Whatever you do, don’t look up Moyes’ net spend in his first spell or the number of key players he had to sell. Also don’t look up how much Bournemouth have spent. I’m saying this for your own sanity.

Me personally.
I think they've come into the club and realised they've touched lucky with having a pragmatist in Moyes who can stabilise the club and keep us mid-table while they all the sort out our legacy financial issues,which still linger.
If you take the emotion out of it and look at it from a point of view of business,a couple of years of stable and steady governance is exactly what the club needed,and with Moyes it allows them to implement this.
But also there will come a time where they'll want to see genuine progress on the field and that starts with next season,and he knows the clock starts now.
I'll personally think next season is his last.
Again same question I asked another one who said it wasn’t
Why ?? What did Moyes do at Everton in an era where 4 teams spent money and teams like Bolton, Blackburn, Middlesbrough were getting in Europe winning trophies. Bolton got to a final. But these were the teams were competing for Europe with from 04 to probably 2010 when city started to get money
Which begs the question why was Iraola ever their first choice in the first place if they wanted a steady pair of hands to stabilise the club. As said, I don’t think they know what they’re doing or know much about football.
I agree.

"Peak" Moyes was probably 2007 to 2009 where we finished 6th, 5th and 5th - there was an established top 4 but he managed to effectively make us the best of the rest consistently with a budget which was about the 12th biggest in the league.
If Iraola finished about where they are now for 3 seasons on the spin, I'd agree with you, but he hasn't. He also hasn't done it while progressing in the cups or managing European campaigns as Moyes did over those 3 years or so.
I'm not trying to diminish what Iraola has done at Bournemouth, there are too many people talking down what he's done, but equally there are too many people talking down what Moyes did here first time around to make it suit their argument.
120 mil apparently.
And I get people will say "why are we giving him that much"
The short answer is you're probably spending that now just to maintain a Mid-Table positions
We won't get much change out of 120 for good full backs and a forward.
I get people don't want him,I get people want him gone,but we are,where we are at this moment.

Makes no sense to me: if Europe is a must to keep his job then why would they hand him (presumably) a new contract and a lot of cash when we could be well off the pace of Europe by next Christmas and the demand will be to get shut of him?
