If Silva is sacked - who could/should we get?

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I know someone who played under Moyes and he always says that this was his great skill as a manager. According to him, the players didn't love him, but they respected him and loved playing for him, because he was straight with you and expected exactly the same things from all his players. He didn't care if you were a 19 year old making your debut, a journeyman pro, or the star of the team, he expected you to put a shift in and follow instructions. If you did, he was happy, if you didn't you heard about it.

*edit* My personal opinion is this is why he failed at United, because their players didn't buy into that mentality and some players thought they were above others. He didn't know how to deal with that and so the whole thing fell apart for him.

My Manc supporting brother - in - law always said his biggest mistake was getting rid of certain backroom staff who he shouldn't have, and trying to change behind the scenes in one swoop.

Think Ian Wright is the best of them by a long shot. Crooks is just a strange, weird bundle of meaningless enthusiasm, of all of them, the strangest. You can't say he got the job because of his colour though. Most of them are beyond explanation.

When not on telly Lawro dresses like a distant Auntie and is preserved in a bungalow in Llandudno. He goes by the name of Sylvia.

Fixed.

The one thing about Moyes was he wouldn't have players going out and not putting in a shift, walking round the pitch, he knew that when players put that blue shirt on they were playing for the fans, and he expected those players to respect that, he was passionate on the line, when decisions went against us he would go on one, and this transferred to the players. Obviously he had his bad points "Knife to a gun fight" etc, but his commitment and passion could never be questioned.

Would I have him back, no, I just think you should never go back. I just wish we could have an ounce of his, and his Everton teams fighting spirit though.

All labeled lazy during the Moyes era, Moyes had the time and the opportunity to get these players out of the club though

On the budget Moyes had to work with.

Makes you wonder on the meagre budget and with those lazy players he had to work with how Moyes had us finishing where we did in the prem.

 

[Gwladys Treat]

He’s not getting anything like the potential out of the players at his disposal.

Mike Bassett could get a tune out of that pool of talent.

Even Bertie Bassett would have them achievingv ALLSORTS of good things.

 

[Tel001]

Wigan in the cup.

Fellaini literally just threw his arms up in the air and gave up after around the hour mark.

Of course he was already mentally gone by then.

Oh and 0-7 vs Arsenal. I would have sacked him before he got to the dressing room but I am a hard taskmaster.

7-0 arsenal was a nothing game as we already had 4th. He said he told the players to go out after the game before and celebrate as we couldn’t go up or down.

what a glorious player he was

 

[argietoffee]

Lawro is like a distant Auntie who is preserved in a bungalow in Llandudno. I think his real name is Sylvia.


class!!

 

[LEONARD]

I'd go for Roberto-Moyes-Koeman.

that picture of pienaar makes me sad la

what a glorious player he was

mark 1 was outstanding. was regularly kick ed off the pitch to try and stop him and hetook it. Hardy wee fella was Stevie P

mark 2 not so much
when I hear comparisons between Pienaar and Bernard, I get an involuntary wrenching response from my gut
