England? Germany? Permanently out of work?

Personally I think he's still a good manager and whoever nabs him next will be getting a highly-motivated individual who'll be desperate to prove his critics wrong.

Spurs would suit him down to the ground as the levels of expectation aren't as great there, nor the scrutiny so intense. German football would also appeal to him as well, I'd imagine.

Best of luck to him whatever he decides to do. If he ever comes back to Old Trafford in the opposing dug-out, he'll be given a warm reception, unlike those classless clowns at Goodison.
 
I imagine he will be damaged goods after this debacle and any sensible club won't go near him. His confidence must be in tatters.
 
He'll be fine. Hodgson rebuilt his reputation quickly after the Liverpool debacle with West Brom. He'll still be a good manager for a club of say Villa or Newcastle's level and I have no doubt will replicate what he did at Everton at those types of clubs.

I can see him going abroad too, he seems to be a fan of German football.
 
West Ham manager on July 1st. Then proceeds to sign no players until August 31st and will tell the fans he had no time, as it takes time to settle at a new club. Oh, the player he signs will be Cleverley.
 
I can't see an upper half Premier League club going for him in all honesty, even the likes of Southampton are opting for foreign and modern managers. Germany may be an option for him, if he is still as highly regarded over there. I think he may be better off rebuilding his career in another league.
 
He'll probably end up having to do a Steve McLaren. For now he's damaged goods and will probably have to go abroad and rebuild his reputation. Although a lower club who need some defensive work might come knocking. I wouldn't entirely rule out Sunderland.
 
I might be the first who suggested Newcastle in the "Moyes so far" thread. I'm sticking by that. He's a perfect fit.

Although if he believes that he has the potential to be a manager at a big club again, he should probably be adventurous and go abroad. He can gain valuable experience and can build a name for himself again. A job like Newcastle won't challenge him to take his managerial abilities up another level. He will just be like Sam Allardyce doing decent jobs at mid table clubs in England.
 
I think the ideal situation for him would be to join a club that wants to establish itself in the Premier League and whose fans are concerned more about staying up and punching above their weight than pretty football or grand aspirations. Pulis has seen his reputation restored - enhanced even - through doing with Crystal Palace exactly what was deemed disposable at Stoke.

I can't see Moyes being desirable to any club that strives for attractive football or wants to move to the next level as, rightly or wrongly, he'll now be synonymous with failure and dour football in most fans' eyes. The worst thing for him would be to go to an established Premier League club that he cannot realistically take on much further, especially one that demands attractive football. He'd be swimming against the tide from the outset at a club like West Ham or Newcastle.

I'm not sure the Newcastle fans would be happy with Moyes.
 
I can see him ending up at West Ham, West Brom, Fulham, Villa or Newcastle if he stays in this league.
 
He might be better off reestablishing himself in another league.

This failure will always be a blot on his CV and he almost certainly will never work for another elite club. He can still rebuild his career to a decent level and restore his reputation though.

The worst thing for him right now is that he's become a figure of ridicule but once that dies down a bit there'll certainly be some offers for him based on what he did at Everton. I hope things work out well for him, hard not to feel sorry for the guy.
 
West Ham is about his level and style. He'd have the perfect big man up top to get in the end of all those crosses and he can take Fellaini to play him behind Carroll. :drool:
 
There were rumours about him going to Germany before he got to us, I think he'll head there.

I'm pretty sure he'll do fine for some smaller club, obviously United was just too big for him. I wish him good luck and hope he'll do great job wherever he goes.
 
Whichever club he joins I hope they've enough of a transfer budget to allow for a Fellaini swoop anyway. He's all yours, Moyes.
 
Newcastle seems to be the best option for both parties. Spurs will aspire for more I think, while anyone lower then us would love to get him, other then Southampton. Think he'll take some time off though, apparently he was set to do that at the end of his everton contract before we approached him.

Hodgson managed to get the England job after his stint with Liverpool, which was arguably worse then Moyes with us (its close though). Moyes is a better manager then Roy, so he'll be fine.
 
Will do well at a mid table club somewhere, replicating his Everton work.

Debatable tbh.
 
He's perfect for most teams in the Premier League. Newcastle is definitely a good shout for both parties.
 
A couple of the clubs that survive the relegation scrap might be looking at a new manager. Norwich, Newcastle, Fulham, West Ham, Villa, West Brom jobs could all open up at some point before Christmas I'd think.
 
He'll probably take a break from management first. He's got more than enough money to retire now.

He has done a fair bit of tv stuff in the past, so who knows, maybe he will go and do that.

People like Keane have had bad manager spells and gone on to be on TV.

I think he will be eager to prove himself once again.
 
No chance for him to get a job out of Britain. It will be either a midtable/lowtable club on EPL, or Glasgow.

He won't repeat Everton pseudo-achievements IMO and his career will be a mirror of Big Sam career. I doubt that Spurs will be interested for him.

Extremely debatable. Their style is pretty much the same, and Woy has some trophies on his CV, while Moyes got good results for a decade with Everton.

Moyes spell was definitely worse than Hodgson's spell (taking into context that Woy took them in the seventh place and had 0 pounds to spend while Moyes took the champions and spend 70m).

True, but then Roy also had them in the relegation zone for a long time and played worse football then we did, as shocking as that is. Pretty sure they were 11th when they sacked him too. Both are in the same class though, Moyes being slightly better IMO. Also if you compare what they said in the media... Roy might even surpass some of the shit Moyes said. Think he said something like "that was the best performance of the season" after losing 2-0 to Everton.

The best thing Woy said in the media was something like 'you'll miss me when I am gone'. He seriously said that.

They were for a short period on relegation zone, but I think that we also were for a game on the seventeenth place or something low like that. 7th is better than 11th for sure, but our squad was much better than Pool's squad and Moyes spend 70m while Woy didn't have a penny to spend (because the club was in a trial between that bank and the previous owners).
 
It's going to be tough for him, the type of damage done from this fallout could have a long lasting effect on Moyes.

Spurs will aim for top four, they won't go near Moyes. It would be a terrible match for both parties really.

Think we could argue for a while over who did worse, both have been awful so there is plenty of things to back up either side :lol:
Honestly if you were to ask me who I would rather have as manager, it would be Moyes. That would be the most depressing decision ever though, choosing between them two. Both have similar strengths that lie in turning relegation fodder into steady mid table teams through negative shit on a stick football.
 
Next Scotland manager? they're basically...rubbish and his underdog mentality may suit them.
 
I hope they come to their senses and keep him on. I cannot believe united would sign someone on a 6 year deal and let him go. I thought they were bringing him in to rebuild? Madness.
 
Can people please stop talking like he has been sacked...

Last summer we had signed Thiago and several others. Don't trust everything the papers say.
