NUFCDoog Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Just had a peak on their forum to see their reaction to Moyes...they had a 4 page thread on Gamez being sent off and a 3 page thread of them making up lies about 'mags at the airshow watch'. Bloke in his forties was there in a full kit apparently. Must be true obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Actually think this is a great appointment for Sunderland and if they actually give him time, he'll not have them creeping about relegation every year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I had been hoping that they would hire someone more crap than Moyes. I think he will do well for them - lower mid table but perhaps free of the relegation zone. Still wouldn't choose Moyes over Rafa though, so I think we are better set.

They're so desperate for people to hate us and for them to be loved that they make stories up about us. 99% of them not even remotely believable.

TRon Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Not sure how 'safe' he is really after his last two jobs. He absolutely needs this to count otherwise he'll struggle trying to stand out from the other PFMs He knows how to get by in the premier league, Man U was far too big for him, and he was never going to be able to translate his English football style abroad. Sunderland is perfect for him, low expectations where he can build a workmanlike side which will dig out enough results to stay clear of relegation every season.

midds Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 As much as I'd rather not say it, they'll be fine for the foreseeable. He's perfectly competent and will have them safe every year by March. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 They will never now finish below the top ten, but they won't do much better. He is cut from the same cloth as MON, Bruce, Big Sam et al. In Rafa we have the real deal. For them, though, he is as good as it gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Rafa we have the real deal. For them, though, he is as good as it gets. This is make or break for Moyes, similar to McClown IMO. A few bad results early on and he'll be on the brink. Just don't see him doing anything decent, at best mid-table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Mid-table would be fantastic for them. If he can get them to 14-15th every season it will be considered a massive success. Shows how low his stock has fallen though, that he's happy to take any old job in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 They will never now finish below the top ten, Eh? Never? They've done it 3 times since the Cretaceous period man! How did your last job go Mr Moyes? F*cked it up, got sacked. And the one before that? F*cked it up, got sacked. And your trophy record....? What? I'm here to coast into 17th and be carried shoulder-high for doing so. In that case.....Welcome to Sunderland! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Mackems at work aren't impressed by this like but I actually think he'll do canny for them. They're all gutted about us having Rafa though. They hate the fact that they're irrelevant and we're a bigger talking point despite being a division below... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Think it will be 12th - 15th for 2 or 3 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I liked Moyes a lot while he was at Everton. Although consistently rigid, his tactics and game plan often exploited the opposition's weaknesses. At the time I rated him as one of the best in England. Succeeding Ferguson would be a challenge for any manager but Moyes failed spectacularly at Man U. Might be wrong but I think he persisted with the same everton deep counter-attacking 4-2-3-1 from day one until he got sacked. He wasted half the budget on Fellaini, who he couldn't even fit into his tactic. He isolated influential players and staff very quickly and it was obvious the players played without any confidence. By all accounts his tenure at Sociedad was even worse. Once again Moyes didn't even attempt to change his ways in order to succeed. Can't find the link but there was a particularly scathing article from an English journalist(?) living in San Sebastian. I remember that he was on Goals on Sunday a couple of days after getting sacked. Laughing about it, denying that he failed in any way backed by impeccable LMA bullshit repertoire and the two clowns in the studio. He might be a good fit for the mackems. Even remote competitiveness will grant him legendary status there. On RTG, they are still idolising Allardyce and trying to convince themselves that he's their friend. Nevermind f***ing off the whole pre-season, leaving before the end of his last game and not saying a word about Sunderland since then. Like Allardyce, Moyes probably sees the mackems as a way to get back into the PL spotlight and eventually an easy opportunity to claim his 3-year wages for several months' work.
