'I am sorry for David Moyes. In general this is the life of a coach,' Ancelotti said. 'Sometimes things don't come out well and they get rid of you and that's it.

 

'I was a bit surprised because Manchester United are not normally like this. It might be normal in another club but at United after 26 years I was surprised.'

 

 

Carlo Ancelotti, basically when did Man Utd become Chelsea?!

LOL biggest myth in the world that about United not sacking coaches

They got rid of like 5-6 guys in 10 years before Fergie. LOL just because they gave fergie a chance they had some "manchester united don't sack managers" mantra hanging over them

Moyes had to go and they will get rid of the next guy just as quick if they are languishing at the bottom of the table like they are currently

Manchester United have already made the first steps towards bringing Louis van Gaal in to replace sacked manager David Moyes, Old Trafford sources have told ESPN FC.

Having confirmed that Ryan Giggs will take temporary charge on Tuesday morning, United are prepared to keep an open mind about their next permanent boss and will investigate other high-profile options.
But the Dutchman's availability and evident willingness, which was reported by the Sun on Tuesday, have ensured United moved to make contact.
Van Gaal, who leaves his post as Netherlands manager after the World Cup this summer, is seen as the likeliest successor, potentially as a medium-term option until United can appoint one of the other alternatives they are still considering at this point.
The 62-year-old had been expected to join Tottenham as recently as February, and ex-Netherlands star Ruud Gullit later told the BBC he thought it was a "done deal," but White Hart Lane sources say Van Gaal has become extremely cool on that prospect over the last two months and his position has completely changed. It is thought that Van Gaal had been informed the United post could become open to him.
That, however, will not stop last season's Premier League champions pursuing other avenues and seeing what progress could be made with potential candidates such as Juergen Klopp. Chief executive Ed Woodward is known to be a huge fan of the German, but Borussia Dortmund have told ESPN FC he will not leave and the manager himself also ruled out an exit. United may still test the waters to see how firm those sentiments are.
Whatever happens, the process will be very different from the appointment of Moyes, with Sir Alex Ferguson's role greatly reduced after this season's debacle. United's owners, the Glazer family, will assume an increased and more direct influence in a more business-like process, following on from the active interest they took in managerial performance since United's FA Cup defeat to Swansea in January.
That was the first time the club's hierarchy began to contemplate sacking Moyes, with the Glazers previously much more detached as a consequence of the idea the former Everton manager would be a long-term appointment.
According to ESPN FC sources, by Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park, almost everyone of significance at the club had turned against Moyes - the playing staff, many directors and a number of sponsors. The Glazers also wanted to ensure that the inevitable sacking happened long before the World Cup, in order to allow proper time to plan.
Meanwhile, sources state Moyes is only ever likely to get compensation amounting to one or two years' worth of the six-year contract he signed last summer. One point of negotiation as regards that deal was the failure to qualify for the Champions League, or to reach any other acceptable target.

You know what, this is going to be fun, we really gonna find out how well ran Manchester United really is.

 

Fergie taking the L on Moyes...

 

But this next appointment and what they do this summer is going to be the first time we really get to see what The Glazers are like as owners.

Its how you work shortlists though

 

You make a list in terms of ability/how much you want them

 

Then you eliminate them until you get to the first one who ticks all the boxes.

 

So starting with Guardiola is obvious as he's currently the best. Obviously, not available so you strikethrough

Last year Fergie identified his #1 target, went straight to him and indirectly told him the job was is.

At least this time around we have a strong available target like Van Gaal but we're looking at all the other options(even the unrealistic ones) before making a decision.

This notion of number 1 target is a hopeful one, from what the club has said there was only 1 target.

“[Moyes] phoned me around February for some advice about his contract, they were pushing him to sign a new contract," Sir Alex says. "I said to him, 'do not sign a new contract'.

“I knew in myself I was going to retire, so I'm thinking If he signed a contract it would be more difficult for us.

“I said to him you've had ten years there that's long enough, you'll get a bigger club.

That's indirect

Moyes at that time didn't know he was going to retire so probably thought he was talking about Spurs or somewhere in Europe.

Yh that is.

Thought you were talking about Fergie interrupting Moyes' shopping trip to invite him round.
