I've been assuring anyone who cared to listen for quite a few months that there was no way on this planet that Man U would dispense with the services of one David Moyes until at least he'd had a couple of seasons in charge. My logic was simple. The club had learnt from experience. Managers needed time to manage. A revolving door policy will end in disaster, as seen at the likes of Spurs, to name but one.
How did I go so wrong? The commentators tell us that it isn't the 1980s anymore and it's impossible to give someone in charge the six seasons allowed to SAF to get it absolutely right. The bottom line is the share price, it seems, and American owners don't have the time to let something grow. And suddenly a guy who just a season ago knew an awful lot about getting it right, and managed to do so on a shoe-string at the highest level for many years, now simply doesn't know how to win things, in the eyes of guys who've never won a trophy in their lives, and never will.
O tempora, o mores, oh Moyes!
