Moyes has not done anything in his career to make you think he could have turned things around at Man Utd, or even to get the job in the first place, whereas Van Goal has an uncanny knack for winning things. I can see Utd winning the FA Cup and getting top 4 which would have to be considered a good first season.
Even as Chelsea fan I don't get the logic of reducing it by one game. To come out and say the ref saw it and therefore no further action can be taken and then reduce the ban is nonsensical. I think there was such a backlash in the media that they felt they had to do something to appease all parties.
On the subject of tv just give each manager 1 appeal each half, that won't slow down the game and will prevent every little incident being reviewed, the managers would only use it for a game changing incident.
