David Moyes On Falling Out With Sir Alex Ferguson

David Moyes tells a story of when he had an argument with Sir Alex Ferguson after a 4-4 draw between Everton and Manchester United in 2012. Moyes, who was managing Everton at the time, explains that Ferguson felt his team tried harder against Manchester United than against Liverpool the week before in the FA Cup. The draw meant Manchester United lost the Premier League to Manchester City on the final day. #shorts #football #soccer #premierleague #epl #everton #manchesterunited #mancity

That 4-4 killed us man...I'm still bitter about that day

[ciaranmcguinness]

It really wasn't that game that cost us the league, Everton were a good team, it was Wigan who cost us the league, a team we should have hammered and we lost 1-0

Alex Ferguson invited David Moyes to his home and said, "I'm about to retire, you're the new manager of Manchester United."
No application, no interview.
Moyes wasn't given the time he needed. He over achieved at Everton and has done a brilliant job at West Ham.

Sir Alex wasn’t wrong. I saw many games where Everton would slapped but somehow every season turned up all the time against United like it was personal 😂

[WorldCupWillie]

I remember when my team(West Ham) beat Man U in that year when Leeds overtook them at the end of season. Ferguson was pissed off at our performance because we were already relegated, but played really well.
He described it as "obscene" 😂

[andycai]

😂and Alex destroy him by giving him the Man Utd job 😂

[coljj]

Ferguson expecting his mates to roll over for him. Also losing at Wigan a few days before and playing for a draw at the Etihad didn't help either.

[marktyree]

Fine for Alex to field reserves against west ham though when they're in a relegation batter

[boxingfit]

How bloody childish of Ferguson to respond that way

[ZainShayk]

Why are we acting like the 6-1 loss to City didn't lose Utd the league... literally only lost it on goal difference lol

[Hacktheplanet_]

Honestly this season was magical to watch, i rememberwatching this on tv with my dad and we were going mental when everton came back for the draw.... Insane !

[aramanon]

I actually wrote out our results vs Uniteds team by team for that season and Everton really was the only difference.

[basseybassey]

People blame Everton for Man City's title win. But my take is this, Manchester United lost home and away against City, including a 6-1 loss. Atleast a draw in one of the matches could have made a whole difference knowing that City was the major Title contenders,
Naturally, i should not loose to you home and away, and expect to end ahead of you on the league table.

[andrewbaxter]

I think he'd fallout with himself in a phone box 😮

[theblether]

The way Ferguson treated people was abysmal.

[lewmcfc]

The 6-1 and 1-0 made us win the league not Everton drawing

[Mhxqu]

SAF giving Moyes the United team he did was the perfect revenge for that 4-4 game 😂 genuinely did irreparable damage to his resumé as a manager

[Driver]

I was at that 4-4 game. From being 3-1 and also 4-2 ahead, I expected nothing more than a comfortable victory. But the United defence that day was brutally bad. Porous and almost non existent. Too complacent. Disappointing result but the players deserved to be taught a lesson that day.

[firstcontact]

Alex Ferguson one of the biggest cheats in the game, he basically wanted moyes to throw the game in as many words.

[moreblack]

Never liked Moyes since the 4-4. I was counting the days until he got the sack.
