In the words of Neil Warnock, Moyes sent him to Leeds and said to 'give him no responsibility whatsoever'.
Sums up his opinion when it comes to youth players really.
TBF, I'd kind of agree with him there, certainly at the time he said it. Barkley is a great player, we can all see that, but he's a great player going forward. Even at the weekend when he came on, he gave the ball away a few times. He's learning to take responsibility, but he'll learn that at his own pace, naturally, he doesn't need to have his confidence destroyed by forcing it on him.
As for the rest of all this, we are better off without Moyes, not least because of the change in perception of what we can do and how we can play, but a lot of good came from Moyes, and dont forget it. He was right for us at the time he came in, I doubt that Martinez's effect would of been so keenly felt had he of joined us at the time when Moyes did.
He's been an utter cheesy bell whiff since leaving us, but dont let that detract from the fact that even though he probabaly outstayed his welcome by a few years, he put the groundwork in of this team.
Personally, Sheedy should of left this for a more controlled environment, for eg, if asked a direct question during an interview. Wouldnt surpise me though if he never eben knew it was going global, judging by previous tweets, its not as if he's the most ITK on how twitter works.
