I never doubted Moyes either.
I did, however, think most of the blame lay with Kenwright when things weren't going well that season, so I was wrong in a different way! I kind of thought the Rooney money would pay off debt and not much of it would come back to the team.
So my apologies go to Bill! My reasons for never doubting Moyes are:
1 - Fergie wanted him as a number two, he turned the position down for us. Can't think of much higher praise than Fergie wanting him.
2 - Who else was there, at the time, who was any better? I can't remember any of the names bandied about, but none of them ever made me think it was any improvement.
