Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) I've said it before on here, absolutely top drawer manager who was very unfairly maligned after a succession of incredibly difficult jobs which no manager could have done particularly well. If he was given the same backing Van Gaal and Mourinho got there's every chance he's still Man Utd manager now with a league title under his belt. Watched West Ham last night and, like all Moyes teams once he's had a while to work with them, they just screamed out we are a wonderfully well coached and organised team. A proper unit that is more than the sum of its parts, very hard to beat and play against, and with a great team spirit. He is perfect for Scotland and 100% should be Clarke's successor. We need to start behaving like a competent country and planning for the succession from a successful manager is a big part of that. Moyes is perfect, couldn't possibly ask for any better. His style is very similar to Clarke so huge continuity and its exactly the style that, as Clarke has proved, is effective with a team like Scotland, and his CV absolutely wipes the floor with any Scotland manager in the last 35 years. He also described Scotland as his 'dream job' whilst at Everton. Absolute no-brainer, I hope Clarke stays for a long time but there's no need to even look for his successor, its David Moyes.

Gordopolis Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I reckon Moyes should have turned Man U down. Easier said than done, but there was next to no chance he could meet expectations there at that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he didn't, he had zero contribution to that. He has since related the list of players he submitted to Man Utd when he got the job, including Toni Kross of the top of my head. They got him none of those players, eventually securing just Fellaini in the last minutes of the window. Anybody going in to that job to succeed Fergie would have wanted half a dozen top drawer players. They got him none, just one jobber. The CE actually changed the same summer, he is at fault for their failure in the market not Moyes. And btw Moyes had them seventh, they spent hundreds of millions after he left, if he had got the same backing he could still be there now. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson had scouted Thiago Alcantara for a year, the guy was as good as a United player, Moyes came in, put it on hold, as he wanted to look at him, then started chasing Cesc Fabregas, who was only angling for a better contract at Barca, meanwhile Pep got in contact with Thiago, and he was Bayern bound, so f**k off with that shite he was let down and takes no blame., he's a midtable donkey. *edit....aye, champions of england by 11 points, took them to 7th, their worst finish since 1990/91 season Edited January 2, 2021 by Gus Setsniffer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
