Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis believes that the manner of David Moyes’ departure from Manchester United leaves a bitter taste in the mouth and feels that the Red Devils’ aura of stability has been washed away in the last few days.
Manchester United sacked Moyes on Tuesday, but the news of his imminent departure was leaked on Monday, before the former Everton boss had been officially informed.
“Personally I'm really disappointed for David. I think David deserved longer. The way it was handled as well was disappointing,” the former Stoke manager said in a press conference this morning.
Pulis believes that the whole saga could have been handle in a much more professional way and feels that Manchester United’s stature as a club that value stability has been washed away this week.
