No bro, there were many who were against Moyes appointment. They wanted Mourinho. Ferguson made a plea to the fans to support the next manager, the chosen one and it turned out to be a colossal mistake. I'll always remember Moyes as the man who broke the club and I've posted my comments many moons ago. Well, he had the temerity to lay the problem on his predecessor and claimed that the team he inherited were too old. SAF has since refuted those claims and the rest is history.
Could he have succeeded if given time? Perhaps but at the time of his appointment, United had problems attracting top talent and even if we did get one, it will be way in excess of the market premium. It's much like the problem with Pool and Brendan Rogers.IMHO, the misstep United made or didn't make in this case, was to restructure the club post Ferguson with the appointment of a football director. That would have ease and taken the pressure off Moyes to a degree. It was simply a case of too big to succeed.
As far as the analysts and media is concerned, they'll always have something to write whether he succeeds or fail. Let us not forget that Moyes is one of the few British managers left in the game and they're a dying breed.
