though, when American pop music celebrations, number of black players in the first XI, and hashtag trends seem to be your measures of success.
