I think Moyes will do very well and to give him the time is as important as the Glaziers giving him the backing, financially.
Important to remember that Moyes is an example to other managers that you can create a good team and stay in the top flight without having a ludicrous budget. I'm one of those who feels that perhaps his full potential has not been realised and I reckon that's why United have gone for him, namely because they feel the same way about a manager who never had anywhere near the same resources at his disposal as other Premiership managers had...and yes I include Mark Hughes at QPR, but there are other more notable examples.

I do agree but on the flip side of that i give you Woy Hodgson did brilliant at Fulham and West Brom both on shoe string budgets went to Skiverpool and had cash to burn and look what happened. Moyes deserves a chance no doubt. Will just have to wait and see guess it now looks like Mourhinio to Chelsea then.

No - a gamble is an 8 year contract for Pardew
Very good shout sir i feel alot better now
Hodgson actually had a bit of money at Fulham - that's what kept them up.
At Liverpool, he didn't really - they saved all their money for Dalgleish to piss away.
I don't see why Moyes shouldn't be perfect for Man U.
They've always relied mainly on their youth system (as have Everton) and made the occasional big, but bargain signing (like Cantona / Van Persie) as have Everton with Cahill, Jakielka, Phil Neville etc)

Hodgson did have money at Liverpool but he wasted it on sh*t players.
A bit unfair, he arrived at a mess and hardly got started. He only bought 7 players, and made a profit of over £2m on his Liverpool transfer activity. You could argue 3 or 4 incoming players were duds but he offloaded even more duds!
Dalglish made a transfer loss of £40m+ as has Rodgers (so far) including £15m peed away on Joe Allen, Liverpool appear to have achieved a nett spending loss of £80m+ since Hodgson left to finish no further up the league.
Rodgers is very funny (a joke) :- http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/live...ntly-cringeworthy-brendan-rodgers-quotes.html

He had a certain style did Fergie
He hardly got started because his woeful long ball tactics were never going to be tolerated by Liverpool fans. The owl belongs in another era, I will keep laughing as long as he is England manager because as long as he is, England will have as much chance as we (Wales) have of winning any football tournaments.
Catmuck!
Promise to challenge for the title and you could put Dave Basset in charge with a coaching staff of John Beck, Tony Pulis & Big Sam and the Liverpool fans would pop their corks in excited anticipation, they are no different to any other fans.
Really? I know of no other Liverpool Manager who didn't have the backing of the Kop at the beginning of their reign. The appointment of the owl at Liverpool was akin to the appointment of Benitez at Chelsea amongst the fans. The difference being that the crowd still sang to support the team and not against the manager.Catmuck!
