You're likely right - except I am not a "hater". People can dislike the Moyes style, wish for a more entertaining and progressive approach, and still appreciate the man's basic competence.
I'm not saying the Friedkins will remove him in the summer - unless that was the agreement. I think, politically, that removing him is very difficult if he has us where he has us now. The optics won't help them if that's what they want to do. That said, I think a club with serious ambitions has a serious decision to make. Moyes will take you so far. I don't believe it is far enough, but it might well be for the Friedkins (I see no evidence that their plans are bigger than stabilisation, monetisation of the stadium, and flipping). If the man has us in Europe, then I think he'll have earned another year (despite his poor record in developing our expensive young players, which should terrify the owners). I have always said that if a manager gets results, everything else is noise. Being top half but out of Europe doesn't move the dial for me - especially as we will point to the appalling and indefensible home form as the cause of our failure to make it. That's why Moyes is infuriating. He is always very close to achieving something impressive...but he always manages to sabotage himself.
your opinion counts for very little
