It's hard for me tbh. Moyes has steadied the ship and it's such a huge relief. I will always give him credit for that. I worry that if we bring someone in who completely changes everything as opposed to building on it. Some on here wanted potter, he played a massive hand in getting West ham relegated. Thomas Frank was terrible at spurs, Chelsea have had a nightmare with their managers the list is endless. In some ways there's some relief in having mid table mediocrity. It's obviously not want I want forever. But thank god we didn't have to worry about relegation this season. I dunno what the answer is. Just glad we didn't have the day west ham and spurs had today.
He steadied the ship immediately after taking over from Dyche, wouldn't try to rewrite history on that but its gone off the rails now this season.
Could justify certain decisions like the contracts and extensions being given to senior players and his reluctance to use the young players in the squad if this season had gone anywhere meaningful. If there was progress in terms of league positition, European qualification, really anything tangible then I could accept those things through gritted teeth. Think he's kind of burned the 'progress' card at this point though tbh.
If we're standing still, personally I don't see that as stability as everyone around us is improving. Palace, Newcastle, Villa all winning their first trophies in years. Bournemouth and Brentford and Brighton qualifying for Europe for the first time. Sunderland ended up getting Europe ahead of us ffs.
If stability just means not almost getting relegated then I think we need to seriously revise the expectations at this club. Football moves fast, opportunities like this season don't come around all the time. Bournemouth's points total to qualify for the champions league is surely one of the lowest ever if not the lowest. That so easily could have been us. For a club like us a fixation on 'stability' is a trap that will end up hurting us, imo. Everyone else is properly going for it.
