Moyes wins Manager of Year for record third time

[TsarDiniyar]

Zola has been unlucky, if they had grabbed 7th I think he would have fully deserved it. They were awful when he took over. Otherwise cant really think of any worthy candidates, Hodgson aside.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Well done Moysie. Thoroughly deserved.

 

[jacobite]

is right, well Davey lad

 

[toffeestillidie]

amazing that he's won it more times than fergie, well deserved tho imo

 

[TX Bill]

He had it coming after how he guided us through a poor summer, poor start, and poor luck with injuries.

Well deserved. Not only for the results but for the mark he's left on Everton - the posted quote from Joleon in another thread sums it up.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Great news. Delighted for David Moyes. Won't harm us in convincing potential targets to choose Everton, I guess.

 

[Whitebootman]

Great news. They made the right choice. The best part is in winning for the third time.

 

[Gerard_Francis]

Congratulations to David Moyes, thoroughly deserved.

I was hoping Shearer would have won it, richly deserved in my opinion

The Premier League site is all about Hodgson winning the Barclays Spirit Award - the inaugural winner. But I see it's on Sky Sports News' site.

Moyes won LMA manager of the year, voted by the managers (their PFA player of the year so to speak).
Ferguson won Barclays manager of the year.
Hodgeson won the Barclays Spirit award.

Only manager to win the LMA award 3 times arle Moyesy….cos he's boss like.

From the Mail

How can 'Manager of the Year' Moyes, who has spent £34m on winning only respect, be better than the all-conquering Sir Alex?

The sympathy vote for David Moyes must surely run out soon.
The Everton boss has just become the LMA's manager of the year for the third time, the first to do so, and there is no argument that he has done well to take them to fifth and the FA Cup final.

Scroll down for more

But he surely only gets the votes because he is perceived to have impressed with relatively little money (£34 million plus over the last two seasons).
In a season when Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has won three trophies and could secure an historic fourth it is pretty tough to make a case against him winning.
The fact that he has been the standout boss for so long is not much of an argument either, even if the LMA fobbed him off with a merit award.
There was a strong case for Roy Hodgson too, who transformed Fulham from relegation fodder to qualifiers for Europe without a mountain of money but Moyes has made the most noise about being hard done-by this season - and it has paid off

Obviously a bitter red writing for the Mail there.

Obviously a bitter red writing for the Mail there.

As mentioned, its voted by the managers not a row of pundits or suits. Fergie is expected to clear house and win things (although that World Club cup I wouldn’t even class as a cup). Moyes is just expected to keep the club midtable - not 5th for the 2nd year running and an FA Cup final with 3 key player being wasted at points throughout the season.

Would Fergie be challanging for these trophies is he had Rooney, Ronaldo and Ferdinand out with season long injuries? Don’t think so.

Anyway….where's the waiter in all this? Surely his hard work and scoring a club record amount of points surely adds up to something? LOL. No one likes him to do they? Even if Ming won the league, Moyes would still get LMA manager of the year and he'd whinge again hahah.

The mail seem to forget or don't realise this was decided by the managers and was not a popularity contest. Mail sour grapes IMO.

Well done Davey, a record third time.
