of leading such a high profile club. Moyes as a manager never tasted success on a large scale. True, he transformed his former club Everton into a potential title winner but the fact is that Everton is thriving more than ever since a new manager took over from Moyes.

United is out of every cup contention this season and they are now heading into their worst finish since 1990.

Ryan Giggs, a veteran player for the club has been appointed the interim manager till a new one is appointed. Giggs who has played around 600 games for United needs to start putting the pieces right away. The firing of David Moyes is a new chapter in the books of the club that has long preached continuity and stability.
What Moyes did was he made the impossible task of leading United all the more impossible. At the end of the day one thing is crystal clear - United needs a complete revolution. Right away.
However, the collapse of this great club wasn’t exactly Moyes’ fault. Not all of it anyway. Moyes was left to man a team which has been run the same way for 27 years under Ferguson. It’s a team filled with talent, but also egos. None bigger than that of Wayne Rooney. Rooney left Everton as a teenager under prickly circumstances. When Moyes was hired by United, Rooney made it clear that he wanted to leave the club. However Moyes signed Rooney to a long term deal but the striker hasn’t been in tremendous form all season. What Moyes did was he made the impossible task of leading United all the more impossible. At the end of the day one thing is crystal clear - United needs a complete revolution. Right away. SM
