do the LMA actually do anything apart from spout the same shit for every manager that gets sacked.

The League Managers' Association has issued a statement describing the manner of David Moyes' departure from Manchester United as 'unprofessional'.

Moyes was officially sacked on Tuesday morning but his imminent demise was being widely reported 24 hours earlier, to the consternation of LMA chief executive Richard Bevan.

He said: "The LMA is very disappointed with the nature of David's departure from Manchester United and to read extensive reports in the press, confirming David's sacking, before David himself had been spoken to officially by the club.

"Throughout his time at United, David, as he always does, has conducted himself with integrity and professionalism, values that he believes in and that have been strongly associated with the club and its rich tradition.

"It is therefore sad to see the end of David's tenure at United being handled in an unprofessional manner."

The club have denied the LMA's accusation and insisted no decision had been taken when reports of Moyes sacking first emerged on Monday.

A United spokesman said: "We do not accept that it was handled in an unprofessional manner.

"The decision was not taken until late Monday night and was communicated face-to-face first thing on Tuesday morning.

"When reports started emerging on internet news sites on Monday afternoon, no decision had been taken at that time."


Its a like a template with <insert manager name here> on it

He did okay for us and shouldn't be looked back on so negatively.
First season wasn't easy. He takes over a club, then finds out we have no money, then finds out we're suddenly the richest club in the world and everyone is demanding top four and immediate success.
He's a good manager for a mid to upper table team which we were at the time. Nothing more or less


He should never have been at City.

Give him time at Stoke, they'll be back down the league.

Disagree. We finished the previous season in free fall relegation form. At the time we were a mid table club looking to push on towards the Europa League places.
Hughes had done very well at Blackburn on a very limited budget and prior to that he did a great job with Wales. He was strongly linked with the Chelsea job at the time also.
He was a bright, up and coming manager with a successful past.
Who else should we have appointed instead? There was nothing wrong with choosing him.
It was not a bad appointment at the time. It was only the fact that we were taken over and expectations rose dramatically within minutes almost.
Why our own fans try and paint such a bad image on his time with the club is a mystery.

Which 'top clubs' has he brought down then as you say?

Lot of sense here. As i also recall we were shite in second half and managers were hardly queuing round the block. He was about the best available and I remember thinking at the time it was a good appointment

At the time it was a good appointment mate. The second half of Sven's season we were playing like a relegation threatened team. The last quarter we played like a Championship team. We were in free fall.
Hughes had done brilliant in his two previous jobs and got both Wales and Blackburn to over-perform. Blackburn in particular he kept them in and around the top six, playing decent football on a shoe-string budget.

Hughes wasn't good enough ultimately but he was nowhere near as bad as he is made out and ANY manager would have struggled in his first season given the changes going on in and around the club. We were a mid table team before he came, who realistically should we have appointed before all the money came in?
Overall he did more good than bad and should be remembered as such.

It has taken the past couple of days for this news to sink in. Didn't want to believe it at first, choose not.to listen to news or buy a paper in the hope that maybe this wasnt true. Am deeply sickened and struggling to cope with the news. He was doing just fine in fact he was doing fantastic to lose him now makes no sense.

To think some of you are even starting to discuss who may take over from him is disgraceful to his legacy. Hang your fookin heads. Poor David.
