Bris Red Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think its best Moyes had a break from football management indefinitely IMO. Been a disaster for him since leaving Everton. Call it a day Moyes, you cant need the dolla surely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Surprised at this in some way, after the sacking of United, and the strange job taking Sociedad, it was always likely Sunderland were getting relegated. But would of given him a chance to take the club back up first time, proving he still has the quality to be a very good manager. Resigning now, I would be surprised if any other PL club touched him again. Perhaps though, the owners were not willing to invest the money to rebuild Sunderland. So I can understand him leaving if that is the case. However, I think he has lost that zag since leaving Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 If we had a chance at getting Moyes, I'd happily rent a limo and chauffeur him from Sunderland to Bristol myself. Sure, his career has stalled since Everton, but think about it this way. He did just as good at Man Utd as LVG and Mourinho, despite having a ton of money at his disposal, he tried to take the Steve McClaren approach by trying management outside of England, and Sunderland have been described as the shit that wouldn't flush for the better part of five years. I doubt he'd get another role in the Premier League, so if LJ doesn't work out next season I'd love to see Lansdown take him on as a manager.

Taz Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Damaged goods since leaving Everton. The Man Utd job was a poisoned chalice for anyone taking over from Fergie, so getting the boot from there was to be expected (although many would have expected him to be there for longer). The Sunderland job was his chance to start rebuilding his career, and it hasn't worked out. Perhaps they wanted/expected him to do what he did with Everton - who knows. I think his next move needs to be thought out very carefully, as it could make or break his career. Personally I wouldn't be surprised to see him take charge of a higher Championship side, and rebuild from there. Many will probably say that they would prefer him here instead of Johnson, but would we end up with a Danny Wilson scenario, whereby we bring someone in with Premiership experience, and never be able to make that last step up? Then again bringing in Moyes would certainly attract a lot of players.... None of this matters anyway, because Johnson will not be going anywhere until at least November, depending on whether we have another disastourous run or not!!

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 3 failures in a row...but maybe he could drop to Championship and prosper? Typed in Moyes Sociedad to twitter just now, one result that came up- who knows where it's substantiated- but was interesting. Quote the sociedad players called moyes the energy vampire. He didn't help matters at Sunderland- fine line between being downbeat and realistic, if gloomy. When he declared them in a relegation scrap after 2 games that doesn't help. Too honest for his own good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just now, Super said: He wasn't backed at Sunderland not sure many managers would have kept them up this season. Sunderland I might agree. Though arguably he got less backing than Hull's managers had and they made a better fist of survival all things considered. £18.1 million net spend in the summer- I appreciate it came down to close to zero in January (from a quick look at wikipedia). Loaning out one of their more creative players-- one of not many there with a bit of spark Jermain Lens wasn't the best decision either. Agree about taking the opportunity of one of the biggest clubs in the world- who wouldn't take such an opportunity? As you say it wouldn't come around again. Sociedad though...foreign league but he by and large did an appalling job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinreliant Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 As much as I like Moyes. I think his confidence is very low at the moment. Having said that he knows us and we could be good for him and vice versa. Not sure it's the right time now though as has been said LJ is going nowhere.

Distortia Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 He must have lost a lot of his love for football recently. It's hard to feel sorry for him when he talks so much **** but he's in a pretty bad place right now, in football terms. If LJ doesn't work out next season, he would definitely be one of my top choices to be in charge, despite his recent failures. Personally I'd normally prefer a younger, more forward-thinking manager but a man of his experience could do a great job here. I think coming to a club that he (I'd assume) has a soft spot for could do him the world of good, and help get his love for management back. He'd certainly give his all here, I think. He also has some great footballing contacts which is always helpful in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if we lost our 'up and coming head coach who has attracted interest from Premier League clubs' to Sunderland, they can look forward to a record breaking losing run, personal verbal attacks on players and no acceptance of getting things totally wrong! But somehow I suspect he is not going to get the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Not getting involved in the LJ bit but there is no doubt that Moyes has badly damaged his reputation over recent years. Not so much in his brief time at Man U where he had a thankless task in taking over from a serial trophy winner (and without the benefit of favourable refereeing decisions the way Ferguson could always virtually rely on them) but definitely at Sociedad and Sunderland. If his time in Spain wasn't great, this season was an absolute disaster. Nearly all his Sunderland signings were utter garbage, his team repeatedly turned in truly awful displays and he came across as either delusional, often claiming they had been better than they were or a fatalist, seemingly accepting the inevitability of relegation months ago. Logic would dictate The Championship is where he should be managing now but the atmosphere at Sunderland was poisonous towards him by season's end so I'm not sure there will be many takers out there any time soon.

Why thank you Peg, I hadn't considered that positive approach. Since I heard I've been going around muttering and kicking everything that moves, or doesn't. I've cancelled my weekend away in Sunderland mentally, that's one bloody fixture I won't be looking for now! I actually feel quite depressed. I fully believe he will take a job at a Championship club now, it's the only way to rebuild himself unless he goes to Scotland. But I also believe we won't have the guts or the drive to go and get him, THAT'S the depressing thing, he's going yo slip through our fingers again. #MakingRedMGutted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
