    That sounds like you're trying to make it impossible to answer really, because whatever I say you can claim that completely unquantifiable things like confidence and momentum would have been affected. Obviously on a basic level the answer is yes...

    No id prefer a manager who tries more in this respect. Id personally would have a lot of patience for a manager with a different attitude, if it took them a couple seasons to build up. With Moyes I feel very sure there's no surprises coming...

    As my best I'd take two or three of Moyes seasons, Martinez first season and then all the rest vary between godawful to average and dull. So the field for best season in recent memory award is a very weak one and my original point about his...

    That's the key for me. I have defended the old KITAP1 approach at times and I can 100% get on board with the idea that it is/was a valid approach in theory when considering the potential disparity in quality between us and the best teams. The...

    I think that some people can't fully comprehend is that some of the supposed teams Moyes has atrocious records with aren't even dominant anymore they're just a sky six team, Moyes record against Man United even recently is woeful , and it's not...

    And I think that's a fair enough reading of what he does. My own take would be he prioritises not losing by the way he sets up, which greatly minimises the chances of a win. % football basically. And it's fine that it's his way, and it's fine if...

    He sets up the team in a way which he thinks gives us the best chance of winning away at a big side. We have rarely had lightening pace on the counter attack which is how nearly all of the lower budget teams get there occasional wins away at the...

    Yet another straw man argument as nobody is saying that. I get that you don't understand why people don't like or want Moyes but I don't get the need for the hyperbole to make your point. It's very davek

    What's that got to do with whether Moyes will try to give us them or not? Emphasis on tty

    Maybe but for many football is more than just wins, goals and points. Otherwise a lucky 1-0 win against Fulham at home after a crap performance would be just the same as a 1-0 away win to the RS playing them off the park. I don't expect Moyes to...

    What they have is a right of light acquired by a period of 20 years' enjoyment. Right of light works like any right of way - subject to certain conditions, if you've been using it for 20 years it becomes a right in law. Usually a developer will...

    Fair enough, I thought the agenda comment was just silly but was not yours. I don't think necessarily I would see it as a wild take either, I just think you'd very much be in the minority and got the sense you were talking like "this is how any...

    Fwiw I don't think you have to have an agenda to disagree with me. My sole measure of success is winning games. I'm not arsed who we win them against (with the exception of Liverpool where that's because I hate them). I don't see that as being...
