Obviously hankering for his next gig. They always do some pundit work and big up themselves to tout their services. Smalladyce was always doing it when he was out of work.
David Moyes West Ham Manager | Gone (pedantic sod Sarni)
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
He deserves better than that pile of dung club.
He's stood by Newcastle all this time, I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed.
That post was from may
Tony Hibbert and Leon Osman - PL Contenders
Most seasons they were 6 or 7 missile strikes away from the top of the league.
I sort of see where he's coming from, they had reasonably solid defence back then of Baines, Jagielka, Lescott, good quality in midfield with Arteta and Cahill but getting in a clinical striker was always a problem.
I remember one year (might've been the final year before he went to Man, United) all they could do for upfront was Jermaine Beckford on a free transfer from Leeds.
A Vardy or Lukaku who went to Everton the year he left would've both been good fits for the style his teams played.
Still don't think they'd have been anywhere near the title. To win it you need to actually win games away to fellow contenders and his record was atrocious when in charge there which suggests mentality issues from the manager which continued when he turned up at your place.

He says he was there for 11 years, he says he was in charge of transfers, then he bemoans that he was a striker away from competing for the league... didn't he sign lots of garbage strikers... so perhaps the reason they didn't compete for the league was because he was shit at finding and getting the best out of strikers?
This guy was the man chosen by the club to keep us at the top...I will never understand that decision.
Eh? He's been there since 2016
That wasnt a bad team they had.

What I liked about Moyes Everton was, he had zero to spend, unless he sold and he had a squad of about 15 players. Yet did a belting job with them. Won feck all, but it was a compettive market.

What? It has no relevant context today. It was about Moyes' replacement, which was Pellegrini
To be fair - he was only a Messi or Ronaldo, or Pele away from challenging for the title!
What a tit - I despise him so much, I hate the fact that we were ever associated with him, and wish he could be eradicated from our history.

No wonder he didn't sign anyone worth having here if he thinks Jagielka & Co were PL winning quality.
He is the sole reason we are where we are now. I wish we could just forget he was ever here.

He did told Rio and Vidic to Jagielka videos so that's actually not new news. The guy is delusional in its finest.
If that were true, we wouldn't be where we are now, given the investment since. A series of increasingly poor and wooly-minded decisions are responsible for where we are now.
Sometimes you meet people that are insanely delusional with an over inflated ego but you let it slide because there are slivers of character, achievement and personality that can rationalize them. However I still can’t wrap my head around Moyes. That’s what makes him so clearly absurd. There is absolutely nothing about him that justifies anything he ever says or does. Truly comical
He should go and manage the Scottish national team.
There are lots of symptoms but the real problem is that the mentality within the club is broken. He did that.
fecking hell. The delusion!He actually believes what he’s saying too. Just delusions of grandeur.
Is it just me or Craig Bellamy is smirking while this delusional cnut is speaking.
Moyesie's Everton in their fourth-place season finished on 61 points, 3 ahead of 5th place Liverpool who had mostly looked to the CL at that point and 16 points behind us. The winners, Chelsea, finished their season on 95 points. Everton scored 45 goals that season and ended with a GD of -1. This was the only season they came barely close to something even vaguely resembling a hint of a title-chase. Fair to say, they would not have led a title charge.
Every time I see Bellamy he’s smirking. That’s his resting snitch face.
I'm sure he will be the first manager off the merry-go-round once some club panics and sacks their manager (probably Cardiff) - unless Big Sam is still open to offers at his age?
He should go to China ASAP.
He had a small squad, but if he could've kept them all fit and got a prolific 25+ goals a season man from somewhere totally agree with him there.
Sir Alex surely knew this guy wouldn't work out. He knew Moyesy was like this, probably thinking managing United was an easy thing, he probably let him have the job cause he never liked him
Good manager, imagine what he can do with united budget.
Cough...
Cough...
He needed more time!!
6...year...contract.
fecking hell.
fecking hell.
So a good striker would have added 30 points to what they usually got?
Yeah, this is why it amazes me that the regular pundits get paid so much. They could just get out-of-work managers to do it for free.
They never had that team. Am I missing something?
Depends how good he was.
Not even prime Aguero would have got them 30 points.
They were usually quite far off top 4 points wise, maybe a top striker like Rooney would have got them to top 4 but no way would they challenge for the title.
He's still as arrogant as ever I see. The way he kept banging on about his Baines, Coleman, Pienaar team you could be excused for thinking it was a striker away from being better than Guardiola's Barca.
Their problem was they drew too many matches, if they'd turned even half of those into wins, and got draws from some of their narrow defeats something a regular goalscorer would've helped big style with they'd have been a lot more competitive, and don't forget those extra points they got would've been subtracted from those competing in and around them. And that's not even factoring in the confidence the team/squad would've got having a regular scorer in the team.
He takes any opportunity to bang on about how his teams could or should have done this or that on TV. The fact that he actually believes his own hype says it all. Sad and deluded.
Yet when he took over the actual champions with striker options of rvp, rooney, welbeck and chicarito he took them down to 7th. Something doesn’t add up there Dave!
