David Moyes

His Sociedad team just beat Barca 1-0!

I watched the game. Levein tactics. 6 across the back.

[Jonnyboy]

Manager might get his jotters, leaving out five regular starters was asking for trouble. On another note, that guy Inigo Martinez of Sociedad is excellent :agree:

Agree. Especially with R Madrid losing earlier today. Should have went for it.

Levein never managed to win 1-0 though!!

[Smartie]

Did Levein not defend the decision to go 4-6-0 by saying that Everton would often play that way under Moyes away from home?

[Hermit Crab]

Levein never managed to win 1-0 though!!


Og after 2min.

According to the Spanish football reporter on Talk Sport this morning the Sociedad team are the biggest bunch of whinging prima donnas in Spanish football and Moyes had his work cut out from the word go.

According to the Spanish football reporter on Talk Sport this morning the Sociedad team are the biggest bunch of whinging prima donnas in Spanish football and Moyes had his work cut out from the word go.

I watch a lot of Spanish football and that's the first i've heard of that. Carlos Vela is quite difficult but he always has been and Moyes would have known that going in. The rest of the squad don't really have reputations for being hard to manage.

The reason he wasn't a success was his inability to learn the language. He was unable to communicate with the majority of the squad and in that situation it was never going to work.

This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8TqsgPBuwc) is as much he managed in his time there :greengrin

[Scouse Hibee]

Shame thought the People everywhere loved him.

[easty]

What EPL jobs will be available soon then? I'd rather have Moyes as manager than Rodgers that's for sure.

I'd be surprised if he hasn't already been sounded out to see if he was interested in the Celtic manager's position.

More like Fulham I'd have thought.

[DH1875]

He wont touch Fulham. After being sacked from his last 2 jobs he'll be looking for a job that'll raise his stock levels again. Fulham would be a tough one, celtic would be ideal.

Fulham are a big club though and a London club with potential to be in the EPL has to be an attractive opportunity.

[Lago]

Kind of disagree, not really that big mainly famous for being the first English club to pay a player £100 a week, but apart from that, nice river side stadium with a good view.

Trigger happy and eccentric owner.

Also not sure if Moyes fancies working in London. Didn't he turn down Spurs once?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

[QUOTE=jacomoseven;4501439]Trigger happy and eccentric owner.



That could be any club south of the border? If Man Utd hooked him quickly, then any club could do the same. ?

[greenlex]

A Daivid Moyes thread you say? Good enough excuse for wheeling this beauty out again.

[Scouse Hibee]

Any club with little aspirations of ever winning a trophy will surely be a good fit for him, can take Rogers as his number two.

What about clubs that aspire to win trophies but just can't?

If so, he must be a stick on for Anfield after Klopp goes. :greengrin

How many years is it now?

I've lost count. :greengrin

Nothing further to add.

Was that not Norrie McCathie?

Doubt it, Swansea have a footballing philosophy an Moyes aint that.

When you used to get football cards,this looks like one that you always got loads of and could never swap away.

Really? I don't remember him playing at that time at all.

He clearly didn't make an impact on me that day.

Really? I don't remember him playing at that time at all.

He made the mistake that led to the 2nd goal. Not sure if he was captain though, I would have guessed Norrie McCathie.

[jacomo]

Doubt it, Swansea have a footballing philosophy an Moyes aint that.

:agree:

Swansea would be more likely to make a move for Stubbs - and I don't think that's very likely.

Anyhow, there's no vacancy there at present. They are on a bad run but talk of ditching Garry Monk surely a bit silly.

[JimBHibees]

He made the mistake that led to the 2nd goal. Not sure if he was captain though, I would have guessed Norrie McCathie.

Pretty sure McCathie would have been captain.

[hibsbollah]

Its fairly pathetic that he lived holed up in his 5star hotel and didnt bother to even try to learn the language while he was there. Not the way to be a success if youre working abroad.

[Iggy Pope]

More so in a place like San Sebastián given the ****holes he's traded in before.....

Did he not buy a house? pretty poor given the cash he would be on.

Also important to at least make an effort to integrate into the community I would have thought.

[Stevie Reid]

It was one of their subs that made the error for the second goal.

Ray Sharp?

[Edit: I seem to remember his name from the commentary. Either him or Eddie Cunnington]

Billy Davies and Ian McCall as well - suddenly that win is even better than it actually was at the time

[Hibby Bairn]

Not a bonnie laddie.

[Scouse Hibee]

Stick on for Swansea.

Hmmmm

[Haymaker]

Hmmmm

No chance, he doesn't fit their strategy.

[Cameron1875]

He's an absolute fraud. The arrogance he has since he was emptied from United almost beggars belief and the fact he refuses to take responsibility for his failures won't help him.

Fortunately for him he is quite cooshty with some media people so he might fluke a job in the EPL but the boy is a managerial dinosaur.

Didn't exactly leave a good impression of Scottish managers in general if stories are true that he just stayed in a hotel and only interacted with locals when he went for a meal at night.

He should just hang about for the Celtic job in the summer since it's probably the only way he'll ever achieve success.

His record against Liverpool was a joke too and almost convinced Everton fans to have a small club mentality/underdogs.

I'm not much of a fan but I'm not sure you can blame him for the state Man Utd were in. Fergie left a sinking ship and LVG has showed there is real problems there. Yes I think he should have done a bit better but whoever was right after Fergie was on a hiding to nothing.

As for him staying in the hotel abroad no idea if that's true but if it is I don't see that being a problem! Many managers don't mingle with locals when they move to other countries and keep low profiles and just try get on with the job. I think Swansea could defo do better but he wouldn't be the worst.

LVG is trying to win things with potential which you will never do at that level, I can't see Moyes getting the Swansea gig, his philosophy doesn't fit.

Id have Moyes over LVG every day of the week. LVG has wasted 250m to create utterly dreadful football.

Rogers may not want to go backwards after being at Liverpool but he also has to get his reputation back and he may feel he knows Swansea well enough to help them and help him at the same time.

[MWHIBBIES]

LVG is trying to win things with potential which you will never do at that level, I can't see Moyes getting the Swansea gig, his philosophy doesn't fit.Not really true though, has signed plenty of experience in Di Maria, Darmian, Schweinsteiger, Falcao, Valdes, Romero, Schneiderlin and Rojo. His problem is that they are mostly crocked or crap so he has had to play kids.

LVG is too structured and rigid in his approach and play, this all very well when it comes to the defensive side of the game but all the naturally gifted attacking maverick players are either gone or not getting a game. De Maria > gone, Januzaj > gone(loan), Herrera hardly gets picked, same for Young.

[Brightside]

Or can't play his "system". Di Maria was a shocking buy if he wont play his game. He also doesn't play Herrera who is better than anyone he plays in the middle. Signing Schwein was mental when they already have a better player in Carrick. Any other manager would be crucified.

As you say either past it or just poor signings, Schneiderlin being the only one who stands out, will the Man U board trust him with more money in January.

[MWHIBBIES]

As you say either past it or just poor signings, Schneiderlin being the only one who stands out, will the Man U board trust him with more money in January.Darmian is a very good right back, just not much of a 'wing back' type so doesn't get noticed. As you say though majority very underwhelming so far, would be surprised if they make any major signings in January.

I'm hoping the board have been in discussion with Guardiola as he's been known to favour a club like Man U, maybe see out this season and let him loose wth the cheque book in the summer.

These players would've flourished in a Fergie team, fast paced attacking football.
