Yeah that's true. You've seen how that worked out with Solskjaer at United. New manager bounce gets them the gig and then the shortcomings of the manager appear
That's one game. He had very few food games as a DM. He was too slow for the role in the Premier League. Moyes' endless scouting should have detected that.
I can't believe it's not butter
He also didn't achieve anything, had a fairly negative style of play, created a bottler's culture that still goes on, continually played awful players because the were yes men (Neville, Hibbert etc.), is a one man self-publicity machine, played the same system for years, didn't sign players with pace, created the plucky little Everton tag that still haunts us now, changed media perceptions of us so everyone talks about how amazingly successful he was at Everton (I remember in the 90s and under Walter Smith when we were awful but people still used to talk about how Everton should be competing at the top), only played youngsters when he was forced to, was one of the best payed managers in the world when we had no money, even though all the others in the list were serial winners, was dour in his attitudes and demeanor, generally terrible when given decent money to spend (although very good when he had little money to spend), his teams were terrible at organised pressing - they just ran about and tried hard, focussed too much on crosses into the box, played the low block all the time (which meant we continually used to retreat towards our goal and would often concede late shots from distance), and would rather shut up shop after a lead than going for the jugular, and kept Blue Bill in post for years.
Not how I remember his time at Everton. I thought he played best there. On his best days he was a proper box-to-box midfielder. He was a really hardworking player, too, nearly always covered the most ground on the pitch for us. He was only ever thrown up front out of desperation or necessity.
Yeah their seems to be alot of managers falling into that bracket nowadays. Arsene Wenger as a prime example. 20 years ago he was something of an innovator but simply hasn't been able to evolve into modern football. From an outsiders point of view I thought Moyes had you 'punching above your weight' (no offence intended). Maybe that's tainted somewhat with the failure of his successors since
