Kompressor Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm happy Rooney's action are being greated in a lot less nauseating way compared to how it was greated the first time. My reaction is the same as it was last time. Shrug. See you later thanks for the memories. He hasn't even got the "significant signings angle" he spouted out last time. Wouldn't be surprised if he's decided to get out due to the club telling him if a new contract is to be signed he'll be on the same money or possibly less. The sad death of Colleen's sister may well have had a say aswell. As now they'd be more open to moving abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kompressor Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 nybody else think fergie will still pull the ropes in his new position as ambassador or whatever he is? Put it this way he'll definitely do more than Bobby Charlton, less than Woodward and probably say more than the new manager would like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompressor Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ain't the rooney thing just rumours though? Strong rumours that have been growing since the summer. It could be easy to dismiss it but based on his form this season, the fact that everyone has a price and his contract situation it would make sense to get rid now as I don't think the club would offer a wage increase and he may not sign a new contract without one.

Young £ Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 David Moyes: the manager's tactical strengths and weaknesses While Moyes has often frustrated big sides in the Premier League he has rarely beaten them – especially away from Goodison Park Share 0 inShare Email Michael Cox The Guardian, Thursday 9 May 2013 14.42 BST Jump to comments (0) The forward promptings of Everton's Leighton Baines, left, are crucial to the David Moyes strategy. Photograph: Scott Heppell/AP A solid shape David Moyes is a particular fan of "segmenting" his training pitch to encourage players to cover space efficiently. One format involves the playing area divided into 24 equal squares, so the defence play high up the pitch, the wide players stretch the play, and the attackers rotate position. Another setting sees the pitch divided lengthways into six narrow bands of 12 yards each – the back four must occupy the nearest four "bands" when the ball is on one flank, then the middle four when the ball is in central positions. There's also a strong importance placed upon positional responsibilities at transitions from attack to defence, with players ordered to organise themselves immediately, usually into two banks of four. Reactive tactics Moyes travelled to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night to witness Chelsea's strategy ahead of Everton's trip there on the final day of the campaign. It was no surprise – it's hard to think of another Premier League manager so frequently found by television cameras in the stands, scouting upcoming opponents. It sums up Moyes's approach – whereas other managers believe paying too much attention to the opposition affects self-belief, the Scot is a naturally reactive manager who varies his side's approach to nullify the strengths, and expose the weaknesses, of a particular opponent. Sometimes this reactivity can become negativity, and while Moyes has often frustrated big sides in the Premier League he has rarely beaten them – especially away from Goodison Park. The value of width The defining feature of Everton's play this season is the crossing of Leighton Baines from the left, where his partnership with Steven Pienaar is arguably the best wide combination in the Premier League. One of the key parts of Moyes's strategy is creating overloads – two-versus-one and three-versus-two situations – in wide areas. The movement of Leon Osman from a central position towards the channel often confuses opposition defences, who are reluctant to be dragged out of shape, and end up defending a stream of crosses. "We like our attackers to retain width whilst ensuring team-mates still occupy space in the middle of the field," he told Elite Soccer, the LMA's magazine, earlier this year. Ball retention in advanced positions Compared to many other managers recently appointed at big clubs, Moyes isn't overwhelmingly focused upon ball retention – Everton possess only the 11th-best pass completion rate in the Premier League. However, when Everton do have possession, they keep the ball in advanced positions; 33% of their passes are played in the opposition third of the pitch – which on paper sounds entirely logical, but it's the highest percentage of any Premier League team, with Marouane Fellaini and Osman, two attacking midfielders, the most prolific passers. (The opposite would be a side like Swansea – only 23% in the final third, with two defenders their most frequent passers.) Moyes's sides may not focus upon possession play, but nor are his sides ever guilty of sterile domination – he encourages positive outcomes, ie crosses and shots, at the end of attacking moves. Switches of play Moyes has always appreciated calm, patient midfielders who are happy knocking the ball calmly from flank to flank. Mikel Arteta was key when fielded in central midfield, and Moyes's purchase of Darron Gibson from Manchester United provided Everton with another reliable, unfussy passer in that position, which means Michael Carrick should continue to play an important role. One of Moyes's favourite training sessions involves two small-sided teams attacking into three mini-goals, which are spread across the width of the playing area. The idea is to encourage players to attack down one side, realise the opposition are blocking the path to goal, and then play a quick lateral pass to attack from the opposite wing. The results are evident in Everton's play. Michael Cox is the editor of tactics website zonalmarking.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Sir Alex Ferguson said: "When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of Assistant Manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this Club.” Sir Bobby Charlton said: “I have always said that we wanted the next manager to be a genuine Manchester United man. In David Moyes, we have someone who understands the things that make this such a special club. We have secured a man who is committed to the long-term and will build teams for the future as well as now. Stability breeds success. “David has tremendous strength of character and recognises the importance of bringing young players through and developing them alongside world class talent. At United, I think David will be able to express himself. I’m delighted he has accepted and I’m Ed Woodward, said: “In David Moyes, we have secured the services of an outstanding manager who has all the skills to build on the phenomenal legacy in place today. I have no doubt that he will bring an energy and commitment to deliver winning football that is part of the fabric of this Club. In this respect, he is cut from the same cloth as the Old Trafford greats who go before him. “I have been very impressed by David’s personal and managerial traits, which reflect the Manchester United values. I have no doubt that he will embrace, and soon become an integral part of, United’s unique culture and heritage.” Joel Glazer said: “I am very pleased David has agreed to lead Manchester United into the future. His hard working style and steely determination and are characteristics we value at the Club. He has impressed as a coach for many years now and we strongly believe he will be able to take up from where Alex is leaving off by continuing this Club’s tradition of flair football played by exciting, world class players.” Avie Glazer said: “The search for a new manager has been very short. Alex was very clear with his recommendation and we are delighted that David has agreed to accept the job. He comes to us with excellent credentials and a strong track record. I know he is keen to get started and Ed will be sitting down with him as soon as the season is over to discuss plans for the summer and beyond." David Gill said: “I’m delighted that David has agreed to join Manchester United. He has done a terrific job at Everton and has all the qualities that we are looking for in a manager to succeed Alex.” David Moyes said: “It’s a great honour to be asked to be the next Manager of Manchester United. I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the Football Club. “I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn’t something that comes around very often and I’m really looking forward to taking up the post next season. “I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and Board of Directors and a great set of players. Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table. “Everton’s fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players. Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life.” David will be introduced to the world as the Manager of Manchester United in due course.
