Moyes to Sunderland

preston wont even touch this guy now, if he is still there next season 2nd place is the best sunderland can hope for, i can imagine him getting to the play off final only to be struck with fear having to face Brentford.
 

What I don't get is why didn't Moyes take either his scouting methods or the scouting team he had at us with him? Say what you want about Moyes his scouting team always managed to find cracking players for little outlay. I get at United he was expected to operate on a different level and that the market has changed since those days but there are still equivalent bargains around. I don't get why he went out and bought all ours and United tired old players along with absolute tripe. Not a Cahill, Pienaar, Arteta, Coleman type inspired find anywhere in his time there.

I remember reading this a while ago for anyone who can be bothered to go through it (it's a decent read) and being impressed with the set up. How has he gone from that to whatever he had at Sunderland

Most of his signings with us seemed the basis of patient research, the right approach when you don't have a pot to piss in, and a transfer failure does a lot of damage. At Sunderland he was working on a different timescale.
Not to say his signings there weren't LOL desperate, mind - in for a nailed on relegation fight, why would you ever buy extremely injury-prone players? You need to take risks on players, but as we all know, he's not very good at doing that.
 
Full of himself that fella.
Those Sunderland supporters have been more than patient waiting for that no mark to walk the plank. I doubt it'll last much longer.

He's obviously looking for them to revolt in order to put pressure on Short to pay him off.

FFS, what a calamitous time he's had since leaving Everton. He's in the gutter.

The Energy Vampire, is his handle now.
 
"Well if you ignore that [ever growing] period, he's a good manager"
The usual sorts on the radio constantly declaring how good he is, despite years of evidence to the contrary, imagine him taking over anyone above the level of Bootle FC ffs
