David Moyes managed to get that squad to 6th place. Martinez is not as good a manager as Moyes, not even close so it's inevitable we will slip places in the table. Some will disagree, so lets just wait and see eh?

Some fans are going to be in for a shock next season. Mainly those that wanted Moyes gone because he was "holding us back".

we'll see exactly how much he was holding us back next season won't we. For all that 6th/7th place trophy bollocks some loved to spout on here, I bet in a year's time that 6th place trophy will look very appealing.

I like the way you say 'let's wait and see' then say exactly what you think is gonna happen! :lol:

Before he came Moyes had never even managed in the premier league. Then in his second full season he had us down in 17th. One summer later after selling all of his best players, he took us to fourth in the premier league. That was in the days of a locked out top 4 nearly all of which had far better sides than they do now. Arsenal were in their post invincible season, Chelsea had brought in Mourinho, Liverpool were en route to winning the Champions League and Man U (well they never seem to go bad do they). My point is this just shows that it is impossible to judge the new manager on what he has done before. All you can achieve by that is to try and minimise the risk (although for that there is a Juande Ramos to any argument). Guardiola, Pereira, AVB, Mourinho - at some point they were all someone elses Alan Stubbs (this is not an endorsement of Stubbs, just using him to make a point). At some point Benitez, Klopp and others were relegating sides. Whoever it is, we need to get behind him and hope for another 04/05 miracle. Despite the crest, things are not nearly as bad now as they were in 03/04.

A lot of people on here said they would rather finish mid table and play great attacking football, rather than be boring and finish 6-7th.

Let's see if they really will be happy with that next year

We played some great attacking football last season!

25 Percent win rate, 70 odd goals shipped, 3 or 4 seasons spent in the drop zone, his explanations for his defeats are comical.

Fkin hell Bill will give him a gold watch for keeping us out of the drop zone.

His total "win" ratio is 29%

Here is what the Geordies think, even they see the comical value.
