CONFIRMED: Moyes Leaving - All Reaction Here

[electricblue]

No not really mate I was a really just being flippant . Nobody is bigger than the club and I truly believe that but if moyes had won a couple of titles and a European trophy I'd be inclined to give him a bit of slack and I'm pretty sure everyone else would.

We can pretend it wouldn't matter but it would , alex ferguson went. Against the fans over the glaziers but no one complained , why would they ? Success = leeway doesn't it ?

I supppose when it is translated into actual silverware it does, in fairness, but it's all relative really. Despite his not winning a trophy, Moyes' tenure here will be seen as a 'success' relatively speaking. Possibly even more so retrospectively if we don't progress further after he has gone, and frankly it's difficult to see how that will happen without the obvious investment that is needed.

He is obviously aware of his present bargaining strength and is using it to his advantage as you have indicated. However there appear to be lot of people in football from what I can gather that are advising him to do exactly what he is doing, and in fact move on elsewhere to further his own ambitions if he doesn't get the money he requires to break the glass ceiling with us. So I really wouldn't blame him for his present stance, especially as it may pan out that it works to our advantage in the end.

Even with Mourinho's success you can't help but get the feeling it's all about me, me, me, and not the clubs he actually works for. That's why I was comparing the two scenarios.

If Moyes leaves at the end of the season I hope we don't bring Martinez in.

I can see us fighting relegation next year if that happens.

No chance, Martinez has got a Wigan squad full of poor players but still plays attacking and positive football. But we've got the likes of Mirallas, Pienaar, Coleman and Baines who are very much attacking players.

Martinez dreams of players like them.

Attacking their way all the way to the Championship.

He certainly doesn't buy them.

 

[ToffeeMike]

He certainly doesn't buy them.

Because he doesn't win the Euromillions every week mate.

Hearing today the Moyes has put very large bids in for players and others of a lesser fin value for other players. Some may not happen because we will miss out on europe.

Sounds like a man who is staying.

 

[Allezfan]

Because he doesn't win the Euromillions every week mate.

To afford Coleman?

 

[Tilling]

Don't buy that for a second.

Martinez loses a lot more games.

It's more the tactic side, not the win ratio.

 

[ToffeeMike]

To afford Coleman?

Coleman is worth about £10m now.

 

[Allezfan]

Coleman is worth about £10m now.

Probably wouldn't be if Martinez bought him.

 

[Christiffa25]

The whole attacking football brings success is such a myth.

Mouriniho's most successful period with Chelsea was certainly not based on attacking football.
Arsenal's most attacking football period a few years ago certainly didn't bring success.

For the record I think Martinez will be a car crash when he moves to a bigger club. Just my opinion like...

 

[Goat]

It's more the tactic side, not the win ratio.

If his tactics were any good, surely they would win more games?

 

[TheFinnFan]

Coleman is worth about £10m now.

you must be kidding right x

Yeah mate I am.

 

[ToffeeMike]

Probably wouldn't be if Martinez bought him.

Now or when we got him for 500k?
