    He is. Very much so. It's why he meets players like Delap, spoke to Tete etc. No player comes in without Moyes wanting, and speaking to them.

    Spoke about that a lot mate, most recently here but the real acid test was always before the season. We needed to hear that after the last few years we've had, and more importantly to Moyes, he knows what the owners wanted to hear. Exactly...

    He's part of the recruitment team, if not the most significant. He's entitled to be unhappy, but broadcasting it in the way he is, is self serving, isn't constructive or helpful. There's a reason the CEO and club try an manage perception -...

    I hoped to have a little optimism going into this season, it's draining. His comments around desperation, being near the bottom the last 5 years, not having the players to compete etc arent helpful, and self serving. They only help himself. We...

    Thread titles are yes, content isn't.

    To some extent it might be healthy for the manager to put pressure on and challenge the directors, I hope that’s what it is anyway. We have had happy yet failing squads and staff for years. I heard John Giles in an interview saying you don’t...

    Your post has also alluded to the players which were scouted under Thelwell/Purdy being good players which have gone elsewhere. Both Kudus and Minteh have demonstrated that they are capable of performing in the Premier League, with both having...

    Many of these fan or fan group / New accounts just love to stoke the fans. Pure interaction farming.

    Aye, I'm very much just waiting and seeing. We've been a mess for so long, selling our offer to players is going to be a grind. We don't have Ancelotti's aura or Martinez' bull to get them in anymore.

    It may have been that they had to choose between Thelwell and Moyes and saw sacking the manager a bigger issue than just letting DoF's contract run out. And I base this on the rumours of players Thelwell apparently had lined up that Moyes turned...

    My thoughts exactly . Too much change too soon. Poorly planned handover. Threw the baby out with the bath water.
  • GrandOldTeam
    To be fair to Thelwell, at least he went for players who wanted to come though, like Kudus an Gnonto who were going on strike to force the move. Kudus would have come on loan if Man Utd hadn't took Antony. We were always just hoping the club...
