I don't know how people can think we could get a better person as manager than Moyes at the moment. The truth is we don't have much money to spend, even if we do at all. Is there any other manager in English Football who has proven they can do as well with the restricted transfer funds that Moyes has had?
I can understand people being frustrated with his tactics sometimes. At times i've been livid with him, like in the Anfield Derbies and at Bolton last week for taking off Jelavic and bringing on Heitinga (it turned out that a lot of us were wrong about that, even if it was very lucky on Moyes behalf). But for every **** up he makes in certain games by negative tactics etc, this is far outweighed by his excellent signings with little money and getting the most out of his players each season. People need to take a step back and look at how far we've come under Moyes.
I'm 23 and this is easily the best squad we've had since I started following us from about 5 or 6 years old. How often in the 90's and early 2000's did we compete in games against the likes of United, Arsenal, Chelsea etc and beat them or run them close like we do now? When Moyes took over, we had a terrible squad. There is no point in comparing the team now to the title winning teams in the 80's and saying we're a long way off, because Moyes had to build a good team from scratch and there is a massive gulf in spending power between teams like us now and the likes of City, Chelsea and Man United, compared to teams in the 80's.
Everyone raves about players like Baines, Pienaar and Jagielka being in the team. Well it was Moyes who brought those players in and has let them develop into the players they are. Even certain players he has brought in that didn't stay, he still got everything out of them while they were here and sold them on for much more, Lescott being a perfect example.
We could always get rid of Moyes, a proven manager in the Premiership who has done well for years, and bring in a manager like Pardew, Martinez, Lambert or Rodgers who have had the odd good season as manager. Then we will see how well we cope with the limited funds available for transfers. I think it's fairly obvious that we would be on a slippery slope towards the drop and not challenging for a european place like we are under Moyes.
