I agree with this but you are missing something. Moyes had already proved he could finish well as the season before we finished 7th. I remember that season we finished 17th. Rooney in my opinion was unsettling the dressing room. I distinctly remember never being concerned we would go down cos Moyes always would turn a bad run around. He was strong willed.No, because this will just carry on happening until we drag ourselves down.
In a different manager climate, Moyes almost did exactly that in his second season, we stuck by him because we couldn't afford to do anything else, but the stability that followed can't be overlooked.
Furthermore Moshiri will be well aware that questions will start to be asked about his credentials if he keeps twisting and getting it wrong.
Let's also not forget, a lot of this mess can still be attributed to the legacy of Steve Walsh.
Under Allardyce we finished 8th. He turned a bad run around after Xmas with arguably a poorer side. He showed resilience and found a way to get the team winning again. I believe Sam would have us higher right now. I understand why he wasn't liked and did not fit our club and fully accept it. However due to Moshiri and his billions a large section of the fan base now have huge expectations. Sam was never fashionable enough to fit into this new template. We need Continental glamour with Brazilians running round the pitch!
I don't have confidence Silva can turn around bad runs. I really hope I'm wrong and made to look a fool. There's just no resilience in this side. Moyes would've rollocked his team for not giving enough. He was a tough manager. Okay he bottled it at times but you know what I'm saying. I struggle to imagine Marco raising his voice to this lot. He appears dour. I can't understand a word he says at press conferences. Maybe he's just to cool for school. I want to hear his plan to turn this around but between the silence and broken English I'm non plussed.
Cmon Marco prove me wrong. I'm happy to look like a fool just to get back to winning ways again.
