Why not just make him redundant (offer him a tax free settlement as opposed to sacking) and employ the next 'boss' under a different job title ?

Legal point. Moyes sacked or made redundant.

Knowing the Glazers are only at United for the money which they can siphon off they'll have sacked him because the £5M compo is a tax write-off 
It must be very annoying for them with no European revenue stream going in to the Old Trafford coffers next season.

In English law, redundancy applies to a position, not a person. And the position of manager is not redundant, it is clear that the team needs one, whatever fancy label you applied to it. Hence it would be illegal for ManUre to commence redundancy proceedings.

I think the technical term is unchosen 
The tax-free element of redundancy is limited to the first £30k. If your pay-off is £4.5m, I doubt that saving £15k in tax is that high on your priority list.
The previous points about redundancy applying to the job, not the person are also correct.

I read recently they plan to accept a number of very lucrative friendly invitations in lieu of CL income. Financially I don't think being out of Europe will affect them too much.

He had a 6 year deal and he was on some 4m a year wasn't he? So he's due a shade over 20m by my reckoning.

Is that not why OG was hired as head coach (not manager) after Gus left and the legal case was being sorted.

£20M, not bad for 9 months work.
Incidentally if he gets a job say in August this year at another club would he be required to repay any amount?
I think it was coincidence - we had a Director of Football ( or whatever Burke is called ) and that lends itself to Head Coach more than having a manager.

Not sure but the 20m is likely to be a minimum, I imagine there may be some sort of golden handshake bonus for keeping his mouth shut about what's gone on while he's been there.

I don't know if there is, but i expect there may be a clause whereby he is only entitled to x years instead of the full term. I think Pardew has the same at Newcastle; he signed an 8 (?) year contract but in the event of him being sacked, he'd only receive the equivalent to 1 year.
I might be wrong, so someone feel free to clarify.

A lot of the pundits are saying that his contract was performance related both in terms of getting more money each year if he was successful and getting a lower pay-off the more unsuccessful he was. So, fail to win anything and fail to qualify for the Champions League and the compensation is going to be nowhere near the figures being banded about. If that is true then the fact that losing to Everton, which meant that they couldn't get a Champions League place (and so meaning Moyes would get less compensation) and the timing of his departure probably weren't co-incidental!!!!
