Look mate, I've been trying to walk away from this torment for years but I keep coming back for more.
As I said to a few around me today, I love coming over, its just the match I don't like.

They look knackered as soon as they enter the pitch though
I'm waiting for the 'well look at west ham' argument again, some blues love putting us on the level as that tinpot club

I mean they're trying their best to stop you caring, from hiring Benitez to bringing back dour Davey.

This is my take on it and why I feel now is the time for change.
We will go on the same run of results next year with Moyes (I think likely pre Christmas) at which point the club will need to make a stick or twist decision. Stick and we have another year of this purgatory. Twist as should be ambitious for the revenue we have and then you’re looking for a manager in the middle of next season which is challenging for all sorts of reasons e.g. availability, instability, likely compensation.
We have two managers (possibly more on the continent from different league available RIGHT NOW). We can get them in, agree squad and first team needs and agree targets. This is the easier most efficient option. It is therefore time to twist.

The players take responsibility as well mate but, the problem is Moyes is always a reactive manager not a proactive one. We went 1 up today but were gash in that first half, after the first 5/10 mins we were just the same. A proactive manager makes the changes to get us on the front foot looking to get a second and try to put the game to bed, not Moyes though.

Terrible shout that. I'm sure people would be far happier if he just held his hands up and said him and the players haven't been good enough since Chelsea.
They won’t see it as progression, they’ll see it as stabilisation, which is what I should imagine was their goal at the start of the season.
There’ll be no excuses next season though.
Everyone just needs to chillax.
We all know this squad is turbogash despite all the internationals and AFCON winners* etc, all we need is a a bit of patience and allow the Manager to spend another £130m to guarantee our stability.
While the owners are only giving him such paltry sums I doubt anyone could do better.

I get the feeling you might not be entirely impartial.
The biggest reason we missed out on Europe was the manager. Persisting with that back four after what we’ve seen over the last couple of months is sackable on its own.
