Out with the old boss, in with?

Well, i can't pretend i'm not glad that Moyes has been given the bullet, happy would be the wrong word, relieved is probably the best description of where I'm at on this. Even when the club have done the right thing, they've done it in such a cack handedly classless manner, it's hard not to feel sympathy for Moyes, even though we know he patently wasn't up to the job.
As I said in my last piece, it shouldn't just be Moyes getting his marching orders ahead of the end of the season. The post Fergie/Gill era has well and truly arrived, it's a Glazer franchise now alright. The way it was leaked yesterday afternoon, then not confirmed or denied by the club was totally wrong on a human level, farcical and shows that United under the gimps, truly are just, ANother club.
I see that some of todays pieces in the press have confirmed some of the rumoured stories that have been run by all three fanzines at different stages of the season. It's funny how the media all seemed to have discovered he wasn't the right man for the job, now that he's gone. With one or two notable exceptions, most of them have been sitting on the fence, even as the season went from bad to worse over the last couple of months. Anyway it's over, it's been like a bad dream, I didn't have big expectations for this season, but never in my wildest dream did I see things getting to as bad as they did over the second half of the season.
With the comings and goings planned for this summer, it would have been madness to have persisted with Moyes, if he can't keep our current crop of players happy, how on Earth were the club hoping to persuade the calibre of player we are going need to bring in during the summer, if he had remained in charge.
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out now Giggs in charge. Will Rooney still be Mr. Undroppable, will Van Persie's injury problem miraculously clear, will Januzaj get a couple of starts and finally, will we see something approaching the real Manchester United at Old trafford this season during the remaining three home games. You know attacking football, creating plenty of chances and maybe scoring a goal or two. For the first time in ages, I'm actually looking forward to Saturday's game at home to Norwich, now they're free of the Moyes shackles, let's hope the players respond in the right way.
