2025/26 David Moyes

[matty1878]

He signed him for big money!

and told him to miss sitters

Bell and Downing bid, and another consortium put a bid in. Plus we had the guy from Palace. So Moshiri had options. No Moyes got rid of Thelwell, & effectively Purdy. TFG weren’t adverse to keeping Thelwell and wanted Purdy to stay. I think it’s pretty clear that Thelwell overall did a better job than Moyes has done in the recruitment of players.

Much of that is supposition and not fact. But Moyes has now lost all the confidence I had in him. He steadied the ship but we need a dynamic and progressive younger mind. The game has changed and Moyes has not.

Let’s be clear Kinnear and Hammond play no role in identifying suitable players! The two recruitment people who would (alongside Moyes) weren’t in place in the summer.

So the guy whose job title is head of recruitment, has no say in recruitment. Excellent stuff.

The head of a department doesn't perform every role in that department, that's what the other staff are for.

If the department is not performing who do you blame?

Barry wasn’t big money in this day and age.

Football isn’t like running a factory!

I have seen better CFs in semi pro football who back then we're on £80 - 100 per week - DM signed him ....

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Anyone else heard this Buck Rodgers rumour?admittedly I only got a text from a kopite wind up merchant but apparently TFG are looking at him as a potential replacement as they want an attacking brand of football at our shiny new stadium,I’d rather turn back to Bobby Brown Shoes if that was the case

@Old Blue 2 forgive me chief, and I might be all over the show here, but it's a bit rich championing 'little fishies biting' when you're on a 6 consecutive reply run. This area is different from the other parts, it gets a lot more traffic and input from a much more diverse and less known element. Chill a bit?

I thought you'd seen enough of my posts over time to know that not only do I reply to knocks and insults, but dish out a few along the way as well. Today, I thought it was hilarious how some people deflected from my simple point that once on the pitch a Manager loses control over the actions of their own players re the errors they commit on it. I experienced that enough when just managing a Sunday League team. If they can't grasp that, then they are one slice short of a loaf, basically...

Don't need to chill at all, meter maid...

I was trying to be a calming influence and cool out the negative atmos. My memory is not so shot yet that I've forgotten our previous chats. Tryin' to be up beat and a bit humorous. Chalk this up to yet another fail on my part.

I think you should up your posting rate 500%, your lack of self awareness is and always has been fascinating

Certainly hides his light under a bushel.

The employee(s) within that department who aren't demonstrating capability in their role(s) I guess?
