The return of David Moyes

[DualityNSNO]

Moyes’ career win percentage is 42.5%. It’s actually a bit of an insult to discuss him in the same breath as Sean Dyche.

Yeah but he's also proven to be a bit garbage with a club in trouble, a-la Sland or Sociedad. If (hopefully not, also) we do get him I hope we don't see those sides of him.

However, "a bright and exciting future" and then hiring David Moyes is a proper gut punch.

Lucky we're such a patient bunch

That’s my concern. I hope he is given the time to be as ruthless with the back office as he was first time round

The issue I have with this is that if we end up going down, Moyes will 100% be forced to leave (rightly so) and it’s many more millions wasted on a pay off. Unless Moyes was the Friedkins number 1 choice all along, I don’t really understand it.

It’s an absolute must that he gets off to a good start with a chunk of the fan base having their doubts about him before he starts.

There will (or should) be a relegation clause in his contract.

Heard it was 18 months, gutted if it’s 2 and a half years.

Feels a bit pointless.

Sky saying (at least) 2 years to be agreed.

I'm for it.

Although I just saw a post (via LeEquip) saying Paulo Fonseca is our priority but would be in the summer. That's a bit odd hasn't he been sacked recently?

Yes, after a patchy start.

The new Milan manager is Sergio Conceicao btw, who was also linked with us

 

[siddharth]

He is undoubtedly inevitable... Now let hope for a cheap RW like maybe Matisse Samoise.

Sky reporting it’s at least 2 years. So propably 2,5.

Feels a bit desperate ,had hoped we had entered a new era instead back to square one

He won't be - we have a DoF (which you disregarded for some reason when talking about Dyche earlier?) and other members of football admin that we didn't have back when he was here.

I hope he's not given time to be as ruthless as he's mediocrity and lack of imagination personified.

Really? - Branthwaite is a perfect example that it is not.

Romain Esse from Millwall could be a rather Cahill-esque kind of move!

Buying from Championship clubs costs too much.
The trick is buying quality from abroad for low price , low wage and selling for large profits.

Like putting on a comfy pair of slippers.

I'm all for it. We need some stable "safe hands". People moaning about "safe hands" I think that's what we need right now.

He was sacked in December by AC Milan after 6 months mate.

You know what you get when you rearrange TFG....GTF.

Always looking for the manager to steady the ship, never looking for a manager to steer the ship forward.

Good that.
