It would be a major cock-up if The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Mail were all wrong.

Since the WMD/Andrew Gilligan thing the BBC need mutliple sources on pretty much everything.

Sky are now saying Manchester United have told them Moyes is still in charge but "will learn his fate in next 24 hours".

Translation: he's being sacked.

 

[KBC]

yep, the sack is imminent... and to the delight to many. Who will be the next Man United boss?

 

[ParkedTheBus]

If United are going to terminate his contract , they are going to pay a ridiculous amount for compensation. Remember , he is on a 6-year contract. Even RDB , who had a two year contract , earns 130K a week from Chelsea as compensation.

Moyes Out no please who are we going to bring in for fish sake no no no

Fabio Capello has announced his retirement. He will retire after 2018 WC. #ThankYouFabio

I reckon they already have a replacement lined up.

If united has to sack, this is the best time. I wouldn't trust Moyes with the transfer window, and if there is a replacement in sight, they can analyze the current squad and decide on the transfers accordingly.

I was hoping for two or three seasons of mediocrity before they sacked him. Oh well.

Why can't they?

I'm sure he'd bring in quality players like Leon Osman, Steven Naismith and Steven Pienaar.

Not really, Di Matteo is not in charge of any club so he continues to get his compensation. It was the same with AVB but his compensation was terminated once he joined spurs. Likewise when he was sacked from spurs and later joined Zenit.

If David moyes finds another job (if his luck stops frowning upon him) his original 6 year contract with Man Utd will be terminated. As for as the clauses go, they're a mess, I'm not aware if there's one that states he will receive compensation whether he gets sacked or joins another club.

Last I've heard adebayor is still getting paid by man city.
