That's not what it's down to mate. If you were the manager of Tesco and the owners saw such a spectacular decline in success, would you keep your job? It's a black & white viewpoint to assume it's just because of a lack of immediate success. They expected a shit season. He's squandered £70m in funds already, turned winners into losers and consistently makes bizarre, defeatist comments (latest one was saying even Ferguson wouldn't have done better than he has this season).

If he isn't good enough, then they have a right to call him out, they shouldn't have to wait three years until he's done even further damage to do something if it's clear he's the wrong choice.

Except they aren't allowed to do this because there is a heavy security presence around that banner so they can't take it down. If anyone takes a banner in that they don't like i.e. Moyes Out, they'll be kicked out and banned for life, so what do they do? They want their voices heard.

Everyone and his dog knows Moyes is not the man, it's actually at the point now everyone who doesn't support them wants him to stay . The only reason it's come to this is because they weren't allowed to take down a banner that should never have gone up in the first place (and was paid for by the club, not the fans).

Even after 40 years of **** all, I'd be absolutely embarrassed if any fans did something like that at my club. Given the boos that met it around Old Trafford, I'd say there are plenty of United fans that feel that way.
The attendance at OT shouldn't be an indication of anything, they are brain dead Glazer stooges. I'm lurking on RI (forum that did this) now, they are mostly lifelong Mancs, not out of towners and daytrippers, it's not down to glory hunting or a lack of instant success, they are justified. Applauding Moyes on is just blind loyalty.
