I know it's 7th place trophy stuff which gets everyone's panties in a bunch but the fact is there are some teams which spend less, as much, or slightly more than us and every single one of them without exception has not been more consistently successful.
I enjoyed that mate even though I disagree it was solid opinion with hardly any snide or name calling as far as I could see.
I've picked out this bit as what I see the crux of things, your interpretation of success is different to mine our league position is a sort of booby prize to me it says wherever the true competitors are we'll sit just outside.
It justifies everything - the defensive set up, the poor entertainment, the lack of cup success, the "derby" record - it's just doesn't do that for me. IMO
Moyes has reached what I'd expect anyone to do given the Rooney golden egg.
If he'd developed a team of youngsters or unknowns that may have lost games they should have won but had creativity and showed progression with maturity I'd hold a different opinion.
I make no claims for which view carries the majority I just know more fellas who won't go to watch EFC because of the above than lads who go - in fact I don't know anyone who goes now.
