Biggest mistake Moyes ever made was taking the Man Utd job. Not sure if Fergie deliberately set him up to fail, but it was a poisoned chalice. Sad thing is, had he hung around until Moshiri we’d probably have ended up a Top Four side ourselves.
Absolutely no chance. He has a ceiling around the 7th placed trophy (6th at a push) and that's fine, but he can't make a side a consistent winner and will always fall back to the "knife to a gunfight" mentality, especially away and in any game that might be even remotely 'big'.

I know he won a pot with WHam, but I had to sadly watch the entire game and it was basically a Dyche set up but with slightly less mindless hoofing. Helped that Rice and Bowen were probably in the hottest form of their careers at the time and Fiorentina were absolutely toothless and kept missing shots/chances. A real throwback to the exact same thing we tried to do against Chelsea in the FA Cup final (and also in any game against the top 4), but with the added twist of long throws whenever possible too.

Can we not make the same "rehire the previous manager" mistake? Moyes was fantastic for us for a long period and genuinely performed near miracles, how about we let it stay like that and remember him for it instead of bringing him back for a 2nd stint, where he won't even be a serious upgrade on the current manager, who is massively turd?
