2025/26 David Moyes

[jackyboy]

He was fine as an interim like Ranieri was at Roma but to keep him next season is negligence

It never sat well with me how he left us, don't doubt he done a decent job from last Jan until the end of the season but that should have been it. We owe him nothing.

I just recognise there is a process a team has to go through to build towards success.

We've gone through the stability process. We've got some decent players and some decent youth which needs to be nurtured

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

We need to look at Brentford and Bournemouth as a model in the next steps of our progression.

That club media guy who does the interviews with Moyes annoys me nearly as much as Moyes does. He can’t do enough to feed lines with excuses and platitudes.
Then when he asks Moyes about the positive impact of Armstrong and George, Moyes has to caveat his praise by saying spurs were dropping off by that point so it was easier for him.
Just get him out.

He completely undermined Aznou too for showing him up in that cup game.
Dibling must hate him

 

[pedro789]

He's the worst type of manager (I mean generally, not just football).

Never takes responsibility and always looking to deflect/make excuses.

If he came out and said 'not good enough, should be planning for Europe next season, last few weeks my fault' - I'd think a lot more of him.

The sign of a good manager (in any profession) is taking responsibility, even if it's not totally down to them.

He never does.

What’s that process then and how long does it take? Just so I can educate the Sunderland fans

He ran round like a rescue dog that had been let off its lead for the 1st time, chasing a ball but not knowing why

That’s a useful quality.

If DM had shown an once of ambition in these final 7 games of season I’d have been reasonably happy to stick with him for a bit longer but we have shown absolutely nothing…just same old same old…if I was a young exciting player I’d run a mile from this club currently!

This. Once we were safe which was the priority, the mentality should have shifted and we should have shown more intent and ambition.

'Didnt think it was a great performance...we need more players'

He doesn't use a bench and picks his favourites

These comments are a nonsense.

Has he taken any accountability for our appalling end to the season ?

They get their managers poached
That won't be happening to us

If you are serious you have a three year progression plan and look to get better every season.

I also still strongly believe that he should have been fired after the Wolves cup tie if the club hierarchy had any standards.

The rest of the season is what happens when you accept the unacceptable

48 points last season, 49 this. Exactly the same position in the league.

We were 23 points clear of 18th place last season, 14 points clear the season before that. 10 points clear this season.

Talk to me again Angus, just to clarify what you meant by ‘the progress is clear.’ Because I’m really struggling to see it.
