Not sure I agree with the "coward" angle. He'd be slated if he had stuck around until they sacked him.
David Moyes | West Ham in talks with him for managerial job

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Not defending him but... if he stays you get people saying "he should do the honourable thing and fall on his sword" and "he won't quit because he won't get a pay off, how pathetic". He resigns "how pathetic, what a coward".
In seriousness, best decision all round for all concerned.
Exactly.
Moyes is said to be absolutely furious at the way he resigned after he found out from Sky Sports News.
He did an average job. I refuse to accept that he "did a great job" or whatever it is some of you believe.
I used to frequent an Everton forum (think it was called Blue Kipper) and they can't stand the bloke and couldn't wait for him to leave. Now compare that to how we think of Sir Alex or Liverpool fans think of Rafa Benitez. Managers that actually won the very big prizes.
Stability?! Everton have been stable under both Martinez and Koeman since Moyes fecked off, who cares?!
Our worst mistake ever, as a football club.
Im a asshole admittedly, but there is zip, zero, zilch feelings of anything but hate for him from me.
Id rather go another round of dilated cardiopyopathy than see him anywhere near United ever again.
Hope this is the last we ever hear of this orc. Back to Mordor with you.
Id also be happy about this.
They can relegate themselves out of the country, and id still feel like they deserve worse.
Moyes should have stayed and siphoned everything out of the club.
Stoke and Watford fans be afraid. Be very afraid.
Not for me mate. El Moyes has made far too much money for being an abject failure and arrogantly passing the blame to other people at multiple jobs for me to have any sympathy for him.
Dangermoyesssss
Well done Sunderland for sticking to their guns, forcing him to resign instead. Its about time that he doesn't get rewarded whenever he fails
Word on the street is that he will be joining Inter Milan or Dortmund
At least he went out with a bang.
Winners of the upside down league 2017.

Word is that he has resigned because he wasn't going to be given money he wanted to rebuild the squad. So there is your spin on the resignation.
Is this street awash with unicorns and capped by rainbow-coloured candy floss clouds that rain Sunny D?
All I can remember from his entire reign as Sunderland manager is consistent moaning.
If he was a sea captain he'd be first to abandon ship.
Guaranteed he's going to spin this as the club and boards failings, not his dour persona 3 games into the season. There was obviously nothing he could do given the way the club is run or the resources made available to him, even SAF would have found it difficult.
If anyone touches him in the Premier League now, they deserve all they get. The worrying thing for Moyes is that I don't think he thinks his stock has fallen as drastically as it has this year. He'll struggle to find work again in the PL.

Biggest coward in the sport.
Absolutely can't stand him.
Absolutely can't stand him.
You just know he will get another PL job.
Imagine if we couldn't sack him, there would still be another 2 years of his 6 year contract left. We'd probably be fighting to stay out of the relegation zone with players like Lescott, Anichebe and Pienaar in the team.
We're in a battle with the water to stay afloat. I dont have good enough crew to help us stay above water. Id like to think the crew were bringing in would help steer the ship to safety, but they will just make us sink, but ill bring them in anyway.
Whenever I think of Moyes my mind always goes to that scene in one of the awful Star Wars prequels where Darth Vader is burning in some lava and Obi Wan Kenobi tearfully screams "but you were supposed to be the chosen one!"
So on top of all of Moyes' bad points, he also makes me think of those films. The cnut.

One of the most insane appointments in the history of top flight football. It still angers me immensely we made such a hideous choice straight after giving it the big un about what we were looking for, and how we'd handled the succession plan perfectly.
What is most irritating, is that Moyes spun it so deviously that seemingly intelligent people actually recited the absolute bullsh!t that Fergie left because he knew it was all going to decline etc, despite him absolutely cruising the league title.
To take that squad to 7th is almost criminal.

Think the owners 'out-bluffed' him. He definitely wanted out but would have liked that compensation.
He lost the players and fans and probably told no funds available, was enough for him to resign in the end.
At least he won't be compensated for failure this time..

Not yet.
Can see him taking on a big champ club, a Wolves, or a Villa or someone.
Failing miserably and moving on again.
Destined to end up at Rangers/Celtic at one time. Naturally guaranteeing they don't win much
All this. Had so many people fooled to my utter amazement. Then again, his press buddies were busy spouting the whole propaganda. At least another set of fans now know first hand what he's really like..
I would bet my house on him turning up in the Scotland job next month.
As if Scottish football has not suffered enough.

Not least because when he started he described the squad as "champions", and was happy to revel in that during the charity shield and 4-1 away win on the first day.
Then slowly it morphed to needing a lot of players to compete for the champions league, then that he'd been left a ropey squad, and downhill from then.
Only signing Bale and Ronaldo combined could have given his shoddy ability a chance I reckon. And even then you wonder.
Really cant see how he can possibly be given a decent job again. Who in their right mind is going to offer him employment? At the very best he will be in the Championship, or Scotland. Absolute waste of space. It beggars belief , still to this day, that when we had one of the most important ever decisions in the history of our club in replacing Sir Alex, we appointed Moyes. How wrong can you be!?!?
Who keeps promoting you feckin idiots is the real question.
Has he been offered the Arsenal job (if Wenger leaves)?
MUFC (sacked in his first season).
Real Sociedad (sacked in his first season)
Sunderland (sacked in his first season)
I'm beginning to sense a pattern here...

He was shite at Everton as well. Achieved absolutely nothing. Our xenophobic media will have us all believe he was great there for some reason
He was LMA manager of the year three times, only onced finished outside the top 11 when he was there compared to once in the decade before he arrived. To come 4th was an impressive achievement especially considering they sold Rooney that summer. Some of his cheaper signings were inspired as well. Everton never win anything no matter who manages them, they're a bunch of bottlers as we see at Anfield every year. Moyes is finished but to say he was shite at Everton is just plainly wrong and has no basis.
He wasn't shite at Everton. He was bang average.
You can change shite to average all you want it doesn't make it right, you have absolutely nothing to back up that statement. Compared to where Everton were before he arrived he did an extremely good job on a shoestring budget whilst having to sell his best players most years.
