You have to say fair fecks to Moyes. He's like an old school manager (which I think is a big part of why he got the job).
Listening to those who've worked with him over the past couple of days what you hear is a story of a very straight up, hard working, no bullshit sort of guy.
He did a great job at Preston and go his shot at the big time when he was offered the job at Everton (what a decision by Kenwright!), where he's continued to work hard, with limited resources, but has provided stability there which is what they need. He arguably did the best job anyone could have at both clubs, through dedication and hard work.
Thats paid off now and he's got his shot on the biggest stage of all. If what his colleagues have said is accurate I think he's going to see this as another huge challenge to step up and prove himself at the highest level.
I think he'll have the hunger to do that (maybe far more than other more proven alternatives), and based on his CV to date he certainly seems to have the required committment and dedication.
We're all going to miss Fergie, its going to be weird, but it was inevitable and its happened, fans need to start looking forward. Moyes might not have been everyones dream replacement but dreams can very quickly turn into nightmares...
I can't wait to see how the new Utd turn out now, lets give the manager time and judge him on that and cut out all the 'I got the wrong colour iphone for Xmas' and predictions of doom can we?
