2025/26 David Moyes


Is it really too much to ask to just have one steadily average bog standard season where we don’t have a complete and utter autumn meltdown leaving us needing to bring a short term firefighter in for a temporary boost in January to scramble us over the line?

To quote my display picture, time is a flat circle.
 

I liked he's interview, shows that we have moved on from relegation battles and I liked Moyes arrogance from the Wolves result, I've moved on from that, lol. Good managers and players need to show arrogance.
Perhaps if we'd won anything in the last 30 years or even been remotely relevant for some of that time we could afford the luxury of arrogance, but to shrug off the cup exit and such a dreadful performance like it's no biggie is the very opposite of good arrogance. If anything, it's embarrassing.
 
Why has he decided to completely ruin all the positive goodwill he'd gained over the last 9 months.

I said on Tuesday I thought his team selection showed an element of arrogance. Nothing that was said today has changed my opinion.
Would it have killed him to say “We really wanted to win that match and in retrospect I might have made too many changes to the starting team to get the start we wanted. However we did learn things from that match and we’re looking forward to a good response in our next game”
 
Personally think good managers aren’t afraid to admit that they have dropped a clanger occasionally.
100%
what harm saying "as a manager I got it wrong, and collectively as a group we didn't perform to the level required. It's a big blow but it will make us stronger as a group" blah blah.
No one is gonna criticize him for that, as opposed to "lalalalala next question please"
 

Very poor interview and absolutely no hint of admitting he made a mistake. Completely out of touch with most supporters
I fully agree with you, but for the sake of playing devils advocate, how often do managers come out and say "yeah think I got that one wrong".

I can accept going out of a cup if we've given it a go, but to be so dismissive of it and then double down is riling.

He's been our best manager for a long time, we mainly finished in euro spots under him.
