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

[TheBigIguana]

Disagree with the wanting safe hands option most evertonians where terrified he would join relegation would of being a real possibility with helmet tits at the gaff

People were saying it. I don't think that's in dispute.

Why would they sack Bruce who’s outperforming Benitez?

I think he's just hoping that Moyes can get a chance to hit the trifecta and take the barcodes down too.

 

[PITA]

But he is a winner.*

*If the definition of being a winner is a 12.5% win rate with a record of P8, W1, D2, L5 since returning to the club. That'll likely be 11% by the end of the evening.

At least with each passing defeat his win percentage is not taking too much of a hit.

Well, I decided to stop for a minute and have a look and unsurprisingly Pellegrini’s win rate in his last nine fixtures was better than the ‘winner’ himself.

Moyes currently has a win rate of 11% whereas he had 22%, although Moyes has less defeats: Moyes P9, W1, D2, L6 compared to P9 W2, D0, L7.

He’s managed to be worse than Pellegrini? Holy guacamole.

In his defence the squad he's inherited are pretty spineless.

People wouldn’t stop banging on about their squad all summer.

You know the drill, name names !

He could manage Real Madrid, and still make them look pedestrian.

Those who know, know.

I suspect they touted Newcastle's incomings as well.

Absolutely no Evertonian I know was saying it and that was from fans who stood, applauded and thanked him at his last match.

 

[COYBL25]

If West Ham get relegated there shall be a list of shame produced, with it’s very own thread.

Newcastle look to be safe, which is shame, as there could’ve been some cross referencing going on lol

The man must look back at about 10 days of his life (sacking all United’s staff and the Baines/Felli stuff) as by far the most idiotic 10 days of his entire life.

He had the pick of almost any player in any league to go and buy , and a solid title winning team behind him assembled by the greatest manager of all time, and he sacked all the staff and went on to tarnish his Everton legacy forever.

I don’t think he would have succeeded at Man United anyway , but if he didn’t do any of that he would have had a better chance and could have come back here with open arms.

You would struggle to name a more idiotic chain events in association football history.

What about the sheer arrogance? He felt he “deserved” his chance at United.

What about the altercation with the fan in the hotel after we won 1-0?

If he hadn’t gone for Baines or fellaini, I genuinely feel the same outcome would have occurred. I feel he felt we were a noose around his neck, and dragging him down towards the end, when in reality it was the other way.

I couldn’t be happier, let’s face it, the fella is basically as classless as Allardyce nowadays... yet he is a “winner”.
