Ten Reasons David Moyez Failed in Manchester United

With the news that the David Moyes era at Manchester United will end after just one season, the post-mortem begins into where it went wrong for the manager dubbed the 'Chosen One' when he replaced Sir Alex Ferguson last summer.

When Moyes arrived at United's Carrington training complex to begin work on July 1 last year, he would never have imagined his tenure would be so brief and disappointing.

But after failing to land his primary transfer targets last summer, Moyes has overseen a disastrous campaign both at home and abroad. 

So David Moyes got the boot and United fans get the boo...

Anyway, while they sort out the mess at Old Trafford, Pulse Students brings the list of the 14 records Moyes broke in his short stint as Manchester United manager.

1.     United are guaranteed to finish the season with their lowest ever Premier League points tally

2.     United fail to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 1995

3.     United's worst home league form for over a decade

4.     Suffered three defeats in a row for the first time since 2001 this season

5.     Eliminated in the FA Cup third round - something which happened just once under Ferguson

6.     First ever home defeat to Swansea this term

7.     First home defeat to Newcastle since 1972

8.     First home defeat to West Brom since 1978

9.     First league defeat to Stoke since 1984

10.   First time United conceded a first-minute goal in the Premier League - Dzeko for City

11.  First time Man City & Liverpool have beaten United home & away since Premier League's inception

12. First time Everton, Man City & Liverpool have beaten United home & away since Premier League's inception

13. First time Everton have beaten United home and away since 1969-70

14. First time Everton & Liverpool have ever done a league double over United in the same season

Scroll down for Moyes' ten reasons he failed

+25

Time's up: David Moyes is set to be sacked as Manchester United manager following a disappointing first season in charge at Old Trafford

Searching for inspiration: Moyes has found it impossible to maintain the high standards set by predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson

United had a championship-winning team last season but are currently seventh in the standings, having also crashed out of the FA Cup to Swansea, the Capital One Cup to Sunderland and the Champions League to Bayern Munich.

Here are 10 moments during the last 10 months where it all went wrong for Moyes.

1.     INDECISION IN THE TRANSFER MARKET

As Premier League champions, Manchester United remained an attractive proposition to the most talented players across Europe even without the aura and authority of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Yet United's pursuit of their summer transfer shortlist was a complete failure.

Too much time was spent trying to entice the likes of Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas and Thiago Alcantara, Everton's Leighton Baines and Athletic Bilbao's Ander Herrera to Old Trafford. There was even talk of a mega money return for Cristiano Ronaldo.5

Grand plans: Moyes was full of optimism when he started at United on July 1 but soon found himself up against it in the transfer market

Flop: Marouane Fellaini cost £27.5m when he arrived on deadline day but has failed to perform to the standards expected25

Drawn out: United pursued Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas all summer but failed to persuade him to leave

Moyes and new chief executive Ed Woodward had plenty of money to spend but negotiations became protracted and ultimately fruitless. Neither had the experience or nous to land the big names.

Moyes started work at United's Carrington training ground as early as July 1, but the time flew past and, in the end, United fans had to be satisfied by the hurried deadline day signing of Marouane Fellaini from his old club Everton for a massively inflated fee of £27.5m.

Though a team of champions, the many weaknesses in United's squad were quickly and ruthlessly exposed as a result of their failure to strengthen in the summer window.

2.     GETTING RID OF FERGUSON'S BACK-ROOM TEAM

When Moyes arrived, it did seem wise to make a clean break with the Ferguson regime by clearing out the back room team and bringing in trusted lieutenants from Everton.

So Mike Phelan, Rene Meulensteen and Eric Steele were shown the door, with Steve Round, Phil Neville, Jimmy Lumsden and Chris Woods coming in. 25

Clean slate: Ferguson's trusted right-hand man Mike Phelan was one of the backroom staff cleared out by Moyes

Replacement: Moyes brought in his staff from Everton, including former United player Phil Neville

Though well known to Moyes, they did not, with the exception of Neville, have comparable experience of winning titles or inspiring players through those season-defining games.

