Next Manchester United Manager

[croppy_boy]

@Horsebox

It’s a nuts appointment in my opinion. They are taking a guy on who has won nothing at as a manager, has no experience of managing in the CL and no tradition of playing attractive attacking football. He is coming from a club where expectations are low and not winning anything is acceptable and going to a club where he will be expected to win every competition he enters. He seems to be getting the job on the basis that he is Scottish and is happy to work away with Fergie looking over his shoulder. I think he is a good manager but at the end of the day his achievements amount to keeping a club who are in the top 10 wage bill payers in the top 10 in the EPL most seasons-a decent achievement but enough to land one of the biggest jobs in world football? Massive, massive gamble.

He won’t be expected to win every competition he enters. He should be expected to at least enter every competition though, something Ferguson didn’t do.

In fairness to Moyes there’s a bit of a myth building around him about the wage bills at Everton during his time there. I believe their current wage bill is at the high end of the spectrum but the points per wages earned by Everton have been consistently in the top 5 or 6 clubs during his tenure.

Manchester United have generally fared better and various teams have dropped in and out of that equation (usually due to anomalies in their points: e.g. Reading’s good season) but Moyes has been well above par for league position based on the wages outlay at Everton.

Don’t get me wrong I think Moyes is a good manager and I’m not trying to knock his achievements at Everton but I am wondering if his CV qualifies him to manage probably one of the three biggest clubs in world sport. Just think it’s a big gamble is all.

Moyes has, like Ferguson, benefited from longevity. It’s much easier to keep being successful/consistent with one club over a long period of time. The great managers will always seek new challenges as after a certain period of time, it becomes too easy.

who was the Danish (I think) centre half that Moyes signed who barely played a game for everton as he was absolute muck?..

Usually after getting sacked.

Moyes confirmed on myoofc facebook only for post to be removed immediately.

In somewhat related news, position soon to be available in myoofc media dept.
