If Mourinho or Klopp was coming in then yeah id be excited to see what happens. The thought of Moyes coming in and Rooney leaving is probably the most unexcited iv ever been as a United fan.
Meh I think i'll take a few days off from posting anyway, almost everything iv said in the last 24 hours as been doom and gloom, im starting to annoy myself.
You're not the only one who feels like this Castia. I echo those sentiments.
I have to commend some of you for attempting to get excited about Moyes likely appointment, or at least trying to stem some of the doom and gloom surrounding it. I'm struggling with the idea of it personally and have previouslu vehemently refuted it anytime the idea has even floated as an option before. So now that it's looking nailed on it's not easy to just do a complete 180 on the way I felt before.
Apart from stability I don't see any benefit of us hiring David Moyes at all. He doesn't strike me as someone who has a winning mentality like all the best managers do. It oozes out of them and I'm not convinced its a learned behaviour either. Moyes would be totally uninspiring imo.
SAF leaving is a big enough blow, especially for those of us who know nothing else apart from Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, but appointing Moyes over someone with a track record of being able to challenge and win things (Klopp, Mourinho etc..) just makes the whole thing more of a concern imo. I think a club like Shalke should be Moyes next logical step. See how he does at a team the next step up from Everton and then he can throw his hat in the ring for a job at arguably the biggest club in the world once he shows he has what it takes to be a winner. SAF was a winner before he came here, why are we deviating from those standards when we're currently more successful now than we were then.
Everton fans don't even see the idea of Moyes leaving as a bad thing. They're excited about Laudrupp after a lot of them aired their grievances over the negative football Everton were playing earlier in the season. Some are even hoping it gets sorted quickly before any discontent from United fans scuppers the deal.
I'll get behind him completely though, and I'm sure the vast majority of our fans will. I'll hope that he proves me completely wrong but I can't feel anything but pessimistic at his impending appointment. It's the safe, sensible, steadying the ship option but not ambitious enough for us I feel.
Is it a case of stability > success? Shouldn't we at least be looking for someone with a decent mixture of those qualities?
