Thats a really good point, fergie used to bring in new staff and fresh ideas regularly.
He could be 40 years behind SAF and he'd still be old school
In Moyes example how can he reach his ceiling, if the club wont support him in the transfer market? We wont know now will we, whether they could have taken another step up...
Exactly. Now instead they are just starting all over again.
Because people think West Ham should know their place and have no ambition.
Now that would be embarrassing. Imagine Real Madrid winning the conference league.
He'll have plenty of offers. He's proven himself to be very competent.
They literally finished 5th ahead of united the season after he left.
Dos veces en españa?
We havent won a league titile in 11 years and a CL in even longer. We arent in the same class as likes of real madrid. Crystal Palace are making us look like a league 1 side.
This isn't true.
His team finished fifth with Lukaku. What happened the following few seasons?
11th, 11th, 7th then 8th.

Yeah, Fergie is a right bastard for that.
It's a very strange narrative that has crept in.
It would've probably been better if he left last year but think his reputation is still mostly intact. Won them a trophy after decades, finished around 7-8th on the table multiple times etc. Someone mentioned Forest and I could see him going there if they survive and decide to part ways with Nuno. If not them, then some other PL team at some point during next season.
Also had a good EL run again this season, unlucky that he had to face the true invincibles there. But still in terms of performance that EL could probably be similarly rated as the ECL win the year before.
It's just lazy revisionism.
Fergie announced he was retiring in May, not January.
This is the funniest part the football he is associated with is pretty much the same kind of thing.
Are smaller clubs not allowed to have a competition they can actually win? They needed a competition like this as the big clubs have monopolised the other trophies and it is killing the game. European competition used to be quite entertainingly varied in terms of success.
Moyes still has defenders on here who would make even Ten Hags biggest cheerleaders cringe. They wouldn't let facts get in the way of a good narrative.
How dare West Ham fans want to watch decent football every week.
I think it’s more, he really didn’t make drastic changes and yet gets so much blame. It was LVG who really dismantled things.
They do not have the money or the prestige for what the fans want. They should consider supporting a different club with the necessary financial muscle for the modern game if that is what they want.
Fair enough but they literally went down this road before with Moyes and the stylish manager they replaced him with almost took them down and they had to bring Moyes back to save their bacon. With that recent history in mind it smacks of ingratitude and should serve as a warning to be careful what you wish for. It could work out for them and of course they can register their displeasure at the style of play but that does not alter the fact that Moyes has been treated pretty shabbily by the fans and the board.
Everything should always stay exactly the same.
This. About 4 teams can actually win the UCL and the winners of the Europa League are just big clubs who drop out of the UCL (or Sevilla). Europe needed this tournament because of how lopsided European football has become.
