They're pretty much guaranteed safety so can play with freedom.
Make some happy memories in Goodison before they move.

Moyes is 125 games away from Wenger's record of most PL games managed.

Quite an achievement to reach that.
Only 3.3 seasons away. He's 61.

Surely Ferguson holds that record?

Feels like he's been around forever too.

I thought so too, had to check. Ferguson retired in 2013, Wenger managed until 2018.

Wenger has 18 more games than Fergie.

It's a nice record for Moyes to aim for. Could stand for a long, long time.

More importantly Ferguson started before the PL was founded. So in total he managed United in more games than Wenger did Arsenal.

Can't find information on most games managed in English top flight division.
Fergie would be ahead of Wenger but might not be first overall.

Thank you, I thought I was having a stroke for a second there

Sometimes it might make sense to separate between the PL and the English top division, but this is not one of those cases.

Can't find information on the latter

I make this out for Ferguson to have managed 1035 top flight games in England.

Which gives him the top spot ahead of Frank Watt with 1005 and Busby in third with 964.

Wenger is fourth

Wenger is fourth

Poetic.

Fergie only managed 21 seasons in the Premier League. That may sound like a lot, but as depressing as it is for us older guys, there have been 24 seasons since the year 2000.

Moyes would probably have beaten it by now if he didn't have a season in La Liga, and a few on the sidelines inbetween rescuing West Ham from themselves

Thanks for the replies. Good to hear that Garner's back in action and doing well.

Interesting that Beto and O'Brien have been fundamental as well. Just strange that Dyche hadn't worked out how to use them - I guess he was feeling as demoralised and stale as the team. Not that I'm pleased about the news. United have enough problems without meeting a team that's just added extra height to the starting lineup.

Here is a pretty good video at explaining it. I think it's less that Dyche hadn't worked out how to use them and more that Dyche has very rigid principles that he doesn't really shake from in terms of having flat banks of 4.
