(CNN) -- Not so much the Chosen One, more the Disastrous One. From the get go, David Moyes struggled in getting to grips with the task of managing Manchester United and less than a year after succeeding the legendary Alex Ferguson, the Scot has been sacked just 10 months into a six-year contract. It's an old adage that Rome wasn't built in a day -- but it did burn in seven nights. With that in mind, here are the big mistakes made by Moyes during his turbulent Old Trafford tenure with the club now left fighting all sorts of fires both off and on the pitch.
