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

I can't believe I just read this, is this an actual quote?:

I have a great win record at nearly all the clubs I have been at. This is the only anomaly where it hasn't happened.

Like how can he be so delusional?

I remember him being shit with Manchester United and also being as inept in Real Sociedad where he was just clueless and while I haven't seen Sunderland nor care much about what he did with Everton; but I would guess he wasn't nothing extraordinary to brag about let alone having the nerve to say something like this. What a clown. :lol:
 
David Moyes is no longer the manager of Manchester United. We look back at some of the unenviable records achieved during tenure
David Moyes will leave Old Trafford with plenty of records to his name, however there are very, very few that he would want to have. Below are some of the stand out statistics that show where it all went wrong for the former Manchester United boss:

  • West Brom win at Old Trafford (pic below) for the first time since 1978. Not one of the West Brom squad was born when they last won here.
  • Everton win at Old Trafford for the first time in 21 years by a score of 1-0 with a goal from Brian Oviedo. They then went on to complete the double over United by winning at Goodison Park. It's the first league double over United for Everton since 1970.
  • Newcastle United are having a wretched season, but they managed their first win at Old Trafford in 41 years by beating United 1-0 with a goal from Yohan Cabaye.
  • Swansea secured their first ever win at Old Trafford by beating United in the FA Cup 3rd Round, and thus sent them out at the first hurdle for only the second time in 30 years.
  • Following the first leg defeat to Sunderland in the Capital One Cup semi-final, it became the first time that United had lost three matches in the month of January for over 30 years.
  • Stoke City beat United in a league match for the first time in 30 years.
  • The first leg defeat to Olympiacos in the Champions League was their first defeat ever to Greek opposition.
  • After 34 matches, United have a total of 57 points which is 27 points fewer than this stage last season. They also suffered more defeats at home this season (with six defeats) than in the previous three seasons combined, where they only lost five.

Anyone got anymore unwanted records Moyes achieved with us and his other teams?
 
Those are some impressive negative records.

I don't like to gloat in someone elses failure. It really isn't like me, but this brought a strange feeling of satisfaction:

The great thing is at the rate he was going if Woody and the board didn't act quickly and sack him that screenshot could have simply said Manchester United instead of Sunderland

Looks like the Moyes PR brigade have leapt into action.



Some whoppers in there the usual Dave guff as you'd expect about his win record and him pointing out two games into the season that once again a squad he is managing isn't good enough.

But i think the best bit has to be the part about him having to shop in the bargain basement. Of course that completely ignores that he actually spent more than any other Sunderland manager in history. He dithered all summer spent the bulk of the money on a load of shite, then panicked and signed a load more shite on free transfers.

How many other no mark managers get a full page excuse piece when they are relegated?

Not many I would think.

Actually good managers have been relegated and don't even get two lines.

Not many i would wager, it's bizarre how the british press cover Moyes. The level of protection and favourable coverage he receives you would think he was a member of the royal family or something. It wasn't just on Sky Sports either, that article was copied virtually verbatim across a load of other papers and sites.
 
He isn't a manager who can set his team or or inspire a team to take the initiative to win enough matches to dominate a division. I'd be surprised he has any kind of remotely positive outlook on anything for that matter.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

Makes me wonder what those Everton teams could have accomplished with a real manager. His squads there weren't half bad.

He did as well as can be expected with pretty uninspiring squads. The likes of Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert were regulars for him for years. Everton's squad is far superior now and they're still in basically the same position they were for the majority of Moyes' tenure.

I hate to defend Moyes because I think the guy's a total fraud but I don't think there's too much to criticize about his results with Everton.

I don't think it's that much about criticism of his ' achievements' at Everton, although they are somewhat debateable. More that he never moved on from them. When you consider the teams who changed their managers multiple times whilst he was there, Spurs, Chelsea particularly, and he was never even considered for the jobs.

As soon as he was taken out of his comfort zone, the real manager came out.

This is the main reason I never, ever, wanted him at United. My worst nightmare became reality.
 
Ill miss this thread next season. Regardless of how we were doing it has been great fun coming in here after every Sunderland game to see what nonsense the buffoon is peddling now.
 
"You always look back and I would always look first at myself to see what I could have done differently. There are some bits along the journey where you would say, 'Maybe I shouldn't have done that or done this', but ultimately they're not the reasons why we are in the position we are in."

So he basically absolves himself of any blame for their relegation. Unbelievable.

Edit: What am I talking about! it's not unbelievable at all.

He thinks he is a great manager and deserves to be working at the top. He himself said after United spell that he had proven he is a Champions League manager. Only Moyes could come to such conclusion after what happened here.

But unless you are forgetting he valiantly and single handedly dragged United to the quarter finals of the competition. But no further his managerial prowess could only do so much and the players failed him. Those players didn't deserve to be managed by the Moyes, i don't know if any players deserve that honour.

Still remember Moyes' 'I got us into quarterfinals' quote after van Persie bailed him out against Olympiakos :lol:
 
He wasn't a bad manager at Everton but that was his ceiling. The United job broke him. He found out the hard way how far from a top manager he really is. Unfortunately he dragged us down with him.

They had to act. These guys are looking at a 46-game league season with him in charge.
 
I bet Sunderland will be devastated by this news.
 
As bad as he is/was, what position in the PL did he leave us in and what round of the CL did we get to (pre £300m spend!)? Did he damage the squad during his year here, possibly (especially the defence but they were on their last legs) probably the biggest damage he did was giving rooney a huge contract but rooney did go onto have a good season.

As we've found out it's a tougher job than any of us even thought and nothing suggests that Jose would have done any better had he taken the reins straight after saf.

The good news for Jose is the expectations have been massively lowered and he won't get the chop. So with hindsight was it such a stupid move to put someone like Moyes in charge straight after saf?

I don't know, I think Moyes right from the start ( 2nd presser, if I remember ), began to lower expectations on himself by talking about the team potentially going on protracted losing runs; his 6 year, project-like contract; his "consideration" of not being hurried in the transfer market, and the fact that it might take him more that 6 months to get to know his players. I can't recall a time when, as a fan, my expectations were lower. Maybe one issue that future managers had to deal with, as a consequence of his dour and largely apathetic attitude, was a loss of morale through the entire squad and a real erosion of confidence in the first team which may have deeply hindered the work of subsequent managers coming in to get the club back on track.

You get what I'm saying though, don't put the man in the job you actually want straight after Saf.

Nonsense. He would have inherited a title winning team with winners mentality instead of a broken down team that were not competitive in the major two competitions for three years running. We should have gone for the best manager available and Moyes was not anywhere near being one.

And how do we know that Moyes didnt put a large sum of money on it?

I read that hes thinking of walking because hes lost the dressing room... If he walks he wont get that big pay cheque... #justsayin'
 
We don't care if he's innocent - charge him anyway.
