I genuinely think the United job has broken him.
One of the things I liked of Moyes at Everton was his ability to front up and he developed a group of players who matched that determination.
He was out of his depth at Old Trafford and he strikes me now as someone who can't let it go hence shows insecurity often. All these quotes sound like some sort of defence mechanism to avoid admitting his failure.

"quite similar"?? I think that's a quite flattering comparison. It's far worse in my world.
This is the character "Death" from the Supernatural series, he was the one that came to reap your soul and deliver the message upon your demise and death.
Moyes is every bit as inspirational as him.

Imagine Mopes trying to learn Chinese after the learning Spanish debacle.
We can look forward to gems like:
"We need to aspire to be as good as Tianjin Teda"
"We are going to make it difficult for Liaoning Whowin to beat us"
"We put in 70+ crosses, if the players were a bit taller..."
He always came across as relatively humble and devoid of bullshit when he was Everton boss and doing a decent job.
The baffling thing is his arrogance and smugness seems to have increased with each terrible job he does at a different club. It's a rare thing for someones ego to get bigger the more they constantly fail.

- Will I was supposed to take Shan Huanhuan off after 20 minutes, but if I did that everyone would be saying 'what you doing'
I said similar above. It can only be a defence mechanism.
Maybe there was only one road out of Everton too.
That's classic Stockholm Syndrome.
Sunderland are shite - no mistake about it. However, Moyes gives them no chance in fighting the expected relegation. Miserable and about as motivational as Dot Cotton.
As great philosopher Hugh Laurie once said, he's sorrow in a suit.

fecking hell!!
Jesus every time i watch one of his interviews i feel like going and lying down in a dark room. A few posts above has it right sorrow in a suit.
Probably a minority. Most of the posts earlier in the thread seemed to suggest that the majority were against him from the start.
I have gone to a good few games at the Stadium Of Light and I have walked away from there via at least two roads...
this entirely
It's safe to say they won't qualify for CL. That's a shame cause he's a CL calibre manager.
He spent almost £30 million on players and brought in 8 new faces in the summer and Sunderland are worse this year than last year.
In fairness the Sunderland job is a poisoned chalice but who could ever forget - 81 crosses at home to the bottom of the table club Fulham when you have Rooney, Mata, Chicharito and Van Persie up front shows how shockingly unbelievably amazingly out of his depth he was not to mention we couldn't even beat Fulham that day.

Fixed.
Can't deny I take pleasure in his miserable failure. What a complete tool he is.
His transfers are just dreadful. Being at Everton for so long probably stunted his development in this regard (among other things). When you tailor your habits around upper-mid table mediocrity with the aim of occasionally punching for top 4, it eventually engulfs you.
I wonder how he'd have turned out had he leave the blue Scousers around 05 for Spurs or abroad. Probably not that much better but it'd avail him better for the sort of job like Sunderland.

I sometimes wonder how long he would've lasted at Everyon had he never left. He was doing a solid job there, nothing special, but alright. Had they started to become more ambitious, it might've been the end of him regardless. But I also could've seen him stay there for 15 to 20 years in total.
I think the United job also broke him. He's become incredibly insecure since failing mightily with us and I'm pretty sure it's affecting his managing abilities. Knowledge wise, he's most likely a bang average coach, in today's PL probably a bit below. But without any confidence and a very defensive attitude, he only ends up being a very average manager.

Sunderland fans feeling the Moyes after only 35 mins today apparently (as per motd).. I guess the owner won't want to sack him as they've no money, so they will have to endure his relentless dourness for a little while yet
David Moyes is the equivalent of getting socks for Christmas.
Im sorry but I think it's really petty, vindictive and small of people to come on here and criticise Moyes all the time.
It is fun though.

Moyes signed Djilobodji, McNair, Love, Manquilo and N'dong.
All those signings have been shit. All Moyes had to do was get the defence right as Sunderland have a 15 goal striker which the other teams around them don't have.
At the same time?
I joined this forum because of Moyes and what he was doing to MUFC.
Everybody around me kept saying, "give him time". I was thinking, "the more time we give him, the further down he will take us".
This forum was mental therapy, to combat the frustration of nobody agreeing with me that Moyes was not the man.
That link you posted, is basically me, 3 years ago
I completely understand how the OP of that thread feels, but if you keep reading the thread, you will see that virtually every reply is in defence of Moyes.
I still remember Sunderland fans doing the poznan after Aguero scored that late winner to win the league
You're all welcome for David Moyes

There really is something poetic about that.
Ginger Gollum and those Poznan dancing cnuts are made for each other.

I don't think they're defending Moyes per se. Their gripe is mainly with the owner Ellis Short. They seem resigned to their fate but they understand/acknowledge that Moyes came in with a shite team and no money. A bit of realism you might say. That being said, he should be doing better. Even Hull who are arguably in a worse predicament are giving it a go.
£40m is no money?
Um, in this climate yeah...unless you're happy shopping in the bargain bins?
No it isn't. You are allowed to shop outside of the Premier League you know?
If you could spend their £40 for them, who would you get?
