The same guy who crapped his pants for the games after that.

6 points from the last 9 games is absolutely hideous. Track that over a whole season and you get mid 20's.
Yet Davey can't understand our disappointment!

Still livid about Sunderland being below us with 2 games to go when we played them at home and them finishing 7th in the Europa League and us finishing 13th and losing about 15 million in prize money and being 1 place different than last season. His attitude in that final post match was absolutely disgraceful. I think he will be gone in a few days no matter how quiet it seems at the moment. There is no coming back from that imo.
I don't see it for another reason - stability shouldn't mean mediocrity and being happy with 14th, the idea is to have a platform to build. We're not providing that currently, and seeing as he's here for the summer, we'll likely get Bowen, Soucek, Ivan Toney, just to keep the nothingness going - no one comes in and does well with turd players, and we're 100% recruiting a lot of them and persisting with not playing younger players.
The points return has bar 2 seasons
But you don’t just throw 8/9 players in who’ve sat on the bench for the first month of the season, what a surprise that didn’t work, it’s braindead thinking from an outdated manager
That's a bad faith argument. He was criticised for putting out what was quite clearly a second string team, not for freshening things up with a couple of changes. There's a huge difference between the two and failing to acknowledge that is either a total lack of understanding of the game or a deliberate misrepresentation of what happened, you can decide for yourself which one applies to you.

I don't think even it works in context of his contract, given the end to the season amd the lack of faith in the summer signings.
We give him this season and funds in the summer, but unless there is a up tick in form and league position (which will be difficult) then he's likely gone and we have a squad built in his image.
But why would you give him money based on last summer? Another failed transfer window and we bank serious problems for the season after and presumably a new manager.
If there is someone available this summer, we have to be bold in that move.
Yes I listened to a pod yesterday 2 of the guys on there drive me insane with their praise for Moyes one even said, he bought well at West Ham
and had success. Like you said his last season 4 points above Dyche’s Everton, left them with the oldest squad in the league and a minus 15 goal difference. But apparently it was all the DOF and Lopatequie’s fault

How many managers have built a great side from the type of dysfunctional, unbalanced mess he inherited, in just one summer window? We needed new players for all over the pitch, not just RB. Then those required players have to be available, affordable and willing to come in a very competitive market.... especially where 14 other teams had more to spend and mostly had higher value squads already. We got rid of quite a lot of the deadwood and spent just enough to tread water, with mostly bargain basement to mid-level acquisitions and loans. It is always a gamble shopping at that end of the market and largely living off scraps. I think Grealish added something tbh, and if he'd not got injured, possibly would've helped see us over that raised expectation line. Similarly if Branthwaite had managed more games. Wafer thin squad in quality terms.
