He wasnt allowed to form his side, he was forced to make do, meanwhile every other team in the league were spending more money than us window after window, im not denying he struggled to reach the very top and win something, but you act like he didnt go 5 windows without spending a single penny on a player.
he did do that and that came after he spent, before that he did form a team, even when selling players. I mean he swapped one defender for 2 and a creative player! by the time he had no money, as a manager he had stagnated and pretty much running the contract down.
Compare what to Martinez? His highest league finish is 5th, Moyes was 4th, 1 Cup Final and 3 Cup Semi-Finals.
To which you will reply something about 11 years compared to 2 and a bit, hence comparing Moyes and Martinez is a very flawed thing.
Moyes finished 4th in a freak season that won't happen again. After that he didn't come close. compare that to martinez who got the points we needed, but the team who had went out and bought a world class player that season increased the gap, I.e money being the final word.
and moyes did get to semis and a final and capsized each and every time. We were winning the final and did nothing but defend, we didn't attack in the league cup semi, we lost after nit attacking Liverpool after we scored, rather than try to win the game outright and the only semi we did win, had united not even full strength out of choice, and that was a penalty shootout, not a outright win
