The ginger one celebrates his five year anniversary this week. The last manager to do that was Howard mark one and before that Catterick.
We all have different view points on it and can be fickle at times. Myself included. A different way to look at it is, when he took over how what would you have realistically wanted us to be achieving at this point. With the resources we had and the squad he inherited I think he has done a decent job. We are at least challenging for a European place, it would be nice to be in the same position next year to avoid the rollercoaster pattern and to show some continuity.
The squad is much, much improved in terms of quality and age. We have potential now and some good, ball playing players throughout the starting 11. We still need additional players to have more of a squad (particularly if Europe is achieved). The improvement of the squad is apparent when you have a look at the players arriving and departing year on year. See this link:

We now have stability at the club and more important, optimism. Rather than the year on year shiteness served up, we now have aspirations for Europe or a Cup Run - ironically an area where Moyes has not delivered as we can't seem to get past two rounds of competition cup football, or even the first round in Europe.
Our training complex is near completion and we are currently looking at building a new stadium. Once again we have optimism (I dont want to get into the Kirkby/city boundary issue) and seem to be building foundations for the future.
Moyes is passionate about the club we love, he has had his ups and downs, but nice one Davie. I, for one, am pleased you are in charge of my club.
To return to a point I made at the start, in five years from now I would like to see us competing in the Champions League realistically and with a cup win or two under our belt.
Where would you live to see us in five years time, realistically though.
As you can tell, Im not much of an article writer but thats what I feel.
Nice one.
