Statement regarding Moyes and the Plane Banner

Red Issue Main Forum Statement re: - Moyes Plane Banner

27/04/2014

To whom it may concern, The decision to fly a plane over Old Trafford bearing the slogan 'Wrong One: Moyes Out' is one borne out of acute frustration - frustration at the poor results, lack of fight on the pitch and the unavoidable signs that David Moyes isn't up to the highest standards required to manage Manchester United Football Club. 

A significant proportion of Manchester United fans have had enough and unequivocally want David Moyes sacked. Further frustration has been created from the inaccurate perception that all Manchester United fans are behind David Moyes. 

A banner erected by Stretford End flags, that dubs David Moyes the 'Chosen One' (ludicrously prematurely into his career at United), suggests that all Manchester United fans are supportive of Moyes which isn't accurate. The plane and banner which will fly over the stadium this Saturday attempts to directly counter this very unpopular banner with the words 'Wrong One' and the 'Moyes Out' wording is our statement of what a significant group of Manchester United fans want to happen next at our club. 

This isn't a reaction because we aren't getting our own way in terms of winning games. There is neither sufficient time or space to list the unwanted records set by the club this season under Moyes stewardship. We cannot have a manager who thinks it is acceptable to call our major rivals "favourites" when they play us at Old Trafford. It is a betrayal of the club's ethos, a betrayal of the players and a betrayal of the fans support. 

We want a manager who understands and embraces our attacking traditions and has a vision of confidence for the future, not a manager who seems to be completely disassociated and visibly uncomfortable with the fact that he is the manager of Manchester United. 

The plane is due to fly over the stadium 10 minutes prior to KO and for the first 5 minutes of the game.
