Moyes Disappointed With Fergusons Axe

There have been rumours flying in the British press that Sir Alex Ferguson who himself had chosen David Moyes as the man to succeed him at Old Trafford was responsible for his axe, but, that doesn’t appear to be the truth.

If the sources are to be believed, Sir Alex has even contacted Moyes and has made clear that it was entirely the board’s decision and he had nothing to do with it.

Most of the pundits and former players believe that Moyes deserved at least one more season at Old Trafford to prove his worth, but, the Glazers had other ideas. They thought that the Scot lost too many games to their likings and thus, they decided to get rid of him.

However, it’s not the axe which left Moyes disgusted. It’s actually the manner in which he was handed the axe. Before he was told or had any sort of idea about that, the news went into the media which made the situation embarrassing for him and he said that in his last press conference as the Red Devils boss. According to him, the club could have handled the situation in a far better way.

Apart from the pundits and the former players, Moyes is getting sympathy from some current Manchester United players as well. Wayne Rooney, Adnan Januzaj and some of the other guys are not happy with the way the boss got treated towards the end of his tenure.

The Red Devils have never been known for being impatient with the managers. Even Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t have that much success when he had started as manager at Old Trafford, but, he was stuck with by the board and he delivered eventually. People were expecting the same to happen with Moyes too, but, it wasn’t to be.
