Mattoon Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 He's not a bad manager, he's just on a downward spiral and I think a job in a place he's clearly not happy at with a team he clearly doesn't want wasn't the best career choice for him. He looks defeated already, sounds defeated and it's rubbing off on his players. Sunderland could do with sticking with a manager like him for once and give him a chance to build something, even if they go down. Short won't let that happen though, he'll be gone before March, maybe even before Christmas if he doesn't start picking up points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 He was so far down in his seat I couldn't work out whether he was watching the game or exercising his core Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 They could end up with Pardew I so want this to happen and for him to finally take them down, two birds, one stone. The problem with that is that Pardew always has a year or so period where he looks like a world beater, that'll do the trick to keep them up no doubt. What we need them to do is employ another Lawrie McMenemy type manager one that'll rip them completely apart to the point where they get relegated to the third tier like that time.

afar Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Moyes seems past it tbf That's not really based on anything imo. Man United was a poison chalice and everyone could see that they needed a massive overhaul/massively overachieved with the team from the season before. Real Sociedad aren't the sort of team to be pulling up trees in La Liga and even though he didn't do well, it's not unlike them to be in those positions, and he was only given one year in a country speaking another language. You can't just write off his 11 years at Everton because of 2 seasons at other clubs. Whilst I agree with the general sentiment that there's not enough evidence yet to write him off as done, he's made a lot mistakes. Going to the press and telling the world you are in a relegation fight in August, just to get extra funds (you would presume) was stupid and counter productive. The business he did in the window was curious to say the least, it's not like they had no money they spent a fair chunk and brought in what ?? They have one PL quality striker who is about 104 now. He's critcising his players in public, that's a huge indication that the pressure is getting to him. The man is just a dour individual, does not inspire excitement at all and his teams play that way too. His body language was all wrong last night, he just sat back in his chair looking thoroughly disgusted. The clock is ticking I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just write off his 11 years at Everton because of 2 seasons at other clubs. It's a lot different managing a team for years and knowing everything about the club inside out and being in control of everything than it is coming into a new club. Moyes has failed badly in his last two stints coming into a new club and the last time he did well in that scenario was 14 years ago when football was very different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays a functional style, I think he relies a la Pardew on a few individuals with real quality to form the attacking intent of his teams. His methods take time to bed in, he hasn't been given that time at his last two clubs. The two big questions for him is will he be allowed enough time at Sunderland and are his methods still relevant today, not sure this was the right appointment for either party to be honest. Sunderland's squad is about as bad as they come for a PL club and the additions he's made haven't really helped that, I think he would have been better off at a Swansea or Southampton.
