The return of David Moyes

[Drico]

We always wondered what Moyes could do if we had money, well we are about to find out.

We saw that at United.

The limit of his ambition was Marouane Fellaini.

 

[lieneverton]

I think we've got a slightly better chance of staying up with Moyes. But that's about it really.

 

[ftk43]

They hate him at United too. Think he's the catalyst to their downfall.

He's our version of Benitez

Somehow it's Moyes' fault and not the fact that SAF decided to retire.

Ferguson won them a PL title with players like Tom Cleverly. He was a one a of a kind manager and no one could have maintained his level of success for them.

They sacked Moyes not even a year into his contract and it's been almost 11 years since.

 

[lieneverton]

We don’t have a squad capable of playing the modern game. We need someone to take what we have, immediately vibe with what we have, and keep us up. Someone to do just a bit better than Dyche. Yes that’s boring, but it’s where we are.

I also probably agree with this view, as depressing as it is.

No. This is how you never improve and end up where we are now. This mindset right here. The same exact crap was said about Dyche. If he had been slightly better at balancing both sides of the ball- even slightly we would not be in this mess. We have dropped way too many easy points because of this mindset

 

[polish]

No way he would take 6 months contract.

 

[CielosGrises]

Moyes did leave Bill Kenwright too - arguably showing the same sort of ambition people on here say we lack.

 

[Neiziro]

We saw that at United.

He tried to sign Toni Kroos as well. Very few United managers since him have shown that sort of ambition

Moyes came in and decimated the staff for his own and alienated senior players who had won stuff. Hindsight is wonderful but it was a terrible decision by him.

He has seasoned now, is probably his last major club job and think he would do well.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

He's not the long term solution, but a stopgap.

Which is what Dyche was

 

[allen]

If the short-term contract thing is legit, I can live with it.

Raniering it for us til summer.

[ToffeeScot]

The Moyes and Carsley rumour would be more appealing to me.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

We can only hope. It is such a lazy appointment and I hope our fans push him out at the end of the summer. Time to move on and work on actually improving our culture here

 

[Toffeeback]

It’s probably the most boring choice we could’ve gone for, but probably a necessary evil, given the hole Dyche has dug us in.

I’m convinced they’d have gone for someone a bit more bold if we could’ve waited until summer, or if we didn’t find ourselves dangerously close to the drop zone.

This absolutely. I have no doubt in my mind Moyes wouldn't be on the list if it was June. But in the position we're in, now, in January - especially if they somehow get him on only a 6 month contract that leaves open their original plans for the summer - who realistically is going to come that's better?

Hire him as a director of football then.

Maybe that's the thought - 6 months manager to keep us up, move upstairs in the summer? Would be interested in that, tbh.
