Do you know something we donā€™t about the 2019/20 Manager of the Year Award? It hasnā€™t been announced yet and is likely to be between Wilder and Klopp

Moysie was a very experienced Manager. Preston North End, then Everton. Everton is a huge job and a huge club, one of the founder members of the Football League in 1888/89. Everton had 9 leagues on the board to 7 for Man U before Rupert Murdoch invented soccer in 1992/93. Moysie had established them as a solid Top 6 side on a fraction of the budget of the elite coterie of super franchises.

Moysie didnā€™t stand a chance though. He wasnā€™t a foreigner, Senior players sneering at him calling him ā€˜Evertonā€™ and fickle fans on his back.

Coach Oleā€™s guff about the Sir Alex years and the United Way has bought him time over the first 18 months, despite little improvements since he took over. If he doesnā€™t win the League next season with the level of investment there has been in assembling his team, the questions will surely be asked then of the wisdom of appointing a manager whoā€™s only managerial experience outside of the part time leagues in Norway, was getting Cardiff City relegated.

Moyse failed in every job heā€™s ever been in. A complete dinosaur.

Itā€™s really great to see your passion on this subject, Dan. You are clearly heavily invested in the topic of Manchester United and I think everyone will appreciate the many, many thoughts and opinions you have shared on the matter in the last week or two.

It would have been hard to accept a pep come type replacing him Iā€™d imagine and playing tippy tappy football and winning all around them as well.

Regardless it should never have been his decision.

Why do you say he failed at Preston and Everton? They were the only two managerial jobs he had before he went to Man U and his outstanding record in those two jobs were the basis upon which he got the Man U job.

He lost the nerve for it after the debacle at Man Utd but heā€™s doing relatively well again with West Ham recently. Did a fine job with Everton.

He achieved absolutely nothing at Everton. No trophies and they never Over achieved. The premier league is easy enough to win and heā€™s never got within an arses roar of even a challenge.

He done nothing at Everton. People mistake mediocrity for consistency in sport a lot.

Heā€™s an awful manger.

Adnan Janujaz was another incredible talent that moyes destroyed. Playing him far too often as a youngster. Kids like him need to protected. OGS has developed greenwood well this season.

Took over a team who were 14th in the table and lifted them into the top 4 in 04-05 as well as numerous top 6 finishes. Seemed to lack that killer instinct to push them over the line and win an FA Cup or UEFA cup though.

Are you sure greenwood hasnā€™t played more than januzaj did in his first season. Chairman dan will pounce on an error like that

Going from 14th to 6th in the premier league is not achievement. Moyes is an embarrassment.

@BruidheanChaorthainn has said that Moysie was a failure at Preston and a failure at Everton, which I find a very strange comment.

In my book taking over a Preston side mid season in the relegation places of the third flight, keeping them up that season, then getting them promoted by winning the title to the second flight, then in the first season in the second flight just missing out on the Premier League and a return to the top flight for the first time since 1961after a play off final defeat is not failure.

No doubt @BruidheanChaorthainn will provide a detailed analysis of how Moysie was a failure at Preston. And probably throw in for good measure what a success Sir Bobby Charlton was in the near two years he was Preston manager, despite the minor blip of relegation.

Greenwood has mostly been a sub until post lock down.

He also wasnā€™t breaking into a real that won the title the previous season.

Cold hard facts are all thatā€™s going to matter here :grimacing::grimacing:

In Moyes first training camp he made the United team walk 2 km in some foreign country across a beach to training. He thought it would be relaxing. The players were mobbed by locals and needed the police to control the crowd. Ended up being a few hours late to their training.

As Rio said you could tell early on how small minded moyes was. He had No idea what he was at as man united boss.

Rio couldnā€™t get to a drug test in time :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:. Some man to talk
