Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Those words from Moyes, and he way he has said them, sound very much to me like a man that has already made his mind up. He's gone at the end of the season. If this is the case, or if he is staying then a decision needs to be made...IMHO we cannot wait until he makes up his mind. If I was the board...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I agree Chalks, but having Sullivan as an owner here doesn't excuse the fact that at times Moyes' tactics, selections and in-game decisions are poor. As bad a our owners are, there must be some culpability from Moyes too as manager. We may not be able to progress much off the pitch and thanks to the...

Re: ✍️ Welcome Lucas Paquetá - Our Brazilian Magnifico

Similar to what was spread around Rice... Sulli telling everyone he was available, then talking fees and then he's gone. Same here with Paqueta... Unhappy.... Release clause... Gone.

We're just stirring up interest for the Summer with these stories

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I wouldn't say it was optimism. I certainly don't agree with the way things are done, I just refuse to believe that Sullivan would do anything other than keep on a manager who is literally the perfect man for the way he insists on running the club. Sullivan is a lot of things, but he isn't stupid, ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

You want a manager who accedes to playing time demands from a player? Would be rather foolish to give such assurances beyond telling someone you see them as a first team player, especially when they were so untested. I would say it worked out alright as it meant we got Paqueta instead. Onana looks ...

Didn't he specifically say no to Onana's playing time demands? Which suggests he does have some involvement

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Moyes won a trophy, no manager has managed that in 40 years. By some twist in the matrix, i think he's also managed to make me begin to feel apathy about the club i love, and no one managed that in 50 years either. Sacking him now would be a mistake though, our bed is made. Doubtless other people m...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I think I've said it before and I'll say it again. Moyes is Sulli's best mate, never complains and gets on with given what he is given. The board won't have any appetite to sack him or replace him whilst he is keeping us in Europe and/or maintains a decent league position. The fans aren't going awa...

Re: January transfer window

Have we actually said that we pulled the deals on purpose though? If we have, then it is bad enough, if we scuppered the deals and have hidden behind feigned incompetence, then that is a new level of shithousery... To use two loyal professional players like that, to not inform them that the deals we...

Re: January transfer window

What’s that, £50m a year? Meanwhile our fans are expecting us to spend that and play tiki-taka whilst competing with the top 6 who drop that, or 2 times that, amount on a single player. But they sell players too...we have paid 35m+ 7 times in that period Haller, Zouma, Paqueta, Aguerd, Kudus, Alvar...

Closer to 55m - difference of 275m over 5 seasons - not including the sales of Fornals and Benny's loan fee/sale so call it 52.5m net spend per season ;) hardly pennies

Since 2019 we have spent around 560m and sold 290m worth of players....not sure that Moyes hasn't been backed to be fair. Last season he was backed to the tune of 190m Not a fan of Sullivan by any means, I've not stepped foot in the new stadium or bought any official merchandise in protest, but Moye...