The decision to dispense so readily with Ferguson's loyal team irked the former boss.

Ferguson's presence in the stands and his metaphorical presence at the club have cast a shadow over Moyes.

3.     TOUGH START

There was no easing in for Moyes. The fixture list threw up the toughest fixtures from the outset and United struggled to cope.

A goalless draw with Chelsea in Moyes's first home match was acceptable, but September's losses at Liverpool and Manchester City suggested retaining the title would be a tall order.25

First defeat: Some of United's frailties were exposed by Liverpool in a 1-0 defeat at Anfield in early September

Winner: Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge celebrates with Martin Skrtel after giving his side the lead after just three minutes

It brutally showed up the sluggishness in the transfer market - United had gone backwards while their two rivals had shrewdly added to their squads and evolved.

Moyes made matters worse by complaining about the tricky start to the season, suggesting he wasn't fully prepared for the challenge of managing United.

In the humiliating 4-1 loss at City the scale of the task hit home for Moyes, as his midfield was completely outplayed and his creaking defence outpaced and outmaneuvered.

United had finished 11 points clear of City in the table just four months earlier, now it looked as though the pendulum had swung completely the other way.

Too easy: Man City and Sergio Aguero crushed United 4-1 at the Etihad back in September5

Nightmare: Moyes can't bear to look during the heavy Manchester City defeat

4.     CRUMBLING OF THE OLD TRAFFORD FORTRESS

United had lost just three league games at home in the previous three seasons but, all of a sudden, the fear factor of visiting Old Trafford had evaporated.

Teams that would once have meekly surrendered now arrived brimming with confidence and were dictating the game.

At the end of September, West Bromwich, who last won on the ground in 1978, came and recorded a 2-1 win, continuing United's worst start to a season since 1989-1990.

This campaign has also seen United's first ever home defeat to Swansea and their first home defeat to Newcastle since 1972. 

Re-writing history: West Bromwich won at Old Trafford for the first time since 1978

Unexpected: Yohan Cabaye scored the winner as Newcastle United won at Old Trafford for the first time since 1972

Oh dear: Moyes walks back to the tunnel after United's defeat to Newcastle

5.     FALLING AT THE FIRST HURDLE IN THE CUP

While all United fans expected a transitional season that might mean a lower finish in the league, they might have hoped for Cup success to keep the trophy cabinet stocked.

Under Ferguson, United were only knocked out in the third round of the FA Cup once, but 10-man United were beaten 2-1 at home by an out-of-form Swansea team.

Despite it being clear United would struggle to keep the pace in the league, Moyes fielded a weakened side in this Cup tie and it backfired spectacularly when Wilfried Bony headed home in the last minute.

United progressed a little further in the Capital One Cup, but were dumped out on penalties by Sunderland in the semi-finals in a bizarre shoot-out that saw seven or 10 spot-kicks missed.

6.     A NEW LOW IN EUROPE

United's unbeaten group stage in the Champions League - in which they had beaten Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 at home and 5-0 away - had been a real source of encouragement for Moyes.

But the tipping point came in late February when an atrocious United team were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Olympiacos in Athens.

United were daunted by the febrile atmosphere and outplayed by the weakest team in the last 16 draw, despite the team boasting years of European experience.

It was after this night that fans started to turn against Moyes, even though a Robin van Persie hat-trick turned the tie around in the second leg at Old Trafford.

New low: Joel Campbell, an Arsenal loanee, scores the second for Olympiacos in their Champions League last 16, first leg tie in Athens

Lost: The Olympiacos defeat represented a fresh low for Moyes

7.     HOME HUMILIATIONS TO LIVERPOOL AND MAN CITY

Either side of the Olympiacos fightback were two of the most miserable nights witnessed at Old Trafford in years.

Liverpool, who had finished seventh the previous season, underlined their new-found championship credentials with a resounding 3-0 win in which the defence lost their composure to concede three penalties and Nemanja Vidic was sent off.

And when Manchester City won by the same scoreline a week later, having taken the lead inside the first minute, the writing was really on the wall. 

