Yann M'vila - target or not?

Okay fair enough. But after he took over, Sam's win percentage was still worse than Poyet and O'Neil, who both got sacked. It was exactly the same as Bruce, who most people stag off. Also, Allardyce had a better win percentage when he managed Newcastle (where he got sacked) but i dont hear anyone ever say how good he was for them. We can make excuses for him as much as we like but ultimately the stats prove he wasn't actually that good.

He was decent for us and had us looking solid towards the end of the season. The Poyet 'escape' was the most impressive of all the times we narrowly survived

He isn't coming so move on and stop yer dreaming...face reality. We gonna get some loan from a Prem club, 19 years old and then we find out he's another number 10 and not a defensive midfielder. Start of the season I said top two, after ten games I said play-offs. Now I reckon 10th.

So if you have been wrong multiple times before, so recently, what makes you confident in your opinion now?

You should be questioning everything you "know".

I'm with you, I don't think he was as great as people make out, however the general atmosphere and feeling was just as great.

He's consistent and it's what a club like ours required at the time. I doubt he'd have ever took us to that 'next level' though.

Replacing him, who created such a positive atmopshere regarding the club despite it's glaring issues, with Moyes was an absolutely horrific decision. On paper it looked decent, but given how quickly it was apparent he wasn't at all interested in being here, or even trying to succeed, then you've got to wonder how piss poor the interview process and/or other applicants were.

If we're lucky. There's a lot of teams wanting those 2 playoff spots more than our owners do.
Will Beale be here in the summer if we finish 10th?
