Moyes - should he stay or should he go?

[witchdoc187]

We are in the bottom half of the table and may well drop lower than 11th.

Yeah all the teams in the middle are close. I think that's probably par. I'm just glad we aren't battling relegation tbh. Hopefully we can improve next season

 

[witchdoc187]

Quite funny because we sound just like west ham fans here and looks where they are.

 

[witchdoc187]

Also are there any teams playing super expansive exciting football regularly? I'm not sure there are. Even a large portion of top of the table arsenal fans seem to want rid of their manager. It's a strange game these days

We are about right for the team we have to many not up to standards if we want to go upwards.

Any team with Barry up front alone is going to struggle tbf

It's not the same situation. West Ham went bad because of bad recruitment and poor managerial appointments. It doesn't automatically mean we'll have the same fate as we might make the right managerial appointment who aligns better than Moyes does with our recruitment team

Lots of variables to get things right. Also what are people expecting from us? Top4? Only 2 games ago some genuinely thought we might get champions League. Surely Moyes should take credit for that kind of turnaround considering where we have been recently?

Regarding next season I think the decision was already made this week..

Do you think if Moyes was still manager then Lukaku would still have signed or do you think he only signed because of Bobby?

Moyes has never had great record of signing good centre forwards, so he probably wouldn't have gone near Lukaku.

What decision was that mate?

 

[Swartzy]

What decision was that mate?

Oh just Keane 1 year extension, Why would we do that if their was question marks.
They both leave at the same time this way..

Though none of this is knowledge so it means nothing, but that does look like the answer to the question.

 

[brooklyn blue]

Playing Mcneil is enough of a reason for going.

 

[Drico]

We are supposed to be grateful for the Moyesiah that we are not West Ham. Yet, that self same West Ham have defeated the Moyesiah today.

As mentioned in another thread, he signed Beattie, Johnson and Yakubu, all who were relatively prolific forwards. His man management of them however, I agree, could have been better.

I think the fans want to see a manager who's prepared to be more bolder in team selection, match tactics and general mentality. We know what Moyes brings and his limitations. Some fans want stability and are happy with Moyes risk adverse management which is competent but lacks the extra oomph to go further upwards but stays nice and steady without too much drama. Some fans want us to push beyond this and to have a more entertaining style of football which if done right with a good manager may yield us a trophy or breaking into the European places on a regular basis. It's a case of stick or twist in essence.
