The full interview is on the OS now. It's probably as complete a statement as we're going to get from Moyes about the goings on this summer, and his frustrations. It's good to hear him stand up and say these things and reaffirm his commitment to taking the club forward, and I think it was important that he gave the interview before today's kickoff.
Obviously though words and good intentions are not enough. Moyes is far from upbeat on the question of whether there will be any new signings in the next two weeks - "Bringing in new players may happen in the next few weeks, and we'll know more in the weeks to come where we are as a football club and a group." No easy promises are on offer any more. Moyes is preparing us for the worst. He mentions that he's still trying to bring in quality, but that he may have to drop his standards a little. And the new contract ? It's not dependent on bringing in new players, but that will be a factor. Because at the end of the day coaches stand or fall on results on the field, and you can't win trophies without the squad to do it.
