2025/26 David Moyes

[AaronTheBlue]

It's depressing knowing that we are going to waste another season for a false sense of security and faux stability to keep a dinosaur of a manger and his little group of media friends and ex players happy.

Whilst ticket prices continue to increase and we start to make it harder and harder for the working class fans attend the game.

All the while, we regardless who we bring in will see the same old safety first, knife to a gunfight, experience comes first boring football with no real aim of ambition or challenging anything, whilst fans of far smaller clubs will be going on European nights.

Utterly depressing and stagnant.

There’s ambition and then there’s being rash. Modern football fans would have forced out Bill Shankly after just first team ran out of steam.

You do realise that there was a clamour to sack Shankly when he failed to deliver promotion from the second division a couple of times by missing out at the death.

I think it was led by the Chairman of their Shareholders Association.

….the points gap between us and Bournemouth remains the same, which given our starting point, mixed transfer window and how our season tailed off is certainly progress

Lol. Benchmarking ourselves by how far behind Bournemouth we are. How we have fallen and continue to fall.

No, no, we arrested the decline with them. Strong and stable. Like when Theresa May led the Blues...

 

[hallamblue]

you have to be taking the mick, Moyes compared to Bill Shankly, he's barely above Roy Hodgson

He's below Roy Hodgson, who did a good job in several countries and managed his national team, not to mention speaking 5 or 6 languages, which is more than Moyes can count to in Spanish .

It's mad to me some of the arguments the apologists for failure make. I mean, we're no further behind Bournemouth than last year! Followed by "that's certainly progress"! Goodness gracious, who is he trying to convince? Himself, I assume.

….well that's the reality of the situation this regime inherited. Not long ago we had to beat them to stay up.

They had a glorious season, we didn’t but the gap between the teams remained the same. They get the plaudits for drawing against City to win Arsenal the league, we did the same a few games earlier in a poor run of form.

Decent benchmark for next season.

Pathetic lack of ambition. Sunderland finished above us this season, why not make them next years benchmark? A newly promoted team who finished above us immediately.

Yeah, we all know how this plays out.

A summer of struggling to sign players because of the World Cup

A poor pre season with the team struggling to score

The traditional slow start that Moyes always makes

Team in the bottom 6 and the manager sacked by Christmas.

….they did brilliantly, fantastic transfer window. They’ll be a good benchmark too.

Don’t get this ‘lack of ambition’ tag, except it’s a throwaway line everybody likes. Getting ahead of Bournemouth could mean Europe or even Champions League. You can throw a blanket over a number of teams in this league.

This is the nightmare scenario because we'll end up with another limited firefighter manager for eighteen months to three years and just repeat the same silly cycle we've been stuck in for so many years. Bin him off now and offer Glasner a juicy contract.

Not spending in January when we had a chance of a really high finish. Then allowing an underperforming manager to go into the last year of a contract. And the CEO comes out with ridiculous comments, essentially patting themselves on the back, as the season was falling apart.

Those are all clear examples of a lack of ambition or standards.

Sunderland are now a good benchmark for "progress". I don't think you know what the word progress means. It doesn't mean staying in exactly the same spot in the league on the exact same points playing the exact same dirgeball with the exact same players, you know? That's literally the opposite of progress. So to parrot your non-sequitur, I don't get this "progress" tag.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Other teams have ambition, we don’t.

Go and get Glasner now.
