Now I wasn't Moyes' biggest fan by the end of his tenure, nor was I his biggest detractor. I felt that it was time for him to move on. He'd done all he could and the club (and Moyes) needed a change. So I wished him all the best at Man U.
Being from Belfast, I'm surrounded by Man U fans and kopites. They are everywhere. We don't have the Manchester-Liverpool rivalry here, so Evertonians and Man U fans often find themselves on the same side, having a go at the kopites. So this, plus the fact that they play good football and consistently p*ss the kopites off, has over the years led me to have a strange affection for them (more out of necessity than design I might add).
However, the recent (let's call it) antics of that club have started to change my stance a little. Their blatant tapping up of Moyes over the last year has been disgraceful, and now Moyes' actions in the last few weeks have matched the tone of his new club. Culminating in his comments in this mornings media about how we should let Big wig and Baines go "for the good of their careers" etc.
Now I hope their season implodes.
I was at his last match against Chelsea, and as I said before, I was neither his biggest fan or detractors by the end of his reign. I did clap him at Chelsea through, as I thought he deserved it. I get to between 5 & 10 games a year, and ill be at the Man U game in April. I can't wait to let him know just how I feel about him now.
I'm sure most other Evertonians will too.
