Moyes Sack Watch

[O 20,759]

What a depressing cunt. Has anyone seen his recent comments about Sunderland's transfer plans and general hopes for the season?

"I'd be kidding you on if I said the players we are going to bring in in January are going to massively make a big difference…. Because, first of all, we probably couldn't get that level of player and secondly, we probably wouldn’t have the finances to do that…The funds we have to work with are limited with a capital L."

I've read online that some people think he's looking to get sacked instead of just resigning, so that he can get a big payoff.  I agree.

Sunderland look like they're going to sell van Aanholt to Crystal Palace, which only further underlines the fuckery at that club. He's one of their few attacking outlets.

The career of Moyes has really taken a nosedive since leaving the comforts of the Everton job. He'll probably fade out of management after this.

You would never here such negativity from survival specialists like redknapp and big sam. One wonders how he did so well prior to taking over at united. Presumably once he realized the job here was too big for him any belief that he'd built up over the years must've evaporated. To be successful a manager cannot afford to have self doubt or show such pessimism as it'll rub off on the players.

[TheManc 4,063]

He's such a negative bastard, jesus. Was he always like this at Everton? In hindsight, even his first United press conference he started by saying he's never seen United have such a difficult start etc.

[MrSwellman 7,735]

Lescott coming in, they are safe. ?

Even if he gets sacked by Sunderland, it won't be his fault. He's already set his excuses up by saying stuff like he wouldn't have joined them had he known money was tight. Sad thing is, the press will back him and he'll likely get another gig.

His excuse with this makes no sense, i'm pretty sure any agent or in fact manager going into a job would be made aware of what sort of budget they would have to work with. He's a silly man.

Makes it even more baffling how he was given the United job.

[Juanderful 3,456]

Pretty sure I was one of very few here to say his appointment wouldn't change anything for Sunderland (though I seem to recall I might have been a bit more negative than that..) 

It would take a special manager to save that club. Poorly run and the squad just isn't good enough for this league. They were always next for the chop after Villa. The vultures will pick them apart and they'll be left to battle it out in the Championship for a number of years.

If that doesn't happen, I'll be damned. Sacking Moyes now isn't going to do anything. Other teams are on the up around them and they're just to weak. It would cost them too much to sack him anyway, so the theory of him trying to get the sack probably adds up.

Respect to Defoe if he stays for the season though. He could help a lot of clubs right now.

Sunderland have had great success at staying up whenever they sack a manager.

Defo looking for the sack and a pay off,not the barrel of laughs RAWK is,but had a look at a Sunderland forum,and to a man they all think he was harshly treated at United and the board reacted to the fans and press,but given time,he would've done great and many are behind him at Sunderland.

A lot of silly Mackems.

Moyes has actually spent a decent amount on signings and is fortunate enough to have a more reliable striker than the majority of the other relegation candidates.

6 points of 15th.

Not a big task for Pulis..

but Moyes will make it looker bigger than it is,worse than it is,the ever positive Moyes.

Young manager from Glasgow. Fergie basically thought he was himself in 1986 (except Moyes hadn't actually won anything aside from the playoff with Preston)

Also, more than any other manager he surrounds himself with players he's had before. The only one like that is Arry.

I still don't buy the ''chosen one'' bullshit,more like the ''only one'' as every fucker steered clear of following Sir Alex...although one man would've jump at the chance if asked,still Moyes is there as a warning,never to be as fucking stupid again.

I know. But my point being, I think they've run their luck. Other clubs have acted quicker and they lack the quality to really stay in the league.

Not impossible, but I can't see then pulling yet another escape.

"fake news" "alternative facts" 

David Moyes well and truly living in 2017. 

[TFIA 15,140]

He’s a disaster – While our players were cunts I can see why they couldn’t respect him in the position. Ferguson totally fucked us.

Definitely looking for the sack. Being intentionally provocative to the board when it makes no sense whatsoever to do so. I can imagine he was probably lied to regarding potential funds and they need signings when you look at their injury list but it doesn’t excuse being so negative so publicly – Just get on with it. 

Van Aanholt is pretty poor defensively but he’s their most consistent threat in wide areas. Selling him to fund transfers for Lescott and Darron Gibson is fucking asinine. Lescott had one of the worst campaigns you’ll ever see from a PL player last season and worst of all didn’t even seem to give a fuck.

They do still stand a chance if they keep Defoe as he’s far more reliable as a goalscorer than any other player down there.

Going back to sign Lescott and Gibson, shows he has no new ideas (read players) in mind to improve the squad or he has no face value to lure better players.

Our first window with him was all about Baines and Felliaini hahah. Throw in a Bale link or two for good measure.

How Juan was lured I'll never know.

Juan just happened or say the chopper ride did the trick... He was not happy with bench role at Chelsea and was looking for a move out. Moyes after his transfer failures in the summer wanted a face saving one and went for Mata without even thinking/knowing how to use him. Mata on his part, being the traditional valued guy would not have ever declined an opportunity to sign and play for MANUTD.

Mata was his worst signing.

Ah, the most important quality in football. Britishness.

Years later, I still find it unbelievable that he got the Utd job.
