2025/26 David Moyes

[Eggs]

Laughing at selling our birthright.

Compare and contrast: can you imagine Alex Ferguson laughing whilst recounting the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Florentino Perez and Real Madrid?

Nope, neither can I. That's because it was an imposition on a proud club custodian like Ferguson. Losing Rooney is a joke to Moyes. He saw that as normal... And for Kenwright's Everton, it was. But never forget: Moyes was Kenwright's placeman. In place to manage the decline.

….no matter how he relays the story so many years later will be criticised by some, just as his every word is interpreted now.

The reality with Rooney is that he was always going to leave when he wanted to leave, it wasn’t a case of us pushing him out. I understood that at the time and I loved watching his success at United where he went on to become arguably one of Englands greatest ever footballers.
