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

Very fortunate the other teams around the bottom were so useless at picking up points, Still not managed to break the 30% win rate in his last 4 roles
 

This seems to be the first job since Everton where he's actually being given time.

Looks like he's got his feet under the table and found his reliable players and is now getting a tune out of limited players like Antonio. This is the first time I've noticed him starting to get the things he got working at Everton bearing fruit elsewhere. Be interesting to see if he starts to see similar results there.

he is doing a half decent job there, more than likely sack him next season knowing those owners.

I think he has a two year contract, means nothing of course but I reckon they'll keep him. He obviously has good connections on the West Ham board to be appointed manager twice and has made a decent fist of it on both occasions.

Everyone hates him because of the United stuff and acrimony following all the transfer nonsense he spouted when trying for Fellaini etc. The United job was possibly too big and he was a poor match for what they needed, but West Ham are similar to when we were battling down the bottom under Walter Smith and Moyes came in.

It was never all bad times with David here, for the first few years he really excelled, 4th in the league in 2005, above Liverpool, was an exceptional achievement. (forget low points totals and all that nonsense) and rarely, even in bad times, did he have us worrying about relegation at the close of a season but mostly top eight.

Moyes is actually a good manager for a struggling club looking to get back up the table

He's manager of basement strugglers West Ham not Real Madrid.

The job he initially did here following Walter Smith seems far more relevant to me
 
Still makes me laugh when he went back to them and he said “it’s like coming home,” clearly a line he hd rehearsed because he thought he was coming back here the weeks beforehand

I suppose it's no different to Michael Keane on signing for Liverpool saying it's the club he always supported as a lad. The problem being he repeated the line at every club he signed for, and there were many. It's all about being liked by the home fans and currying favour with them.


lol

I think you've named the wrong Keane haha
 
Thought they played very well , worse case scenario for moyes is building a great team and expectancy levels go up, biggest bottler the game has seen.

Signed off by finishing above the RS too. While Roberto got a marginal improvement the next season, thanks to Lukaku, we haven't done that since.
