And Moyes has done his job. We should shake his hand and thank him come the summer. Horses for courses. Dyche saved us. Moyes stabilised us. Next manager attracts better players and operates at that higher level. Progress.
This. Apologies if I am blunt and dismissive but I'm fed up of the idiotic narrative that gets served up in relation to Moyes on a daily basis. It's completely counterfactual. He obviously has faults and makes mistakes but the criticism of him is way over the top and from those with a permanent preconceived agenda against him. None of the managers who took charge since Moyes have better records despite most of them having spent significantly more than Moyes. Any evidence which goes against the agenda is dismissed and goal posts are moved.
We're probably not going to win a Cup either without a big helping of luck either. Being good in the Premier League gives you a better chance of competing for a cup than being bad in the Premier League.
Each to their own but league position determines how good a job a manager has done. Do you think Martinez winning the FA cup and getting relegated was a more successful season than managers who kept their club in the premier League? There's no trophy for that. I'd sooner won games week in week out throughout the season. The Martinez 5th season was far better than the Royale cup final win season.
West Ham thought the same. And none of the big names managers we brought in have done a good job. Most people want an unknown hipster.
He had quite a budget this off-season and blew a lot of it on Dibling and Barry who have unanimously been panned so far by the fan base as signings. I put forward my concerns in a rational way and you insinuate I am not rational. Says a lot about your agenda here.
It’s a real shame Moyes left just before the money train arrived. We’d have been much higher and probably would have gotten some silverware.
This is just a foolish argument. Moyes is an expert squad builder and a highly respected coach. Which manager is going to “attract better players?” Playing for Moyes attracted Grealish, so you have a very high bar.
Maybe so, but finishing fourth is just as difficult an achievement, probably more difficult as its results from across an entire season against the best teams in the country.
