I mean it's been said a lot, but people preferred to repeat "he got sacked cuz he didn't play fancy footie" - he didn't get sacked at all, spent a lot of money, played the same way. Even they're realising they were close to relegation with him, and they were getting spanked 4-5:0 several times in his last season - they barely finished on 40 points, and were right next to us for a long period of time, as we had our worst season ever, only saving themselves by the virtue of all of us being quite crap and him managing a surprise win vs United, considering they were probably banking on the Leeds game in the last round(s). The European trophy obviously papers over those cracks a lot, but it doesn't fix any of them, and he's still the same underneath.
So yeah, based on the above, he didn't get a new contract, but the headpatters come out of the woodworks to say "oooh look at them now, careful what you wish for!!!!!!!1", as if it isn't down to Moyes himself too in huge parts - spending a bunch of money badly or with no returns, being stuck in his old ways and getting only players he likes for the non-tangibles, with no upside for the future, weakens them considerably going forward due to PSR, and now they're getting relegated and have to sell at a loss (likely).
