#END
OF AN ERROR
Once, a famous tweet by President Uhuru Kenyatta in
his twitter handle jokingly teased, “who am I to sack Ole lemku if Man United has
not sacked David Moyes?” now I do not know the import of Moyes’ sacking
and Ole Lenku prospects. Perhaps, the security CS needs to consult the fortune-tellers.
Thankfully they no longer get the sack over 1pm news bulletin; but that is a
story for another day.
So this past week, less than 360 minutes from the end
of the season, a trophy less season and what’s more, a season Manchester United
will finish with the lowest premier league points tally ever, David Moyes was
sacked just after one season as manager.
All eyes this past weekend turned to the Old
Trafford dug-out as Man-U began lie after David Moyes. Ryan Giggs assisted by
three fellow members of united famed “class of 92”; took temporary charge of
the troubled giants and led them to beat struggling Norwich 4-0.
At the Old Trafford, banners read boldly, “in
Giggs we trust” as he made his way in a suit to seat at the former
coach Ferguson’s seat at the dugout. He had time to smile and sign autographs for
fans close to the dug-out. The 40-year old, surrounded by other gilded
graduates of United’s youth academy, with Nicky Butt, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes,
all helping their old colleague, those familiar faces inspired a win over
Norwich and put smiles back on many faces.
With united starting the post Moyes ear, eyes turned
to Anfield where Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho who carried out his threat to
field a weakened team that beat the Reds 2-0. Liverpool’s red-hot from after
reeling off 11 successive league wins, came to an abrupt end on Sunday.
But good news is that Luis Suarez, scorer of 30
league goals this season, after the defeat was declared the Season’s Player of
the year.
With Liverpool’s defeat, now eyes turn to Manchester
City and Chelsea who still remain favorites in the title race!
