Not sure you can make that assessment after five months with this squad of players when his general history recently suggests otherwise. I’d agree that his ceiling appears to be an average position of around 7th, but I’d take that next season. (As boring as it sounds)
Exactly!
Sorry mate make that 3 places.
If you say so. I'm lucky enough to be old enough to have seen us win something but there's a whole generation who haven't. Look at how the barcodes reacted to winning the league cup. I'm not lashing them, I think their reaction was perfectly justified. Winning things matter. It's weird to me that people prioritise qualifying for Europe over trying to actually win something. I get why clubs do it, it's cash innit, but the fans? I also think that losing begets losing and winning is a culture.
If you’d have told any of us he’d have us 13th when he took over we’d have bitten your hand off for that. A very good job. We can’t ignore the limitations of the squad so not sure what more Moyes could have been realistically expected to do.
There’s another perspective where Moyes has the opportunity to stamp some authority on the team but bottled it, empowering the players to see him and his following managers off. Arguably the issue with ‘player power’ started with him as it most certainly wasn’t there before.
He might have 'greased' the gravy wheels.
That doesn't sound boring at all after the last 5 years 7th would be a really good year. I have actually enjoyed the last 4 months as much as any time since Carlo left.
