Moyes. Man U and 2013/4
Like Moyes but if he gets the job he has hell ava task and I have the feeling he is a bit of an unlucky manager to boot.
Add to this that United are a team in general on the way down and were helped immensely by Van Persie's goals, will he have two fit seasons on the trot ? Also will other teams and United continue to beleive in their invincibilty now Fergie gone.
We all missed out on the 25-1 for Moyes to take over , dont miss out on this if you can find a price.
MAN UNITED TO FINISH OUT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUALIFYING PLACES IN 2013/4 PREMIERSHIP.
Get on and remeber you heard it here first.

REMEMBER FEW MONTHS BACK,THERE WERE STORIES ABOUT HIM LEAVING EVERTON AT THE END OF THIS SEASON.
THEY SAID ON THE FOCUS SPECIAL LAST NIGHT IT WOULD BE ANNOUNCED TODAY.
PLEASE STOP MENTIONING THAT P**T MOURINHO- ARROGANT G*T HIS EGO'S TOO BIG FOR THIS JOB.
ALSO HOPE THEY DON'T BRING BACK THE DIVER RONALDO.
Let me know when you find some odds available!
Moyes is a done deal.
Players - De Gea still dodgy, Rafael-dodgy, Evra coming to end of career, Ferdinand crocked , Evans, Smalling not good enough if pressure on them , give you Vidic is good.
Scholes and Giggs on way out, Carrick and Jones good but cleverley, Kagawa bit ligtweight. Rooney in a sulk, will Van Persie avoid injuries. The other thing you have got to ask yourself is how many of the Man U players will teams come for , only the outstanding ones I suggest. In other words the other clubs would have lots of clubs knocking on the door for a lot of their players.
I might be way off mark but I just have this feeling that United will struggle 2013/4 and I will take your 500-1.
£2 on please , thank you

Not in the first two is a certainty, they might finish 3rd or 4th but not top two.
You are letting your heart rule your head.
You are totally underestimating how good a manager Fergie was and the aura of invincibilty he built up at Old Trafford. Also history , remember what happened after Sir Matt and he left a brilliant squad behind him.
Moyes wont get the job done in a year , Fergie could see he was too reliant on Van Persie and he needed to rebuild again, he couldnt face it. Hoping Moyes gets them back in Title mode in 2 or 3 years as I like him but it will be long haul.
One thing mate, it will certainly make for an interesting season.
Now where is that wac ky baccy
Man utd will be top 2 again next year, and will be team to beat again, be very intressting who Moyes brings in this summer tho.
I think chelsea will struggle next year as had very hard season this year and still no manager taking over for certain as yet. Also with torres (rubbish) and doubts about Lampard staying (maybe joing man utd) thats a different topic lol.
so both Mancester clubs top 2 for deffo.
Quite simply one of the best, most accurate posts ever writtten on the Sky Poker community.
I like Moyes as well, but May 8th was the long awaited start of Man Utd's decline!
I'll look forward to your holla and you can tell me how wrong I was , but unfortunately unless you reverse your top two comment you will be lost to us and I wouldnt want that.
God Bless you my son and hope you dont have to give up betting and poker come May 2014

My reading is
Chelsea 1st
Man City 2nd
Liverpool 3rd
Arsenal 4th
Spurs/Man U 5th, alll depends on whether Bale stays at Spurs and they get a striker.
I am truly worried for Moyes as he will be under pressure from day one and it will take longer to get a team at United than everybody thinks. Everton have struggled some seasons in the early games, woe betide if it happens to Man U in august /sept 2013. Also just remember how long it took Ferguson to win over the fans and he had won three Championships and a Euro Cup Winners Cup at Aberdeen . Sorry, but for all the good work Moyes has done he has won 1 Division 2 title.
Whatever anybody thinks it will be a very very hard job to go in their and maintain what Fergie has done and also get immediate success with the current team.
I used to be a regular at Preston when he was manager, they gained promotion from the 2nd - Championship and made significant progress in both cup competitions. But at the end of the day no major silverware!
He's done the same at Everton plenty of good results, but no silverware!
He's a bit like Dandy Nichols / Ian Williams / MD Murphy getting the best from horses beyond their prime!
Man United are a totally different kettle of fish, They want new young talent, not recycled talent!
United are loyal and look after their staff so I'll give him eighteen months before he's on the scrapheap and Ferguson comes out of retirement!
If fergusson was worried about moyes. he would not of signed him to take over (we all know this was not a man utd choice but fergussons last wish/signing)
You dont moan about the players he has signed so why worry now, give Moyes a chance he WILL prove you wrong, mybe not europe next year but league I THINK SO, and might get a better price now for them to win league too.
Theres my rant over lol
p.s please check the PLO8 thread, NEW WEEKLY LEAGUE with prizes, and TIKAY will be playing IF FIT.
They're streets ahead of the others.
Prem needs Mourinho back, hopefully he returns and Chelsea challenge next season.
Worst United can do is 3rd.
How many times over the last two years have everybody been saying how can Man Utd finish so high up they are not playing well !!!, they haven't got the players, they rely too much on Van Persie etc etc
Well the reason has been Fergie and his will too win and the players wanting to do it for him, they are his players. If they give him time I think Moyes will be successful however with the current squad it wont be immediate.
I have no axe to grind over Man U , in fact they were my team in days of Law, Charlton and Best, I am just trying to be objective and think what happened after Busby left could happen all over again. Remember they were relegated within 6 years of that!!!
