[idunne]

lets face it where going no where under dave moyes if you like floating around mid-table year after year then hes your man 100% like the 11 years he was here last time..i dont want another 11 years like that i want top 6 all the time fighting for everything we will not get that with this out dated manager...

I strongly disagree mate, I think its another season wasted doing nothing, over 20 years he has been in management and won nothing (I dont count that farce conference crap) where you play against sparkys from Bulgaria and plumbers from Latvia for the majority of games.

Have you someone in mind we could get to take over?
If we could get Iraola I wouldn't say no mind

 

[Toffeepot]

that’s it folks! Moyes out is now officially an extreme position!

No. Taking what I said and jumping to a conclusion that I was Moyes in no matter what is the extreme position.
I'm just not freaking out about it either way

Its a European trophy. Would you say no to it?

Intertoto was an European trophy

I would like to beat to real teams rather than farmers teams.

‘Extreme’ really has lost all meaning hasn’t it?

*sorry are the exclamation marks too much? It doesn’t take much to upset people apparently

Jaysus fc, rein it in a bit will ya lad, you'll burst a blood vessel

He would be fantastic.

Ofc
I'd still take it though
Better than the nothing we've had for decades

Call it hyperbole if it helps you calm down

 

[ValBlue]

I seriously worry for you if you think any of that constitutes ‘freaking out’ or bursting a blood vessel. Taking about Moyes in the Moyes thread - who’d have thought!

My apologies for using any potentially hurty words and exclamation marks.

I mean we finished top 6 five times under him last time.

If we want to consistently finish in the top 6, then we need a top 6 budget/revenue. And we are a million miles from that right now.

Of course, I would party like it was 1999 if we won it.

And take the full week off work to go and drink at the final.

Not sure where to put this so I'll put it in the Moyes thread, currently each team in the three distinct mindset groups (regardless of where they are in the league)

A) "we're a big club and we expect to win all the time"

Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, RS, Spurs (for now)

B) "we're a big club that knows what it's like to be relegated so let's try and be as ambitious as possible even if some seasons it doesn't work as well"

Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle, West Ham, Leeds, Forest

C) "we're a small club but lets go at them because no one expects us to win, even if it doesn't work"

Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Fulham, Palace, Burnley, Wolves

We're the only club that sits in the "We're happy to get premier league money because for 35 years we've nearly been relegated and also never had any money", which still lingers in every department of the club, whether that is through the long term players we have (coleman, Keane, etc) or even our media team on socials.

Moyes has done a very good job this season for the most part, but he isn't helping with changing the mindset of the club. It's almost as if the owners went "we're safe now, lets not risk a European campaign until we can afford new players"

Spot on that.

That’s just categorically not what happened though is it?

 

[MondayHater]

Not a major one.

Papa John Conference Charity Shield doesn't count as a major trophy.

Come on.

You can only play what’s in front of you. If we were in it and won it we would love it.

Do we agree with it, maybe not, but it is what it is.
