He's done well since he left here. Destroyed three football clubs and threatened to belt women around.
Cant wait for the tv movie of wor Davy's life.

"There is a place in Sunderland called the Stadium of Light. This place, like most, has an entrance and in that entrance is a magnificent work of art in a gilded, golden frame. Polished marble floors and elegant walls lend it light, individual pieces of carved ivory hold the names of the players – it's a thing of beauty and if you haven't seen it I advise you to steal a glimpse on your next trip. "Sunderland v Aston Villa 1895". It was commissioned by the club and is one of the oldest football paintings in the world, depending on the context. It virtually screams success and, for me, is one of the proudest symbols of our club's heritage.
What a lie those men have made that today. What a shameful vigil to have to hold, to be watching these actors - Ellis Short, David Moyes, the lot - as they walk in to that place and lay claim to something they don't deserve. There's a belief: that one can never really "own" art – it belongs to the observer no matter where it lies, a gift from the artist to the world. That is what Sunderland is to me – it belongs to the world.
I look now at the aftermath of a miserable change in fortunes and I feel like the biggest fool, when a line of men in masquerade have promised the world and delivered nothing but dirt. I look at that miserable, passive-aggressive imposter standing on the touchline and it makes me want to retch. I see a squad of old men with no heart and little boys with no spine. Men with less talent, less money and less privilege have worn that jersey and made you feel like the crest was emblazoned on the chest of a [Poor language removed] superhero but David Moyes and his red and white weaklings have spat on that and that spit was about the best bit of dribbling any of them can lay claim to this season.
But David Moyes is sitting pretty. There is no precedent for this level of protection by the owner of a football club. The divine right of Kings gave a man less job security. God himself could not displace David Moyes right now, all the plagues of Egypt would be as nought to this interloper.
It's been said and it will be repeated: if David Moyes has even an ounce of respect he will walk away now and spare us the foreboding of a future under him. I want to look forward to seeing a proud team running on to the pitch in the red and white, regardless of what league we're in. I want to be able to hope that our manager will have a plan that isn't shrugging his shoulders and lamenting the invisible force that prevents him from doing anything right."

I think we need a thread where all those who were yearning for Moyes to return this time last year, are forced to apologise and admit the unfortunate error of their ways.
Forgiveness is available but only through true and sincere confession and repentance can it be received. Then the forum can move forward a better place, free from the stench of putrid Scottish defeatism.

Quite funny that Short said that Moyes was first choice for ages, yet all the 2nd/3rd/8th choices etc. kept on keeping them up season after season. At this point he is best off doing a Reginald Perrin and disappearing for a while.

He will dissappear, right up his own backside.
