Am I the only person on here who doesn't hate our ex-manager of 11 years? :Blink:

Christ with a name like "mythbuster" I thought you'd be first in line to nail the charlatan there were so many things wrong about Moyes tenure but the wasted years perhaps as many as 5 or 6 really pissed me off. If only we could have had a Martinez 6 years ago.

The idea of being surprised at his transfer antics once gone baffles me, he never got us never showed any affinity to the club and his methods put 2 fingers up to the clubs tradition with a "f..k you" sneer.

Arrogant, thick as a brick deserves all the stick he gets - can't stand him.

I started vouching for his leaving us after the Reading Cup defeat in 2011. My opinion was met with a huge wave of hostility (i know, right?), often I was demanded to name a realistic replacement, rather than anyone being interested in discussing the limitations of his tactics.

If you spotted that even before 2011 then kudos.

All in all, tho', I don't hate the man. I think he did a really good job for us considering the years before, but he hit his personal glass ceiling probably after the 08/09 season.

Where he really went down in mine (and almost everyone else's) estimation was his talking down of Everton as a second-class club even while he was still manager.


We're over him, that's for sure. And the Man U job may well prove he'll never have it so good as he had it at Everton (like many players who choose to leave us).

You were hardly alone in that though mate, most people were still pro Moyes and reacted like that to anyone questioning him.

I honestly can't pin point the moment I thought moyes was at his ceiling/ I wanted a fresh manager. Think I started to question him in 09/10 wanted him gone around the time jelavic arrived I think. My main reason for not fully jumping on his back was I didn't know a proper successor all good Bobby's got this ;)

aye...Jela's stunning first few months for us bought Moyes another season, really.
 
I think it was because I was so behind him right up until the end that I do still hold such a grudge now. Clapped him off against West Ham, genuinely wished him well, even playing for a premier league rival. He pissed all that goodwill away and then some. If he comes out at some point in the future and genuinely apologies for the way he acted, says the position and status went to his head etc but now he realises he was a bit of a kn*b, I'd be happy to go back to neutral to slightly respecting him. But based on the way he acts, I don't think he will, seems too genuinely full of himself.

I think he'll keep giving interviews with the hint that anything we achieve under Roberto now, he could have done/bettered and I think he'll be saying anyone would have failed at Man U, he should have bee given more time and won't accept he was out of his depth.

As things stand now, I'm still reveling in the fact he's fallen so far from grace and he's now so widely ridiculed.

In what sense? Bill would have never got rid of him.

bought him another season in the eyes of the fans, i meant. I agree Bill was not gonna get rid as he seemed quite happy with the Moyes-ceiling of best-of-the-rest. Bobby's now showing Bill more is possible.
