Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
He's a great coach, but his stints at WBA and Reading seemed to count against him. Did a fantastic job at Kilmarnock.Gazmundo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 4:57 pm I'm amazed Steve Clarke hasn't been headhunted by a PL club.

No manager in the world would ever say that, that makes zero sense unless he’s trying to f*** the place from the insidepsychoscoredthelot wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:17 pm I wouldnt bet on that - I know he went into the U21s dressing room after a game and said well played today but it wont matter anyway cos you wont get picked for the 1st team squad no matter how well you play

Yes, it gets dull when someone repeats the same “spiel” everyday, doesn’t it?

Privately, Moyes told Ashby & his agent that if he wasn't going to sign the contract that was offered, he wouldn't bother putting him in the first team because he'd rather give minutes to young players that are willing to show commitment to the club & are willing to graft before getting the big boy money.
Agent twists story into it being said to the whole U21 squad because, that's what suits his agenda.
Is it just me or is this far, far more likely..?
Moyes goes to loads of U21 games, in fact, it was one of the reasons I got on the bandwagon initially.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
That is a consequence of being in the relegation zone having spent a fortune on players. Our league form has been poor for longer than just this season.Ironing Board wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 4:20 pm Its the same old negative spiel every single day.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
facts are we have been poor for well over a year and deservedly sit in the relegation zone. other threatened teams have a go and show fighting spirit which is all you can do and what we as fans want from WHU. moyes seems to suck the life out of all of them.
he has mishandled rice and played him wrongly. he is the best DM in the country and yet moyes doesnt get him to play that way. consequently rice ends up in no mans land and less effective.
we have spent 170m and moyes has made us worse; takes some doing.
It is good to hear that the players are unhappy because whatever moyes is getting them to do these past 12 months it is not working.
you cant use the excuse of the ECL as the teams we have played have been poor and are bottom 8 PL standard at best.
moyes should have been sacked at the WC break. sullivan is too tight to do that so we continue to drift towards relegation.
no one expects us to be top 4 but we should be better than bottom 3.
moyes plays negative cautious football that is awful to watch.
when did we last outclass a team. forest we beat 4-0 but we had some luck and were even for a long period of the match.
we are awful under moyes who has been found out with his old style everton tactics.
I hope he goes in the summer as I cant stand another season of truly awful performances whether its in the chAMPIONSHIP OR NOT !

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
Agreed. It amazes me how so many fans just assume that it's the players who are the victims and are being mistreated by the manager. The reality is that managers and players have very few direct one to one conversations these days. Most elite PL players are soft spoilt arseholes with entourages who can't handle criticism and leak their moans and groans through their agents.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
You honestly believe that Moyes said those very exact words and nothing else, no context, or anything, all as perfectly regaled by an agent, who has no hint of bias or motive? Surprised Moyes didn't also wave a wad of cash at the kids, sticking up two fingers at each of them, saying here's what you'll never earn.psychoscoredthelot wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:17 pm I wouldnt bet on that - I know he went into the U21s dressing room after a game and said well played today but it wont matter anyway cos you wont get picked for the 1st team squad no matter how well you play

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
From BBC gossip page:
Former Spain boss Luis Enrique, 52, says he would like to manage in the Premier League with a team that is able to do "important things".
Thats him of any list then.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
Clearly b*llocks. It wouldn't surprise me if the words Moyes used were nothing like what has been quoted. Probably a bitter player who couldn't handle a bit of constructive criticism. Mubama came out and thanked Moyes in the Larnaca post match interview but I guess that doesn't fit with many people's narrative.steveyrockstar wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 9:17 am You honestly believe that Moyes said those very exact words and nothing else, no context, or anything, all as perfectly regaled by an agent, who has no hint of bias or motive?

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
I think the comment was referring to Nolan saying that, not Moyes - suggesting that Nolan was not in agreement with Moyes about stuff, and thus he could be the reported 'mole' from the podcast videosteveyrockstar wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 9:17 am You honestly believe that Moyes said those very exact words and nothing else, no context, or anything, all as perfectly regaled by an agent, who has no hint of bias or motive?

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
I was sure the original comment said Nolan said it too. Nobody said it was gospel either, just another thing to ignore or take with a pinch of salt. Not sure why a few are so overly defensive of a bloke that treats us with more disdain by the week

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
So the claim is that it was something Nolan told one of the kids as a dig at Moyes?
I only saw the post that alleged what had been said. I presumed it was referring to something Moyes had told kids directly, which a manager would never say, not without some greater context.
A good example of how misinformation can easily spread.

i posted that i dond't think the mole could be Nolan and then whoever posted that story replied to that saying it could be because he had heard xyz
if the claims that the coaching staff don't like Moyes are true, then it would fit that narrative - even if said in 'jest' and a flippant comment on the state of the situation rather than a explicit dig at moyes specifically
