The return of David Moyes

[windymiller]

so TFG will keep
him forever?


we are at this point coz of DYCHE DYCHE

We'll keep him until we're at risk of relegation next season or the season after and then we'll appoint another crisis manager because that's what we do. Because we're a meme club now. It used to be the barcodes, now it's us.

Moyes, Royle, Smith and Martinez are the only relevant managers there. You need a few years worth of results to get an idea.

Would you rather they were away games? If so, why?

Losing away is a little more acceptable than in front of the Goodison Dars....

How is Koeman at 40%?

Scarcely remember him winning a game outside of Oumar inspired bedlam

What getting West Ham top 8 and winning a European trophy or are you basing it off Sunderland a decade ago?

Sigh

Having slept on it.

Factoring in our situation of being 16th, and 1-3 points clear of Leicester, Ipswich and Wolves with a game in hand.

Considering the potential PSR headache.

Knowing we can't even go an take the likes of Brentford's manager these days.

Knowing even out of contract managers like Terzić, Mancini, Carsley and even the likes of Southgate wouldn't fancy this squad without some serious recruitment.

Knowing the shortlist isn't going to be appealing because we couldn't get to the summer when it would be.

I'm still desperately disappointed it will be David Moyes.

A lot of fans have spent the season saying this team is a lot better than where it is, so if that's the case, a new manager only has to just not go backwards. Factor in new owners now, a manager that isn't on his way to the gallows and a couple of signings and surely we can do better.

People making out like Moyes is a safe pair of hands, when he joined West Ham in November 2017, he drawn an lost more than he won and West Ham couldn't see the back of him quick enough and he left that summer. When he rejoined them in December 2019, "West Ham finished in 16th place in the Premier League with 39 points, their lowest points tally since 2010–11 when they gained 33 points and finished bottom. Moyes' 19 games in charge produced 20 points, one more than the previous 19 games managed by Manuel Pellegrini" - and Covid saved their arse that season.

He had much a better team win 4 of his last 19 at West Ham, an finish just 4 points above us last season.

Literally not do what Kenwright would've done

I'd say Moyes is far from the best option. He's not an impact manager, as he showed at united/sunderland/sociedad/first two half seasons at west ham. He needs time to get a team going.

Well, no. I haven't.

In response to his perception he's a safe pair of hands short term - I said repeatedly his short record is what's poor. That being his 2 half season stints at West Ham (both very comparable to our situation now), and his single seasons at R.Sociedad, Man Utd and Sunderland.

I also said, as you quoted, if you think he's the right option long term then his results back that up. However, I personally don't want him long term.

Has Moyes still got his gaff outside Preston?

IIRC it had an old chapel in the grounds.

He needs to get in there and start doing a few rosaries and an act of contrition.

Sold it made a few bob on it as well.

 

[MisterJ]

We always wondered what he'd be like with money in the transfer market, hopefully we'll get to find out

Not yet most exciting of appointments, but I get the logic.

Be nice to actually see some wins again

 

[brieverton]

Hope he spent part of today discussing players we need, that's an urgent need and they need to be progressing on that front without delay.

Losing full stop isn’t very helpful at the minute though is it? We lost enough under the former manager. It’s time to start picking up points and wins.

 

[Toffeblues2022]

Tbf we were probably playing our best football under Moyes just as he left.

Some how with better players than we have now lol.

 

[canuckblue]

Maybe we could bring Rhino back to score 26 seconds into his second term.

Apparently Laing O’Rourke are back on site at Bramley Moore to install a glass ceiling to make Davey feel at home.

Would rather bang our head then watch our feet in case we fall.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Remember when Zouma volleyed a cat and Moyes defended him.

Terrible, that.
