I had understood he had never managed a team before in which case i would think his performance is remarkable especially given they sold their last season’s top scorer. Happy to be corrected.

My post wasn't really aimed at you sorry, it just happened to be the most recent comment. I just keep seeing/hearing people go on about it all the time as if he's not actually qualified to be doing the job or he's the most left field appointment anyone's ever made or whatever. As I say, it's a pretty standard background for a manager to be honest, a former top level player who's gone into and then made the step up in his early to mid 40s. I agree that he's done a very good job, I just don't really think the fact he was most recently their set piece coach is particularly relevant.

Why? Two first teamers are going to be hit with a morale blow.
The more I think about it, the more it should be a handshake at the end of the season and a thank you for a job well done with Moyes.
I don't understand the logic of. If we get Europe, he'll bring in better players when we brought in better younger players and he doesn't even give them a sniff of a chance. I'm not even talking about a little bit of a chance. He doesn't even give them a sniff of it. We have players that played for Bayern Munich. We have players that played an entire season for premier League team. We have a player who was close to the best in the team for a game who are just dropped for no reason whatsoever.
During his first tenure there was a large push for "never change a winning team". This tenure is never change his team even if you win or lose. He's a good manager but he's gotten more and more regressive as the years go on.

Honestly silver lining that he wasn't actually involved in the afcon lol

Their U19s would be far more accurate to say but it doesn't suit your point.
He played 15 minutes in the Bundesliga, plus 2 minutes in the CL and 8 in the Club World Cup.
He was deemed not good enough for Bayern Munich. Doesn't mean he's a bad player, but also doesn't mean he's good.

So 25 minutes total he's played for Bayern is more accurate.
Doesn't have the same impact does it?
This. I think this is my main beef with him now.
I wanted him gone in the last few seasons of his first stint just because it all seemed to go a bit stale after the cup final loss.
But I don't remember being confused by his starting XI half the time.
For a part of this season I thought it was down to having a bigger squad but I actually think it's because he's become more set in his ways.
I have to wonder if there's an eye roll from players when they hear they've been linked with a David Moyes side.
It's quite damning to say he played a total of 25 minutes for Bayern before being shipped out. But it's the truth, and is perhaps the reason why Moyes hasn't given him a chance.
People will say he made a difference against Sunderland, but that difference was due to energy rather than defensive ability or discipline. I still have no idea whether he can defend or not.
I mean we can also do exactly what we did in that Sland game and put him on the wing, where it won't matter much if he can defend well - give him 20 min to run against tired legs, build some confidence up, might do him a world of good.
You know, exactly how we did for Coleman.

The thing about playing all the kids at the end of matches...
If they make a mistake and cost us points who is going to catch the blame?
It will get shrugged off for the players because they're youngsters but he won't get the same benefit of the doubt. No, he will be getting slated for making the wrong decision and coating us points with his substitution decisions.
I don't blame him for not rushing to give ammo to his biggest haters who simply won't be pleased with anything he does.
