Anyone who thinks things have developed over the last couple of days are kidding themselves. From last summer, when he was doing Euro Championship TV work, through to 5live commentaries (Man U game v Real in the Champions League) and appearances on MOTD, there has been an orchestrated and deliberate campaign to raise
Moyes' profile ready for him getting the United job.
All the talk of discussing new contracts in the summer was a stalling tactic with Fergie's retirement and
Moyes getting the job already decided IMHO.
That said, he's been offered a job where he has chance if league titles and European Cups. If he'd have turned that down, there would have been serious questions about his ambition / sanity.
All in all, we've had a good (not great) 11 years. Theres been some highs and a good few lows, but after the horror show of the 90's, he's left the club in a better state than how he found it, and for that I'm grateful.
Good luck Dave, I expect you'll need it.
