What was conditional? The compensation?
Diego Simeone - Name your price
Obviously I don't know the full details but the suggestion has been that whilst he signed what was called a 5 year contract, it is in effect a 1 year contract with each subsequent year being conditional of qualification for the CL. That would provide them with them get out clause and Moyes is hardly likely to turn down the opportunity. Not dissimilar to the alleged 8 yr contract signed by Pardew which then turned out to only have a a one year compensation clause!!!
Not surprising if true bearing in mind Moyes was handicapped by a delayed start to his career just so utd didn't have to pay Everton compensation. Had he started when last season ended he would have had a further 6/7 weeks in the transfer market (and more importantly, would have entered the market at the same time as everyone else!!). Of course, that still might not have changed the outcome!!!
This does not make sense though. If you have a 6 year deal with a one year salary termination clause the CL condition is superflous.
My view is that he made his biggest mistake in the first weeks of his tenure by getting rid of the long serving, talented backroom staff and replacing them with his own.
I know this is not unusual for a lot of jobs, by the MU job wasn't ever going to be a usual job. Taking over from Ferguson wasn't going to be like taking over from any other manager. He should have retained the experience of Phelan and Muelensteen especially who would have smoothed the transition to what Moyes wanted to achieve. Moyes should have been patient in the transformation to his vision rather than expecting a squad to just buy into what he was doing immediately.
In a way, he's done what I think we as a club are protecting against, and that is that you don't just start over each time a new manager is appointed. You appoint a manager to fit your squad, coaching and club ethos, not appoint a manager to come in and revolutionise everything each time.

Can definitely see Moyes in the running for the Spurs job now.
I actually like him as a manager, and I think wherever he goes next he will vindicate himself. I think anyone would have had a tough time going into OT after Fergie.
Not sure who would want to touch Moyes for a while given the fall out as regards inability to motivate and losing dressing rooms. Can't see how any chairman could sell Moyes to his clubs fans, his best bet is to try to redeem himself abroad.

It's just the way Moyes works, Some managers will come in and work with most of an original backroom staff but quite often they have a wholesale clear out and bring their entire backroom team in with them. Sam Allardyce is one such manager. Don't forget Gus is part of a "team " with Tanno and Charlie in a similar way even though I'm not sure what Charlie brings to the table.
Really? I would think he would walk into any Premiership team outside the top ten and certainly any Championship team. I certainly wouldn't mind him here if Oscar were to go. He consistently got a team with next to no money to spend (in premier league terms) in the top eight. He just couldn't handle Utd's egos but will be a better manager for the experience.
Don't you love these throwaway comments on Nsc? 90% of our coaching staff changed since last summer. Oscar brought 3 coaches with him including a gk coach, so Andy Beasly joined Poyet at Sunderland. Others left of their own accord, like Hinshelwood.
Matt Miller was reduced to water boy by the conditioning and fitness coach. He is now running his own business.
Maybe you should research Charlie's coaching qualifications, or is it still Charlie the clown who cannot know anything about football.
