Moyes to Sunderland

[evilwebby]

Amazing how far his stock has fallen since leaving us and his career lurches from one car crash to another.
I would, frankly, like to see him turn it around at Sunderland for their club's sake more than anything else, but can't really see it happening. He instills into his players an inferiority complex mentality that turns them into negative pessimists who are more afraid of making mistakes than playing good football. There are good times to invoke the underdog spirit, but that is not 2 matches into the season.

But 3 go down. They look awful.

Yes, but they always do look like that at the start of every season and their problems (Djiobodji for instance) are fixable; they could easily have got something from today had Stevie P not missed that sitter, could have got something vs City but for a mistake, and were unlucky not to win against Southampton.

I thought they looked a lot more solid however that defender they bought from Chelsea looks woeful. Moyes has a job improving him.

Moyes has made no impression on Sunderland whatsoever. I would have thought Sunderland would have expected some sort of bounce. Can't see them sacking him just yet as I don't see who else could do better. If Pulis parts company with West Brom or Bilic gets the road from West Ham Moyes may start to feel uneasy.

I don't know how anyone can blame Moyes for what's going on at Sunderland. He might be playing a part in it but I'd like to know just what we're people expecting? They've been beyond garbage for years now, they have little purple patches towards the end of every season which generally prove enough to keep them up. How exactly was Moyes supposed to turn around nearly ten years of mismanagement after a single transfer window and five games? No decent manager would touch them with a s##ty stick anymore precisely because of these type of knee-jerk reactions. Lets say Sunderland sack him, who do they go for then? Name a manager at their level who HASN'T been Sunderland manager in recent years? At some point their going to have to pick a manager and stick with him, because this cycle of sacking and staying up via great escapes is all down to luck and it will run out eventually.

And that's why he won't be the first manager sacked.

He should think about becoming a manager of a top class international side like Belgium, clearly their taking any old crap these days.

No team of that quality is coming calling for that no mark.

That post has nothing to do with why he won't be the first manager sacked, as anyone who watched Palace 4 Stoke 0 could tell you.

I would of agreed with you until El Fraudo got the Belgium job and proved that their standard's are laughably low.

That's the reason he won't be sacked first.

Hughes won't be sacked either. He has changed Stoke's style of play while getting their two best league finishes and attracted a very good squad plus they started slowly last season so the owners will know it will turn around. Once he gets Bony firing they will be fine.

However if they go out of the cup and lose to West Brom then I will probably change my mind.

We're five games in. It's a bit too early to be able to judge who is going to get sacked but I think Bilic will be the first to go. I just have a feeling he won't be able to handle it when things start going wrong and will have a huge falling out with the players. The man looks a bit of a nutter.

Still think he will get it right soon, apart from against us last Monday, Sunderland have been close this season, Spurs didnt exactly blow them away, neither did City or Southampton. Stoke on the other hand are a total disaster.

I think moyes might get sack first mate.

Maybe, Hughes has a better win % then they have had for a long time so he might have bought himself some time, affer the backing of sorts Moyes has had recently they cant be dumb enough to pull the trigger too soon.
West Ham are a real mess thou, Bilic might even walk away or get the sack before either of them.