Guarded: Stewards protect the 'Chosen one' banner on the Stretford End at the end of the City defeat5

Anger: A fan remonstrates with Moyes during the 3-0 home defeat by Manchester City

Ill-discipline: Nemanja Vidic saw red against Liverpool in a 3-0 defeat in whcih United conceded three penalties

Moyes was confronted by one fan as he sat in the dug-out and stewards had to guard the 'Chosen One' banner on the Stretford End to stop frustrated fans tearing it down.

Outclassed United left the field to a chorus of jeers.

It was the first time both City and Liverpool had beaten United home and away since the start of the Premier League era. 

8.     SAYING THE WRONG THINGS

One thing that really riled United fans is the fact Moyes often viewed them as the underdog in his comments as though he had not quite appreciated the difference in stature between Everton and his new club.

After the City match, Moyes said United needed to 'aspire' to be like their Manchester rivals, completely forgetting that his team had beaten them into a distant second place the season before and had won many more trophies over time.

He also suggested that even Ferguson would have struggled to motivate this 'aging' team this season, despite guiding them to the title just 12 months earlier. 

Wrong attitude: Moyes has been criticized for not grasping the sense of expectation at United

9.     MAN MANAGEMENT

There have been many occasions this season when Moyes has undermined the unity of the team by making decisions that Ferguson wouldn't have done.

He evidently didn't rate Fergie's last signing Wilfried Zaha and after leaving him festering on the bench for half the season, finally shipped him out to Cardiff.

Likewise with Shinji Kagawa, who was benched for large parts of the season and only able to prove himself in the last few weeks.+25

Not wanted: Wilfried Zaha was consigned to the bench before being sent out on loan to Cardiff

Frustrated: Shinji Kagawa was also frozen out by Moyes

There were rumours that Moyes fell out with Robin van Persie earlier in the season, with the Dutch striker underwhelmed by Ferguson's successor.

And the news that Nemanja Vidic was to leave for Inter Milan in the summer came out months in advance of the move. 

10.            THE FINAL STRAW

United's owners finally lost patience after Sunday's dismal defeat at Everton.

A spectator dressed as the grim reaper was sat behind Moyes on the away dug-out at Goodison Park and his presence proved prescient.

Despite turning in one of their most pathetic displays of the season, Moyes praised the performance afterwards and urged fans to keep the faith.

It illustrated one final time the gulf in standards between manager and club.

Nyanya bomb blast victims face hunger in hospital

According to a report by Premium Times, some victims of Monday's bomb blast receiving medical attention at the Asokoro General Hospital in Abuja are currently facing hunger as no one is providing them with food.

 

One of the survivors, Salome Jim, told Premium Times that she's only received drugs and drips from the hospital management but no one has given her anything to eat.

"I have been sitting down here waiting for surgery. I am in pain, I am very hungry. No one has come here to give me food, I can neither walk nor move, the nurses and doctors are nice to me but they didn’t give me food. The nurse said she will come and attend to me at 9:30 am this morning and this is 9 o’ clock so I am waiting, but when I came here yesterday they took care of me, I didn’t pay for anything, but they didn’t give us food. I went to bed with an empty stomach, the woman inside the ward over there (she pointed) shared her food with me at midnight, as I am here my relatives don't know I am here as I couldn’t find my phone.” She said.

Another survivor, Shuaibu Abubakar, who suffers psychological imbalance and pains in his legs said he had not eaten since Monday when he was brought to the hospital.

"I did not eat anything I was too weak to eat but at midnight I couldn’t sleep out of hunger. The last time I ate was on Sunday evening, but there was no food provision. Some people from the mosque came here to give me bread and tea this morning, the hospital only gave us injections and drips. I am still hungry, broke and with no money.” he said

The Minister of Health Onyebuchi Chukwu during his visit to the Asokoro Hospital was asked by reporters why the victims had not been fed by the hospital. He denied knowledge of that and said the Hospital management would look into it

"The management of the hospitals will go back after my departure to find the true situation and sort it out. All hospitals have been very cooperative this is the main situation.” he said.

