Feel sorry for West Ham, Spurs have got the one team at home in the prem that will make zero attempt to win the game. One look at the badge, see sky six, ‘try and get out of here alive lads’
Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle? Their drop off was remarkable and suggests there was more to it than simply the changing of the coaches. The Glazers were happy to sponge money from the team and didn’t invest in upkeep. It actually ended up costing them far more money in the long term.Everyone from that squad: Moyes was gash, tried to change the mentality to being cowards full time
Diehard Moyes FC fans: nah it was everyone else who was wrong, the club itself included, and Moyes was right!!!
Benidorm for 2 weeksGoing nowhere it looks like
2009/10 - 85 Points 2nd (1 point behind Chelsea)It was a miracle borne of RVP going through a season uninjured, a never to be repeated phenomenon. Ferdinand and Vidic were the rock that team was built on and they were past it. Scholes retired again, Giggs was hardly available. It was a period of massive transition. Moyes could have done better, but it’s obvious in retrospect that Man Utd were basically in need of a full rebuild.
They replaced Paul Scholes with Fellaini. They signed Mata in the January in a move of desperation and he didn’t even fit into the team.2009/10 - 85 Points 2nd (1 point behind Chelsea)
2010/11 - 80 Points 1st
2011/12 - 89 Points 2nd (same points as City)
2012/13 - 89 Points 1st
2013/14 - 64 Points 7th
Also, across both windows they had the highest net spend in the league. £65m on Fellaini and Mata.
I remember Rio Ferdinand saying something about the players were laughing at him because of some team talk or tactics
Yeah, it is in the middle - Moyes was crap there, they had a rebuild to do (with more or less infinite pull), he didn't address it - he immediately went for Baines and Fellaini. His plan was to cross the ball in the box at every opportunity, remember them having a very Everton game against Fulham with 80+ crosses and still snatching a draw from the jaws of victory, in classic Moyes fashion.Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle?

He was showing them DVD’s of our defenceI remember Rio Ferdinand saying something about the players were laughing at him because of some team talk or tactics
I am very much fed up of Moyes but Ferdinand has confirmed this didn't happenView attachment 354075
Absolutely fantastic manager, would've still been at utd now if given the time.....
He genuinely thought he could walk into a post-Ferguson United and run it the same way he did Everton, he's so antiquated in his ways and will never change, anyone backing him is just prolonging the inevitable.
AI slop that somehow still has Moyes looking mediocre. In a long lost of mares, this one might be @JobForTheMoyes worst one yet. I keep thinking he's hit bottom but the boy has layers.AI Slop.
How many people have you working for you with all these posts David ?They replaced Paul Scholes with Fellaini. They signed Mata in the January in a move of desperation and he didn’t even fit into the team.
Make no bones about it, their squad fell off a cliff and they had a simply awful summer window. Moyes had lined up Toni Kroos for the summer. Whether that would have been enough to make up for their inadequacies is an open question. They certainly were nowhere near challenging Man City regardless.
