2025/26 David Moyes

[GrandOldTeam]

Boyland/The Athletic again today confirming Moyes is head honcho on recruitment;

• and rubber-stamped by their recruitment department, in which Moyes is the key decision-maker and has a veto over potential signings.

Really insightful article;

Meh. People just notice it more with us as we watch the team all the time. You see the same complaints on pretty much every message board.

I bet you don’t on Brentford’s after last night and most of the season. We can be happy with League position and also say the football is boring and dull. We’re 18th
In the league for creating chances and that’s Down to the manager and how he sets up the team

Not the point Joey, you sat in his thread for half a season complaining we dont play kids, he comes back and you leave his thread, ignore the fact he's a kid playing under Moyes and jump in Aznous thread and start the same process..

Your issue isn't kids, it's Moyes..

You done the same with the crock Rohl, and than got fed up when he didn't play..

Armstrong and George have played in each game since being here.

He was substitute in his last game plus he is not a winger ....

 

[Joey66]

How on earth are you starting 4 centre mids all in the correct positions???

Options just them four ....

It seems the firing of football managers is a modern obsession. It’s getting to the stage people are sacks after months instead of years!

This season seems mad. If you're not in any real danger then spending money on a sacking and a short-term replacement seems illogical.
Sacked them closer to the end or if your target becomes available.

It’s become a way to “drive engagement” on social media.

Only a relegation clause iirc...

Surprise, surprise - I’m talking crap again!

It's not all on Moyes,we don't have the players to move the ball quickly enough. So many of games we have lost have been to teams with pace. Something we lack.

It’s called coaching , KDH was bought from Chelsea for 30mil. James garner is getting talked about as getting in the England squad, ndiaye is getting valued at 60/70mil we had grealish, we have got good footballers, but it’s safety first football. We didn’t lose to
Pace on Tuesday, we didn’t lose to pace v spurs, or Liverpool or Leeds and probably a few more

Pace players either have or don't,you can't coach it into them. None of the players you mentioned could ever be described as rapid.

You don't need pace to move the ball quickly you need quick thinkers with awareness

You don't need pace to move the ball quickly you need quick thinkers with awareness

But you do need players quick enough to get into positions to receive the ball in space when we attack. No pace or intensity all through the team. It's why Leeds took 4 points out of us. Not a top side but out ran us in both games.

 

[MikeH72]

But that’s the point, Branthwaite will be classed as £1.7m player in that table. So why would a £100m player be ignored?

Clearly I’ve missed a massive load of context but cba scrolling back, I just saw you trying to argue that Grealish is a £100m valued player in the year of our lord 2026 so apologies if that’s not what you were arguing.

What a waste of a rubber stamp than.

Cant read the article, as i don't do the wonders of twitter.

Is it just self explanatory on ours/his lack of recruitment strategy..
