David Moyes - Taking a knife to a gunfight at West Ham, Part 2

[MikeH72]

Yes I think our expectations were the same as theirs. Best of the rest title.

I’d say their expectations were probably mid table security.

Just posting this here for Moyes content, put it on another thread earlier.
As was pointed out elsewhere, this shows what a good job he did, if I've got my dates right 7 times he was the best manager outside the top 6 elite global giant world wide fanbase sides

Whats this big 6 nonsense? During this time scale only 2 clubs could be classified as big six teams for the duration of this time. Spurs have never won the premier league and Liverpool only won it recently. Man City were in league 1 during some of this time!

I get the point being made but the parameters are all over the place.

Think west ham were more concerned about not being relegated

they had players openly criticising the club on twitter, the fans were the most pessimistic in England

nobody saw them doing anything this season

4 points ahead of the FSG fan club, is right

Is David Moyes a better manager than Jurgen Klopp?

The League Table does not lie.

I hope Ryan Mason gets the England job, best English manager in the league he deserves it.

No mate, Scott Parker is the best English manager ever.

No mate, Scott Parker is the best English manager ever.

But, he lost his last game and is therefore finished in football and most likely a FRAUD to boot.

I remember people complaining when Moyes took Everton into the top 7 consistently, something about a glass ceiling. Of course when he does it at West Ham it’s the greatest achievement of all time

Angry blue fanboy logic:

West Ham on 55 points: "amazing season, Moyes is doing a fantastic job!"

Everton on 52 points: "utter garbage, everyone is crap, Anchelotti has failed and needs to go!"

We were meant to be pushing the top sides after spending a fortune.

West Ham expected to be fighting relegation.

Tbf they’ve spent a fair bit too.

Net spend over the last 3 seasons isn’t a million miles away from us:

163m v 144m

Yeah, but the bulk of that went on Haller and Anderson.

Moyes has had buttons to spend in comparison to Pellegrini, and he has shipped out most of his players.

Look at his midfield duo. Soucek was 18M and Rice was a youth player. Antonio was a Championship signing, Lingard is a loan and Dawson was a couple of million from Watford.

He is the best Thunderbirds puppet lookalike ever.
