You don't need to know him mate, results, and the manner of them speak for themselves. I fully understand your point of view. However if you truly believe that Moyes is the man to carry out the root and branch overhaul its suggested we are about to embark upon then I fear you will ultimately end up disappointed. Additionally I believe we have different ideas on objectivity and expectation. I believe we have a squad that should have been able to provide better results than they have, instead I have watched a team stripped of heart, fight, confidence and ultimately self respect. With relegation comes an opportunity to correct some of the mistakes that have been made, to move forward on a firmer financial footing, to build a younger better motivated team, all these things are achievable in my opinion. Just not with Moyes as manager.Fair enough, you've got your view. I don't think the same way, but that's just because I don't know enough about what he does or how he is at work (as opposed to doing PR) to conclude that he's a 'train wreck'.
Results are poor as a fan aye; but I honestly think he's been dealt a crap hand and on an objective basis actual performance is broadly in line with expectations.
Did you think we'd be top ten at the start of the season?
I'm sick of going in to each season knowing that it's going to be a grim, arduous struggle relying on an end of season run of form to keep us up. We're in that predicament because the the organisation has been badly run. I wish some rich businessman would whoy £200m in the transfer and wages kitty (although think what a £200m lumper would actually deliver; its not that much ) but they didn't. I think the owner is trying a different strategy and MB/DM are integral to that. So I'm just saying, let's give them a chance and see where we are after three years. It might be the Championship but maybe we'll see a completely different, well-run, stable and optimistic club.
Did it not go much deeper at those other clubs....until they started making better decisions. Moyes completely fucked up the best situation a manager has inherited in recent memory.
See above. I don't know what the plan is - probably not that, but I suspect we'll find out more in the close season

That happened when he thought he was good enough to manage Man Utd. Career killer right there.You are in good company mate,Moyes doesn't either ,he's completely lost the plot.

You don't need to know what he is like doing his actual whole job (not the 3% of the role which is PR) to reach a view that he's not up to scratch? I wouldn't like to work for you mate!You don't need to know him mate, results, and the manner of them speak for themselves. I fully understand your point of view.

You are the architect of your own premonition
Yes we are relegation fodder and absolutely certain to be demoted but Mr Moyes there was no fight under your leadership we surrendered last September.
You offered no optimism,no spirit ,no heart and worst of all no hope
Please do the morally honest action and resign so that even in relegation we can look forward to someone who could provide some hope for the future because you don't even offer the consolation of any aspiration of any inkling of positivity
So if you were in charge of a major business like Sunderland you'd keep a person who'd failed badly three times on the trot with little or no signs of being up to the job? That there is a great business model marra.You don't need to know what he is like doing his actual whole job (not the 3% of the role which is PR) to reach a view that he's not up to scratch? I wouldn't like to work for you mate!
I see what you mean about judging on results, but didn't MB say that the manager's appointment was part of a long term plan?
I don't mind the club taking a longer term view - assuming of course that there actually is a sensible strategy which they'll deliver on.
Fair enough about where you think this season's squad should have performed - and on that basis I can understand why you think the manager has failed. TBH I expected the season to be shite and that we'd be in the bottom group - and it hasn't been a repeat of the 02-03 or 05-06 horror shows so - while it's crap I'm not calling for any heads.
Team that always finishes above 17th suddenly doesn't.yes because a team that has consistently finished in the bottom six should somehow automatically finish mid table........
As I said previously, results speak for themselves. I'm not interested in his PR skills, or evident lack of. My expectations weren't that high to be honest although after the end of last season I thought we would avoid the usual relegation fight. Unlike yourself however as he is manager I hold him responsible for the performances on the pitch this season. He is the manager and is ultimately accountable. He is being paid a substantial salary to avoid what has come to pass this season. I trust that given time the club can resolve the situation we are in at the moment and come out a better club for it, but as I said not with Moyes in charge of the team, he's done nothing to even stabilise our situation, instead it's become progressively worse. He's failed in every single aspect of his job. Why on earth would anyone give him a chance to make it worse.You don't need to know what he is like doing his actual whole job (not the 3% of the role which is PR) to reach a view that he's not up to scratch?

give over the best situation my arse, our previous manager walked out less than two month before the start of the season, the club wouldn't pay for mvila, Kaboul was sold and none didn't give a fuck
Boro look as bad as us, surely we can beat them and salvage a tiny sliver of pride
If he does that I'll know for sure he's getting a relegation bonus and wants f***ing lynchingWe will play for a draw and it will be whomever can nick one.
If khazri back to the bench and pienaar starts we will lose.

So it's rumoured, outlandish concept I know, but there's no smoke without fire.He gets paid
I don't know whether there is one or, if so, what it is(!)
However, the club is crying out for that, ES is a sophisticated operator, MB strikes me a eminently sensible possibility and, to be honest, I can't see anything other sensible.
Chucking in further ten of millions each year and changing the manger every time the honeymoon wears off surely cannot be the plan?!
Or why not have a manager who gets his team to compete and to play football, then we wouldn't have to keep changing would we.
