2025/26 David Moyes

Certainly players matter. However, he had champions at Manchester United. He crashed and burned.

If Moyes was the manager some imagine him to be, he would have found himself at clubs with big resources more regularly in his career. In the manner of a top F1 driver, the best tend to get the best gigs. He got United, blew it, and was back to relative obscurity. Van Gaal, Mourinho, and Ten Hag also failed there - but all won trophies there too. Moyes won the Charity Shield.

I think he was harshly treated by United - but I never thought he had the skillset for such a job in the first place. His superpower was in spotting unfashionable players and turning them into very good performers. See Tim Cahill or Leighton Baines. That wasn't really the key attribute needed at United.

A good manager. Will do us this season. After that? If our resources expand - along with our horizons - we'll need a different skill set.

I think his main problem at Man Utd was not being able to get the players on board with his methods so any manager who fails that requirement is basically toast
 


…..looks like this fella knows exactly how and when to use his substitutes ;)

Nah, it comes down to players. It always comes down to players. I’m pretty sure no less than Howard Kendall would say the same thing. We were as well run as any club in the league at the time but just lacked the resources to secure that extra bit of talent to push us to a higher level.

What an absolute load of nonsense.
 
Mr Moyes has a very good opportunity in our next match to show that he is a different type of manager to his last stint with us. Will he actually attempt to beat a diminished Man City side or will he revert to type and play to not lose and end up accepting yet another narrow away loss to one of the Sky 6?

Are you predicting a loss away to City Miller?

It's a good shout that, I make them slight favourites.

Apart from the Spurs game their recent home form is actually extremely good. They have a much better team and squad than us so the outcome won’t really be dependent on whether Moyes ‘decides’ to go for it or not, it’s far more based on whether Guardiola ‘decides’ to go for it or not. He has the better team, sub options, and is at home.
 
Some of the shouts and criticisms in here are absolutely ridiculous.

It's almost like nobody gives a crap about where we were as a club (perennial relegation strugglers) last January.

Mr Moyes has absolutely steered the ship in the right direction, and short of that, I'm not really sure what anybody expected him to do when he was brought in to this car crash of a club.

If any serious blue would had been offered comfortable safety last January and then a tilt at the top half this season ,then they'd have bitten your hand off. Lest we forget.

City aren't what they were but, obviously, have a superior squad to us. That being said, they aren't in great form and this is a decent opportunity to try and take something from them. Whether that is how we approach the game is not up to me, it's up to the manager, and how he set up against the RS doesn't fill me with confidence. So, yes, I'm predicting a loss. I hope I'm wrong.
