I’m quite sure you mention he could bring us down. We have to mirror the points haul of what Silva achieve in order to be relegated. So if you believe Moyes will have a chance to bring us down is just saying he is as bad as Silva. If so, why even hire him? Sounds like you are willing to celebrate his achievements of promotion over his ability to keep us in this league.
I wrote that we may still go down: problem is, he or whomever gets the job, will have to reorganise on the hoof and with personnel who may not fit the plan. Okay, all managers taking the reins midway through a season are in the same boat, however, in our case, we are currently in the relegation zone and this undermines the players’ confidence, which is like fighting a battle on two fronts.
Conversely, we may stay up; perhaps a new broom might raise morale - at least initially - which might just solve the latter problem at least, so that it’s only half the battle.
But if the worst comes to the worst, getting somebody in now, gives us the best chance of bouncing back after one season, and as we’ve seen,
Moyes is a man who can inspire and get the job done.
