Moyes to Sunderland

Van Gaal not doing much better than Moyes at ManU actually restored a bit of Moyes's reputation, I think. Still mad at him trying to lowball and scold Everton for not selling Baines and he's certainly not winning anything at Sunderland, but he'll move them along a little bit at least.

He may be damaged goods, but Sunderland will be a good club to help rebuild some of the momentum and confidence he had when managing us.

If I am honest with you, I think Mr. Moyes's career here stalled due to the fact he actually lacked confidence.

He seemed to have an inferiority complex and withdrew into a shell when we should have been kicking on.

Most noticeably in the spring of both 2008 and 2013 when we were very well placed and looked favourite to take a CL spot until the negative tactics screwed us over.

Then there were the Wembley losses of 2009 and 2012 when he never even tried to kick on after we went in front.

Probably a good enough fit for Sunderland as survival is the only thing that matters there so grinding out enough one nil victories to reach the forty point mark will be regarded as a splendid season.....especially if he reached that figure with three or four games to spare.

On the other hand I do believe the football landscape has changed considerably in the three years since he left us and it has changed utterly since Moyes's heyday between circa 2004 through 2009 so nor will I be shocked if Sunderland are once again mired in the relegation fight.

I like Sunderland so I hope he improves them :)

I think his ego never came down after being offered Manc job. He apparently turned down Villa who are a great club. Think he was awaiting a big offer that never arrived now he has got desperate.
He is an ok manager but not as good as he thinks.

Think that inferiority complex is part of his style mate rather than something he has developed. It's a small time mentality hence why he has never pushed on beyond the glass ceiling. Said it for years when he was here, it seemed he never fully trusted the team to be better than the opposition. It will hold him back for the rest of his career sadly, we could have done so much better even without money. When push came to shove he held the team back.

Hope he falls on his backside,the tit.
 
Wonder if he'll be In for any of the fringe lads here?
He knows the lads already and what he'll.ger from.them, ams he knows there'll be players on the way out with the new signings coming in, maybe the likes of bry permanently and someone like dowell or Davies on loan?
 
Horrible away kit Sunderland have this year.. Pink!!! (or is that Purple/Pink?) - looking like helmets in those colours.

Makes last season's florescent green effort look almost sane by comparison.
 
Charles N’Zogbia has moved closer to earning a contract atSunderland after he was included in the squad for this week’s training camp in France, according to The Northern Echo.

The French midfielder, who is a free agent following the end of his previous deal at Aston Villa, has been given a chance to show his worth to new Sunderland manager David Moyes.


haha he's finally done it! well done david.
