and also Ferguson went 4 years before winning anything.
Theres only one genius here and that's Sir Alex...He has spent his career at United building his teams up and when they tipped over the peak rebuild them again..He knew that squad was ageing and needed a rebuild..And he also knew that the Glaziers didn't have the cash to do it..He made one last effort aided by teams with better squads who were inconsistent and went......Im not Moyes biggest fan but im not naïve enough to think that anybody would be doing much better.....
Jose has already been round the big leagues. I think he would have happily had 5+ years at United.
However, I can only see it getting tougher for United to get back to the top of the tree: if Chelsea get a goalscorer, if Arsenal do likewise, if City keep Aguero fit, if Liverpool keep improving. (A lot of "ifs" I know.)
Moyes never struck me as a managerial genius. He came across as someone who could ster up moderate players to over achieve, bit like Woy. Look what happened when he went to Liverpool. How they overlooked Jose in favour of Gollum is one of life's great mysteries.
Rumours on twitter that Ryan Giggs has had a bust up with Moyes calling him clueless, I reckon the writing is on the wall for Moyes

I have a sneaky feeling that somebody has been really, really clever. following a legend is always, always, always an impossible task. Nothing works. Those left behind hate the new bloke - simply because he's not the old bloke. Just look to Leeds for an example of that. The new bloke wants to get rid of the old lags because they're pissed off with him and too set in their ways.That's even happened at Utd before. So the race is on between who gets it first: the old guard? or the new bloke? The clever bit is who might have recognised all this and decided to wait a little while. The glory is usually reaped by the one after the new bloke....BobG
Had I been Moyes, on Day One, I'd have had all the players round to Rusn Giggs's basement cinema and showed them The Damned United. I'd have had a reight good f***ing giggle about it. About how stupid the players and the manager were. About how everything could be pissed away because of egos and misunderstandings. Then, I'd have sacked the f***ing lot of em and signed James Coppinger and Billy Sharp.
