cp40 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 did his finishes fluctuate wildly at Everton- Like just surviving one season, followed by top 8 finish and then back down the bottom? seem to remember that was a thing- and that with a far more stable club than the mackems?

Hanshithispantz Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thought he only had 1 really bad season (nearly got them relegated) but the rest were pretty much all top 8? EDIT: finished 17th, 11th and 8th but the rest are top 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Moyes is probably the best level of manager they're capable of attracting, so can't really knock it. I would have taken him if it meant getting rid of Pardew, Carver or McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I like Moyes but if they don't buy he can't shit miracles. They struggle every year because they're poor. Just sticking him in as manager won't make a difference if they don't give him the tools to work with. It'll just be another season of struggle until their luck runs out.

Ketsbaia Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If Moyes can get his mojo back, it might be solid for them. Luckily for them, relegation has virtually picked itself with Hull and Burnley's lack of action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It's a great appointment for them, would be churlish to suggest otherwise. If anyone had said they would go from Fat Sam to Moyes and also has some money from compensation in the bank a year or so a go, they would have been thrilled. He will need time though, he always does, that's my only hope they become inpatient, think for sure it will be another relegation battle for them this year, this appointment does not fix that, if they stay with him and he keeps them up they could break that cycle next year.

Guest reefatoon Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 He will flop like Martin O'neill did. Been decent in the past but been shit the last few years. They will be bbbeeeewwwwwing him by April. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Still not sure on Moyes. Completely failed at Man Utd and Sociedad (where he didn't want to learn at all and stuck to his rigid ways). Can't see him taking them down but then again can't see him finishing anywhere above 13th/14th. As has been said by others, would've been completely underwhelmed if he ended up here after McLaren left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Good appointment for them. Style of play isn't that dissimilar to what went before him. It's hard to say he's a better manager than Allardyce but between the two of them probably the best of the current British bunch. I have a theory about managers or players and certain clubs.. some are just a good fit. That was Everton for Moyes. He should never have left. With each new job his stock is lowering.. and now he finds himself at Sunderland. Probably wondering how it came to this. We can't say the same for Benitez.. we really lucked out there. If his family weren't still living in England, we wouldn't have had a chance signing him. But overall a solid appointment for them, they might even finish top 10 if there's a bit of a post hippo head bounce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I wonder if according to Ready to Groom "The mags are all 'seething' and 'rattled' by this appointment"? Presumably Moyes has always been a massive lads fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 #SAFC boss David Moyes has won the LMA Manager of yr 3 times, Rafa Benitez has never won it Easy to see why #NUFC wanted him before Rafa. The mackems hire a new manager and still cant help themselves but talk about us and make up weird little stories. Joe Kinnear won that once (or three times if you ask him), didn't he?

Raconteur Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I reckon Moyes is a good manager, better than many of the managers we've had in the last decade or so. But the fact is the mackem squad is completely fucking shite. Surely Defoe can't have another miracle year, and without him they're simply terrible. There's probably three worse teams in the Prem, but without investment, they're going to be down there struggling again, whether it's Moyes or Simeone or Guardiola or God himself in the dugout.

Altamullan Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Moyes has the look of a textbook Makem. I reckon there's a definite blond/ginger Steve Cram type which originates there more than other places. Like one of Erik the Red's weaker offspring, where the Norse sense of adventure dribbled down their mother's leg, and they ended-up hanging around the coastal hovels trading and trying to hump young goats.
