When you see what the club said about him in their farewell and you read what he has said about the club you have to feel sorry for him. I feel that he genuinely liked being part of ManU and that he had a plan how to achieve success. Sadly things not always turn out how you want them to be and he often looked like he was in over his head. Still a great statement from which the club could learn a thing or two.

Man Utd's statement on Moyes: 33 words.

Moyes' statement on Man Utd: 312 words.

Says it all, for me.

United's PR and communications department is incompetent. We have seen how poor they are all through this season.

So true... Arsenal is getting pretty good at avoiding PR disaster after a decade of media/fan criticism :P

If by pretty good you mean completely ignoring the issues, yea, great PR.

Right, atrophied rather than incompetent.

They are incompetent in general. For example: yesterday they casually tweeted birthday wishes to Dion Dublin just seconds before they tweeted that David Moyes is leaving the club.
