I think Moyes is definitely remembered through blue-rose tinted specs just because (a) we're worse than normal right now, (b) West Ham have had a good season-and-a-bit. It's taken Moyes about 8 years to have a good season: disaster at Man Utd, disaster at Sunderland, nothing of note at Sociedad, not exactly amazing stuff at West Ham first time around, and was going the way of non-employabe until West Ham gave him another shot. He did very well taking us from a team at the bottom end of the Prem to best of the rest, but there was a lot of boring, dour football too. Sure, a top 4 finish once in 11 years and a cup final, but also zero trophies and zero wins away at the big teams. Even for every Europa League campaign we qualified for we swiftly crashed out of looking like amateurs at European football. For me, Moyes had hit his ceiling with us and we were really just plodding along as a mid-table team, never winning anything, never challenging for anything (unlike now, where we're a mid-table team, never winning anything, never challenging for anything buuuuut at least have the ambitions of a rich owner).
