David Moyes | West Ham in talks with him for managerial job

The West Ham regime, Monsters Inc, will probably make him manager next season.
 
I hope he does a season in the Championship as I can see Sunderland struggling and that'll really be his breaking point, but I feel he will jump ship/get pushed this summer. For some unknown reason I bet he still believes he deserves a top 6-8 Premier League team :wenger:


I can see them struggling in the Championship regardless if they keep Moyes or not, as they're skint. If they keep Moyes I can see them really being up against it. There are so many decent teams in the Championship with many progressive managers, basically everything Moyes is not.
 
He's a broken man. At Everton he had a bit of steel about him and his teams at least gave a fight but ever since then he's been a parody. Will never get a top flight job again.

Been like that since we hired him. When you think he's done - he's still landing very good jobs. Should've called him herpes.
 
Just out of curiosity, has there been anyone that's comparable to Moyes getting the United job. I.e. - a total fraud ending up in one the biggest jobs in the world?
Seeing Benitez coach Real was strange

Avram Grant at Chelsea although very different circumstances. I can't think of anything directly comparable. We should just thank Ed Woodward for ignoring the "United Way" chorus and firing him in his first season.

Benitez won the CL, La Liga with Valencia etc. He's miles ahead of Moyes in that sense. Rafa is a decent manager imo.

Aye Avram Grant is probably comparable but at least he got Chelsea within an inch of winning the Champions League.
 
So Short could have binned Moyes off as soon as Allardyce left the England job. The compensation to Moyes would have been out weighed by the money staying in the league. That said the money they'll get from parachute payments will mean they won't be that hard up. They'll need to get shot of a few to get them off the wage bill. Just depends who wants to go and play there. If Moyes stays who would now want to play under him? When Newcastle got relegated last year everyone believed in Benitez which has been the catalyst for this season. Having a brief scan through the comments on "Ready to go" I'm assuming most of the posters are match goers and a large section have no faith in Moyes. Not that David is seemingly arsed.

He won that ages before appointed to manage Real. I agree that it's better than Moyes to United, but still felt strange.
 
Avram Grant and (as much as I love him) Robbie Di Matteo.


Weren't they interim managers, so slightly different. We gave Moyes a six year deal. It's bloody preposterous, thinking about it now.
 
Shellshocked that a good portion of the dieharders and pseudo intellectual posters on this forum looked down upon anyone who dared suggest we appointed an average manager who was way out of his league. But oh he's Bri-ish and for sure cut from the same cloth as Fergie and all that.

Aye after Jose too. Especially, since what happened at Inter after Rafa took over after Jose. Did feel odd now that you mention.
 
I still can't believe we chose him over Mourinho. That one mistake must have cost us around 300m.
 
Both initially given the job as caretakers but then signed long term contracts (shortly before we sacked them!).


Yeah, I can't remember why Grant got a contract but suppose Di Matteo deserved his contract.

I remember being in Italy at that time and it was funny to see the meltdown of inter fans :lol: from being optimistic to hating him in a couple of months.

Aye he was terrible for Inter. Much worse than he was for Real imo.
 
David Moyes is Christina Hendrick's husband and all the teams he's managed are Christina Hendricks, way out of his league. Moyes is a league 2 manager at best.
 
Who was the Newcastle manager a few seasons ago? He was completely woeful. Obviously not the same magnitude but nevertheless, it was a shocking appointment. It wasn't Joe Kaneer. Could have been been his predecessor though.

Alan Shearer? In the 2008/09 season
 
I still can't believe we appointed this fellow as a manager. We were champions, stuff of envy of every rival fan, every one hated our success and wanted to see us fall. We then went and appointed this chap and he gave them just that and more. We failed to strengthen our squad, finished out of top 4, got humiliated again and again, and are still struggling. Think we would have been in a much better position today had we appointed someone competent, like Mourinho.

Should have been sacked by Sunderland months ago. I feel sad to see O'Shea go through this. Don't think he deserves see his team get relegated.
 
Failed three jobs in a row. Significantly fallen short of expectations in all three jobs.

Barely a pundit that will put any blame towards him.

We're not all (football) managerial experts but most people can intuitively detect patterns.
 
Straight down the tunnel at full time like the spineless cowardly twat that he is.

Right i think it's time to reevaluate David Moyes as a manager. Many people myself included have considered him a good manager based on work at Everton, but over the last 4 years he done the following.

Takes over the champions spends more on players in one season than any United manager in history yet drags them down to 7th and out of europe for the first time in like 20+ years.

Takes over Sociedad a team that qualified for the Champions and Europa league the previous two seasons, spent more on players than any Sociedad manager in history and finished 12th and then only wins two games the next season before getting the boot.

Takes over Sunderland a team that has survived in the Premier League for the last few years, spends more in one window than any Sunderland manager in history and yet still gets them relegates. Not only relegated but rock bottom of the table all season with only 5 wins.

So at this point it's safe to say he just isn't a very good football manager, 1 failure you chalk up as bad luck, 2 in a row really bad luck, but 3 in a row is confirmation he's crap.

Hopefully this is the end of David Moyes, enjoy your relegation you absolute wanker.
 
I know, still seemed strange to see the manager who was sacked from Inter and Liverpool manage Real.

Real Madrid go through a lot of coaches though and Benitez has a decent record - maybe not A list but he certainly has some talent.

United, on the other hand, was a club built around a "manager", and they replaced an absolutely ruthless winner (as demonstrated even before he pitched up at United in 1986) with a 50 year old without a trophy to his name. I am probably repeating myself but there is no way United would have appointed a 50 year old foreign manager with an allergy to silverware and who had spent 10 years keeping the likes of Torino or Real Betis in the top 10 of their league. Sentimentality and perverse pride in doing things differently trumped common sense.

1. Not enough time
2. Doesn't speak Spanish
3. No money to work with.

One thing for sure - he's full of excuses.
 
Don't think I've ever seen a career crash so hard and fast before in football

I'm genuinely interested to see if he can bounce back from these last few years, so I hope he stays with them to see what happens

Used to feel quite sorry for him after Utd, but his interviews constantly blaming everyone but himself really has annoyed me a bit
 
Moyes down, Sunderland down. Couldn't get much better :lol: :drool:
 
Sunderland fans.....

Any cheering today Sunderland fans? Didn't think so, back where you belong!

Clocked Moyes making some comment in the papers about how in the summer "everyone" thought he was the best choice, and "No-one" thought otherwise.
Absolutely deluded clown!

He was a disaster at the champions, useless abroad, and has been appalling at Sunderland.

He needs to wait around a bit until Brendan is finished at Celtic and hang about there for a bit. Couldn't fail to be top 2 there

If there's one man who can break the Old Firm stronghold on the SPL, it's David Moyes.
