BRISTOL86 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Excellent, hopefully people can now stop talking like there's a chance in hell he would come here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 As I have said if SL had any sense whatsoever, he would offer Moyes the job until the end of the season, including a huge bonus to keep us up. I would have thought that it might suit everybody involved, it would give the fans a boost, it would give Moyes a chance to see how the club works (or doesn't) and give him the summer to either eye up another job possibly in the prem or take our job on. I think SL owes us a 'name' this time around not the usual run of the mill failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffiN94 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Although I highly doubt he will join us , what's the point in linking an article over a month old? It doesn't even give much information apart from the fact he had offers and isn't interested in the Swansea job. As I said , I don't see him joining us though.

shelts Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Unrealistic to think we could get Moyes without giving him massive amounts of money, if they did I bet he would have more resources than Cotts which sucks , maybe the club has had a gamble and its now backfired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 "I was fortunate to have my best years early on at Everton, but I had one good year and then one bad year until we sorted it out and got stable. I can’t see how the owners think that any manager coming in can suddenly make thing better." Sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I think that if Moyes were to take this job it would be career suicide. As a manager in decline you have to be very careful not to take a step too far down the food chain because if you fail then all options above become unavailable. Sadly we're far too far down the food chain and my opinion is that it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows the club, area etc. He's coming to a club who are currently struggling so any improvement is a bonus. He also probably just wants to return to football management and enjoy it again see where the ride takes him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL as I have already said owes us a name someone who we can get behind from day one and not somebody else's lower league failure. All I want is for SL to ask the question "would you come here until the end of the season and then see what happens?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Moyes his next job is crucial and if he's going to drop into the Championship he'd want it to be at a club that is already well set up to win promotion: Burnley, Derby, Middlesbrough for example. With Lansdown's backing then somebody could get City promoted but it would be much harder and would do no more for the reputation of a manager like David Moyes than getting, say, Derby promoted would. Pearson is a different matter as he doesn't have quite the same record in the Premier League, but he'd still want to think carefully about it.

But neither of those jobs are available and won't be will they?, the best he could hope for is maybe the under achieving Wolves perhaps or of course Cardiff ha, ha, ha.

cheshire_red Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Moyes has everything this club surely desires. I would be asking what it would take. And that would include a large wedge to keep us up and a massive wedge to get us up to the money league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be totally honest here, the last 4 managers when appointed have all been of the marmite persuasion, it's about time that we have a manager with a bit more of a pedigree, somebody that from the word go the vast majority of the fanbase can get behind, some of the names being put forward are frankly depressing IMHO. To be honest I find Pearson a bit odd at times, but no more than say Jose, I suppose it's because he is English that makes it seem weirder but hey he does have the pedigree and I believe will give the fans renewed hope. PS:- But FFS do it quick we need quality signings in this fast diminishing window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodbarmyarmy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 "but if the right job comes up that really excites me I'm ready to go." What can be more exciting than a sleeping giant in a new 27k stadium and an owner willing to provide millions to the right manager in order to achieve his dream of premiership status ... ?? Don't get the "why would he come here" statements...... clear as day that he would if we sell it to him..... Remember what god did on the eighth day people...... he did it for a reason and losing to Mansfield WAS NOT IT.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Getting him would certainly get the feelgood factor back, and put a Bristol City on the sporting map so that's two boxes ticked there for SL. ultimately though we had our chance and took Pulis, if I were Moysie I'd tell them to shove it.

ashton_fan Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 He might just be willing to do a short-term job until the end of the season, it's only just over 3 months, if he didn't keep us up nobody could blame him but if he did would only increase his chance of getting a job at a big club. He might just be a bit bored so I think there would be a chance in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBerkeleyBoy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Don't get me wrong would love him here (also came once but we choose Pubis!) but wont happen he will go to prem team or abroad. May I remind you all he only played here for 2 seasons, not as if it was his whole career! Ok he kept in contact and went to the Freight Rover reunion but that's because hes a nice chap but when it comes to taking a job he will be thinking higher than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
