An Everton team who know their manager's off and they could be off too, so won't give a crap about the game. A game that would normally be a difficult one for the chavs. 2 draws from their final 2 games and 2 wins from us would see us 3rd. But now it'll be an easy homer for the chavs
Why couldn't they have announced it at the END of the season. It's not like they couldn't flat out deny it and say it's all BS. They do that all the time
So when we finish behind the Chavs it will be all down to Moyes leaving and not us being shite.Send that to Wenger to use in his post match conference at St James
Did I say that, seriously re-read that and find where I've said that and stop making sh*t up.
If they don't think announcements like that make a difderence then why wasn't it done when there was still a possibility it could affect Manure winning the league. My point is what would have been fair on all the teams still to play is for such a major announcement to be made at the end of the season.
If that's me making excuses for Aw then you must be seeing things that aren't there and I would suggest you go here

According to the media, United have known for a couple of months just not the players and the public at large, my point still stands. They released the information now not in mid April because it would adversely affect them then but not now, there's nowt to play for.
I do get topgoon's point: no way would United have released this info if they were neck-and-neck with Citeh with 2 games left, and you'd hope they wouldn't have done so if Everton were right in with a shout of top four.
But I don't think it's actually that important given that Everton won't really have anything to play for at Chelsea anyway, the fact it's their manager's last game may arguably galvanise the players if anything.
If I was an Everton fan I'd be more pissed off by the fact that Moyes had obviously agreed to go to United at the end of the season several months ago than by the fact it may have a minor impact on their last 2 somewhat meaningless games.

It's been decided there will be 1 minute of applause during the game v Swansea on Sunday, as a mark of respect for Sir Alex.
If United are winning it will be the 92nd minute, if there are losing it will be the 98th.

It's out now because the media leaked it. Otherwise it would have no doubt been officially announced at the end of the season.
United's shares started dipping so they had no choice but to let everyone know and end the speculation.
Media convinced it is Moyes, but someone I know who works in football says it is Mourinho, deal was done over a month ago.
I know that reads really badly on a Forum, but this bloke is not given to coming up with loads of rumours of In The Know stuff, he is just convinced it is Mourinho and seeing as I do not work in football it is interesting to me that the the talk in his circles is about Mourinho.
We shall see
So the bloke I know was wrong
In future shall take what he says with a pinch of salt

No.
It was someone who I would have thought knew what was going on, guess he heard wrong.
Strange though, as it was something said in conversation rather than him making a big deal of it.
