Highlight of the day was seeing him in that little box and thinking about the good times we had and how we miss those days. Maybe one day we can get back to where had had us.
And this statement is proof of why we will never go anywhere.
Moyes improved us at first but let's not pretend they were halcyon days. If we'd have had any money or an ounce of ambition,
Moyes would have been punted long before his 11 years were up.
People throw up the uncertainty that has followed as proof that Moyes was the man. Yet he took years of yoyoing positions to stabilise us and is remembered for getting us to 4th with a paltry 61 points and a negative goal difference; whilst still an achievement how many other seasons would that have even got us in the top 6? Whilst I am no fan of Moyes even I was surprised at how few wins and how many poor results we actually got during his 'good seasons' when I recently looked back at our points total and results season on season.
Everyone sites Martinez as being a charlatan when, if you take his end performance into account they were no worse than Moyes really over his first three seasons. The issue is that since the turn of the millennium, we have never really had a manager worthy of this club. When you think of Smith, Moyes, Martinez, Koeman and Allardyce how do you not shudder? Of those, yes Moyes stabilised the club and Martinez at least showed some ambition and tried to play better football. The fact that that is all we can say about our managerial 'talent' down the years speaks volumes.
Silva may not be the answer, and this season comes with several concerns, but many of these have been problems for a long time. We should support him for now and a see what happens. But even if you are not happy, for God's sake stop lauding David Moyes will you?!!!
