I've replied to a few - just spell it out (don't forget I've only got half a brain)It was in the post you replied to.
Well you said it...Come on then, I haven't got half a brain - tell me Moyes' thinking behind it
All 4 were crap and all 4 were signed by Moyes.Giving Moyes the benefit of the doubt, I think those signings were a case of bringing in players he felt he knew and could trust, to influence the dressing room. Both Pienaar and Lescott were free agents when they signed, and were only on short contracts. They certainly won't have broken the bank.
Again, ya could see what he was trying to do with Oviedo and Gibson, but it turned out to be a bit of a disaster.
Add in Adnan Januzaj and Donald Love, becuse Paddy McNair was ok, then he made 6 additions to the playing staff which were absolutely no benefit to the team and probably cost us over £100k a week.
The only one who was half decent was Victor Anichebe, but he was injured a lot of the time.
Moyes hoyed the towel in after the Boro game - 2 games into the season.
How can you possibly give him the benefit of doubt ?
He was a disaster and should have been sacked once Allardyce became available
No, you said it ......see your earlier post..Well you said it...
Doesn’t surprise me tbh. The players just weren’t good enough. Moyes knew it we all knew it. It was a joke of a club at that point - Short the biggest issue followed by his toothless employees. Recruitment was dreadful and Allardyce just used one shady agent despite him doing well with the players. Moyes should have kept his mouth shut like. We’re in league one I know but look at how well run we are now compared to then, with a pittance of the income.
I never said it was.No, you said it ......see your earlier post..
I'm just playing along with it.
If you think employing trusted has beens is good management, then crack on. It obviously wasn't and we are stilll paying for it
Bringing in Gibson, Pienaar and Lescott should’ve been a sacking offence alone.
But you did say "I've never really believed what happened here was all Moyes' fault."I never said it was.
Yeah - that's not the same thing is it.But you did say "I've never really believed what happened here was all Moyes' fault."
Him and Short to blame
Why didn't he just resign when he wasn't happy withthe hand he was dealt with.Yeah - that's not the same thing is it.
I'm not disputing any of those points.Why didn't he just resign when he wasn't happy withthe hand he was dealt with.
iirc he left the day after Chelsea 5-1, when he should have been sacked (or had the guts to resign long before Xmas)
To the outside world it looks like he was happy to take the money and offer nothing in exchange, except lining the pockets of players who were once useful to him ..... a kind of reward for service at Everton, but paid for by Sunderland
Do you think the players were good enough? Do you think the recruitment was good and we invested enough in players that summer compared to our rivals? Did Allardyce not focus on recruiting from one shady agent who left when he did ? Were Short's staff doing a good job? Was the club being run well?This completely and utterly untrue
What fuck you on about?
Could it just be the club was totally fucked ??He was absolutely f***ing awful
and utter disgrace
Was absolutely gutted and livid in equal measure that we didn't sack him on grounds of gross misconduct after that Vicki Sparks interview. Him, Short and Bain were a f***ing disgrace in that period.Regardless of how he is doing now, he was an absolute disgrace here. He threw in the towel.
From day one (sending texts to journalists telling them they were "about to see the worst Premier League team in history and his interview after Boro when he had all but given up after 2 games), to the end of the season with the John Terry antics and everything in between (threatening to slap a female reporter for one) he was utterly abysmal.
Replaced van Aanholt with Oviedo.I'm not disputing any of those points.
But as I've said, we were within touching distance of safety at the end of January.
I'm sure he'll put this to bed when I ask him.Defoe is doing a talk-in at the Roker hotel in a couple of months time.
I for one am absolutely stunned that Jermain Defoe didn't criticise him or say anything remotely negative when asked a question as a football pundit live on TV. Shocked to my very core.
