Vaughan
Player Valuation: £35m
Moyes has been good for us but I think we have to change in the summer.
At some point you've got to give something new a try. Look at Brentford, there's no way anyone would've said for them to get rid of Frank because he was doing well, they were solid and stable. Obviously it wasn't their choice but look how it's worked out, they're a brilliant team, in the cup and looking at Europe in the league (much more than we are).
It could go badly but what do we want to be as a club? We've got a fantastic new stadium, new owners and a squad that means realistically we won't go down so what are the arguments for not taking a punt on something new?
i think brentford is a different case though, not to put a slight on andrews who seems a really good coach, but the recruitment is absolutely spot on, pretty much every signing they get suits the way the team plays and andrews sets up from there
we have a very disjointed approach and a more archaic one in moyes having final say on transfers. which pep and klopp don’t/didnt have
i also don’t agree that the chances of going down next season are low. forest, spurs, palace are all down in a scrap this year and you could argue they have better squads and individuals than us, the former two certainly more expensively assembled
i do want us to push on next year, and I’m not averse to a new manager, but i don’t think we can say we’re definitely too good to go down in the coming seasons
in fact, our home form is bad enough to see us relegated, thankfully we’ve put together good form away and those smash and grab wins at united, bournemouth, forest, villa and fulham are precisely why we arent in a scrap this year
