Was he not sacked in his 2nd season at Sociedad?, he was there from November - November 1 day short of 1 year

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.
Hopefully Moyes will now slink off into obscurity, though i doubt it. Sunderland fans must be delighted.
Seems strange to me that he didn't resign during the season when it was obvious he didn't have a clue how to keep Sunderland up, and Sunderland could have got someone in who has a clue. It makes you wonder if he was hanging on in the hope of getting sacked again for another big pay off.

Nah.
They were were one of the opt sides in the 80's and a solid mid-table side in the 90's, sure they had a few bad years before Moyes and he deserves credit for getting them back to mid-table. But it's not like he took a team that was struggling for decades and yo-yoing between divisions and made them a solid PL team. It was Everton for feck sake.
During his time there the likes of Middlesbrough, Wigan and Portsmouth won cups and yet in 26 attempts he didn't win even one. What ever way you spin it thats poor.
I knew it, wasn't difficult to call. He would leave if Sunderland got relegated because he will always see himself above the Championship. That would be fine is he could justify it, but honestly? He probably is that level.
Before he arrived - 15th, 17th, 14th, 13th, 16th and 15th. Everton avoided relegation on goal difference in 1998 and were only out of the relegation zone on goal difference when he arrived. 1996 was their only top half finish in ten years before he joined. That's struggling.
That's pretty unfair, to be honest.
There's a good bit of quality in the Championship. Well beyond Moyes.
Exactly. It's nonsense that he excelled at Everton - our media have to tried to brainwash us with that crap for too long now.
Threw himself on his sword, but missed all major arteries.Explained at post-suicide press conference that the sword wasn't good enough, so the failure wasn't his fault.
He did a good job at Everton between 2002 and 2007.
But he stagnated massively thereafter. Their loss against Wigan in the FA cup quarters of 2013 summed him up.
3-0 at Goodison and completely outplayed.
The fact that Moyes failed to win anything while powerhouses like Blackburn, Swansea,Birmingham, Middlesbrough and Wigan did over that same time period invalidates that theory about Everton not being the type to win trophies.
Coming to MotD next season
"We aspire to be as good as the premiership.."
"Robbie Savage? They tell me he is a good pundit.."
"BBC une..dos... très.. Quattro.."
Probably found himself that Champions League club he deserves.
Well said. His recent failings shouldn't be used to erase the good work he did at Everton. I kind of feel bad for him actually. To think a few years ago he was one of the longest serving managers in the PL. Now he's probably done.
Moyes might have stagnated at Everton but to finish fourth in the league with what was very little money even back then was a real achievement. Everton fans might have been complaining about him towards the end but they're Everton fans, they complain about everything.
He should do the footballing world a favour and resign being a manager fool stop.
Imagine being on a night out with him? He's dreary as feck, he might as well be in black and white.

I'm surprised he's resigned, I thought he'd wait for the compensation when he's sacked after they have a bad start in the Championship. This guy is a complete fraud, he can kiss goodbye to his managerial career because I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to appoint him.
I loves me a bit of Moyes bashing

It's fantastic, really.
This is definitely worth a sweepstake thread.
It's already started, some guy on ssn earlier mentioning their recent record, trouble is most of us knew he'd be shit unlike big Sam for instance.
Damn, beat me to it
Lma award means shit all buddy, how many times did Ferguson win it?Or am I thinking of another award?
I'm no David Moyes fan by any means, but leading Everton to 4th, 6th, 5th, 5th, 8th, 7th, 7th, 6th, doesn't make him a 'complete fraud'.
Modern football has caught up with him, it happens.
Yet Mourinho is apparently rubbish. Why the double standards ?
Waiting for the next doomed and unlucky team that he'll manage.
Well not really mate thats not exactly struggling in my book theres a few mid-table finishes in there, in very few of those seasons was there any real danger of them getting relegated. As i said in the 90's they were a pretty solid mid-table side only in 98/99 and 00/01 did they really struggle. And to be fair i said Moyes deserves credit for getting them out of that and back to their mid-table slot.
But the way some drone on about his job at Everton like he took some no name lower league side and cemented them as a PL team. He didn't though it was fecking Everton they are one of the biggest clubs in England. They have always been pretty rich compared to most clubs and during his time there they were always in the top 6-10 in terms of wages. And thats round about where they always finished, so yeah good job but lets not exaggerate his achievements there.
He deserves a CL club cause he is a manager with a CL potential, don't you know.
This guy was our manager. I want that stuff from Men in black, that flash or something when you forget some things from your life. One of them being David friggin Moyes being a Manchester United manager.

Huh? Who has said Mourinho is rubbish?
Maybe he figures the problems generally lie with him than anyone else. The first step to getting back any kind of credibility would be a thorough introspection. But that could be too much to ask for from someone who has his head so much far up his arse. But good luck anyway.
'I had a 6 year contract, I was takin ma time'.
" Sunderland didn't give me enough time "
I knew Moyes wasn't going to stick around in the Championship. He's probably seen what's happened to Villa and Norwich and doesn't fancy it, especially with the Toon coming straight back up.
He had a chance to restore his credibility and bottled it. He should never manage again! I will be absolutely gob-smacked if a PL outfit comes in for him ever again!!

Thought someone had bit Suarez's legs off for a secondFrom Readytogo:
He will have a say on his 'successor'?
Whaat?
Whaat?
how absolutely underwhelming has he been since he left Everton? The United job ruined him.
As if he would have a chance at getting them back up. Definitely the right move.