An official of the Asokoro General Hospital who spoke anonymously to Premium Times confirmed that the victims were being administered drugs on empty stomachs 

“Some of the victims cannot eat just yet, but some of them who can eat do not have the money to eat, the government can’t only be administering drugs on empty stomachs it can lead to other serious cases. We all tried yesterday but not even a single word of commendations from the government. You people should let Nigerians know the bomb blast victims are hungry and are not fed,” the official said

101-Year-Old Message in a Bottle Finally Arrives; Return to Sender

A message in a bottle that was thrown into the ocean in 1913 and recently found by a fisherman off the coast of Germany was returned to the sender's granddaughter.

"It was very surprising," said Angela Erdmann, 62, to The Guardian. "A man stood in front of my door and told me he had post from my grandfather. He then told me that a message in a bottle was found and that the name that was on the card was that of my grandfather."

The message, found last month by fisherman Konrad Fischer, is largely indecipherable. However, the name and address of the sender - Richard Platz - is still legible, as is his request that the message be forwarded back to him.

Platz wrote the postcard, thought to be the oldest message in a bottle in the world, when he was just 20 years old.

Erdmann never knew Platz, who died at age 54. But she had heard plenty of stories about the man from her mother, his daughter.

"I knew very little about my grandfather, but I found out that he was a writer who was very open minded, believed in freedom and that everyone should respect each other," she said. "He did a lot for the young and later traveled with his wife and two daughters. It was wonderful because I could see where my roots came from."

The postcard will be on display in a German museum.

WAEC Cheats To Pay 200,000 Naira Fine

A bill seeking to provide N200,000 fine as penalty against examination malpractices has passed second reading at the House of Representatives on Thursday.

In sessions presided over by the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, the bill passed second reading in a unanimous voice vote.

Leading debate on the bill, House Leader, Mulikat Akande-Adeola, said Sections 20/21 of the Principal Act would be amended to incorporate the new fine.

Akande-Adeola said "because of the high incidences of examination malpractices" Section 19 of the WAEC Principal Act, be amended to "include illegal possession of examination papers" among punishable offences.

“Having fore-knowledge of the contents of an examination paper or makes use of an examination paper or the content of it in any manner whatsoever without lawful authority,” she said.

Hon Aikande-Adeola also alerted the House on the fact that Nigeria, despite being a major financier of WAEC, was yet to domesticate the 2013 Convention of the continental examination body.

Therefore, the bill also sought to domesticate it.

“Nigeria is the only country out of the five countries constituting the council’s membership that has not ratified the convention,” she said.

The amendment will thus provide penalties of up to N200,000 against offenders – an increase of 198,000 from the current N2,000 fine.

Speaker Tambuwal referred to the committee on education for further legislative action.

Tuition fee is not even enough to pay the workers’ salaries- Prof. Oladapo Obafunwa (Lasu VC)

The authorities of the Lagos State University have declared that the tuition by their students cannot even pay the workers’ salaries for three months.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Oladapo Obafunwa, stated this just as he noted that the Lagos State Government would invest about N9bn this year in the school.

Obafunwa, who stated this during the institution’s 2013/2014 matriculation, also urged students of the school to shun anti-social behaviour.

Of the 1,582 candidates offered provisional admission to the university, 1,119 persons participated in the exercise having paid their tuition fees.

Fresh students of the school pay between N190, 000 and N400, 000.


For instance, Arts/Education students pay N193,750; Social and Management Sciences, N223,750; Law, N248,750; while those in Communication/Transport, Sciences, Engineering and College of Medicine pay N238,750, N258,750, N298,750 and N348,750 in that order.

Hitherto, the fees ranged between N25,000 and N62,500.

The tuition introduced three sessions ago has continued to attract controversies, the latest resulting in the closure of the institution last January 23 for 26 days following violent students’ demonstrations.

The students, who destroyed property worth millions of naira, were protesting against the closure of the examination portal following the inability of some of them to pay their fees.

But the VC while addressing fresh students on Friday noted that the university was not relying on their tuition to run the school.

According to him, the tuition is not even enough to pay the workers’ salaries for more than three months.
