2025/26 David Moyes

[Swartzy]

No. I said we were in need of a relegation manager and got one.

When Moyes first came to us, he put flame too a light that had been fading down for years.

He's come back and reignited that flame again.

At the moment that's a 100% record.

We are now at a place we can move forward, if the owners don't think it's happened to their expectations in the summer, maybe you'll get you will get your wish, and maybe it will be better for the future.

But at the moment you are full of gas, and you know it yourself..
You detest anything that you can't find a hole in..

A new manager, you will just find another stick to beat him with..

I dont like him. Fact 1.

I dont like him but accept that if he gets us top half then the owners will more than likely - and reasonably - keep him on. Fact 2.

The facts, Mr Gradgrind, are that up until 2009 Moyes and a very handy pot of funds to spend from what came in from sales and a little bit more.

But dont forget: he agreed to go along with Kenwright's fire sale post 2009. No one forced him to and he could have thrown in with fan demands for more investment but didn't fancy it...in fact, he just attacked fans for demanding it.

All answerable in two words, "Hard Times".

Are you telling us that was Moyes fault?

Stop replying to it por favor. Pages of nonsense that go nowhere

All fine here.....for you. Some of us like him. Opinions are ok to have.

 

[davek]

Bit late here. Has he spilled his cappuccino down his kecks?

I don’t like the Tory Kopite scab that used to manage us but I’ve been told repeatedly on here that that opinion isn’t ok to have.

Unlikely, I believe he has you on ignore.

Fact 3 - you dislike a certain individual.
New owners.
Naming Rights.
Ambulance Chasers.
Bringing in money by using the stadium for other events.
The look of the surrounding area around the new ground.

Over anything on the field.

None of these things will ever change in your mind.

You don't care for football, you care about anything negative that surrounds the game.

Or Fact 4 - you just crave interaction, and negativity is the best bait to catch a bite.

 

[Pootsy]

@davek - He just said he wants to challenge at the TOP of the league. One simple sentence breaking your defeatist argument.

Not strictly true, if it`s a manger that`s a universally unpopular appointment, like Benitez or Dyche, he`ll throw his weight 100% behind them, as that`s what he does, the same way he shifted from Moshiri being the devil incarnate and a carpet bagger, to the saviour of the club once everyone had turned on him.

"We're struggling with numbers" - Moyes.

Err, no, we actually aren't.

Mate....have you seen our bench lately?!

Mate....have you seen our bench lately?!

We have Aznou to choose and we have Rohl back in the team. We have Armstrong anytime after Jan 1st.

Tell me where we're short or how we cant put a decent team out.

We have a shortage of one commodity though: a manager who can adapt and play different formations and players in different positions.

Wasn't it only a month ago he was telling us all how we're nowhere near the level of Newcastle, a team we were (and still are) above in the table?

His M.O. is and has always been to downplay ambitions whenever he has to answer for a bad result. He simply can't manage a club that wants to be considered a heavyweight because with that comes pressures and expectations.

He's the right man for now, but not for much longer.
