Should United have persevered with Moyes

Manchester United is a club associated with dignity and class, but those values look to be consigned to the history books with an appalling and short-sighted decision to sack David Moyes as manager.

That Moyes looks to have been handed his P45 after just a season in charge is a disgrace and the decision is not only the wrong one, but may come back to haunt United in the future.

Whoever followed Alex Ferguson into the Old Trafford hot seat faced the biggest managerial challenge of their career, and it was one which Moyes would have risen to had he been given time. Time, unfortunately, has become an exceptionally precious commodity in modern football and the game has ultimately become worse for it.
