I was a big moyes fan whilst he was here. I think sometimes you only get a true perspective when someone's gone and things ain't going bad so you can reflect properly.
IMO he's a good manager. His first five years with us were fantastic. I'll be forever greatfull for the mess he cleared up, saved us from possible falling down the leagues (Yes it was that close). He built the club up again, ok in a moyes way, was hardly school of science stuff but it was exactly what we needed at that time. We lost Rooney and then lescott but both times he used the cash to try make us stronger. We lost pienaar and arteta in a period with no money for investment in players and he gave up. That was the point he lost the belief and fire in his belly IMO.
Once he gave up the belief he could get us in the top 4 he should of gone. It's so refreshing seeing RM with all the belief and fire in his belly, but from a greater starting posistion than moyes had. Make no mistake tho...RM is looking like he's a very special manager.
As for moyes at utd, he'll have the fire in his belly and the belief he can win everything. I think he'll do well there and change his football phylosophy. They did him over good style in the summer, it's a poor squad of players past the class 4/5 players. There where tbh I'd expect a team of that quality to be without there main striker.
