If everything is pointing to Moyes, and his staff, leaving at the end of the season it's crazy for him not to have gone sooner. We'd be better off with no-one. I like Moyes and I hope the rest of the season pans out as best it can, for the supporters of course, but for him as well. But if the team at least think he's out the door then that's a massive problem.

It's dead man walking syndrome. Trying to think of a time when that last worked out for a Club fighting relegation.

If you’re going to sack him in the summer sack him now.

Some circus this club.

This happens every single bloody time. “Club sources”.
Not really sure him thinking that could possibly make his performances any worse this season... In fact him not caring may improve us..

If Moyes was to give Nolan a playing contract and chuck him in the side we could start filming Partidge’s idea of “Inner City Sumo”.

If we get relegated it will significantly hamper is career prospects
If we stay up and he wins a European trophy it will massively improve his career prospects

there is a lot riding on the rest of the season for Moyes whether he stays with us or not

Given the contempt people like you hold for the European competition we are in why are you so concerned about relegation? If you don't want us competing for places in Europe we may as well be in the Championship.

Reputation is on the floor he relegates us. He blame shifted the Sunderland one but he isn’t gonna be able to do that if we go. He needs us to stay up to get a sniff at any future decent gigs.

He'll get another PL job regardless of the ending of our current season.

I imagine he’ll fancy winning a bunch of trophies at Celtic if he moves on. He’s proven himself down here and is unlikely to get a massive job again like Man Utd.

Why not win a few trebles, a few Champions League campaigns then sign off with a Scotland stint?

Will he? Relegating a side after spending 150m. Maybe he will but it won’t be a decent one, most likely another relegation fight. I see him taking a break and maybe getting the Celtic or Scotland job that’s about it.

The Celtic job, believe it or not, is a massive appointment.

It’s a big club granted, is it a big job? I mean Leicester went and took their manager when they was on a for a treble treble.

Yep. I would put money that if Moyes leaves in the summer he will be back at a premier league club sitting between 20th-15th trying to escape relegation by February.

What do you mean by decent though? We became decent partly because of his impact.

That doesn't mean he is right for us now

It’s a different thing though. Rodgers is still quite young and used Celtic as rehabilitation. Moyes is a former player near the end of his career. Would be a good way to go out on a high.

Ye I have to agree the Celtic job can’t be classed as a big job this side of the border.

I agree we did on his watch but his reputation will be an all time low imo if he manages to relegate this group of players. What I mean by decent is say villa, Leicester, Newcastle. All I could see him getting is a newly promoted side who are prepared to take the risk on him to stay up. He is basically gonna be another sam who openly admits he didn’t wanna go in and build a club and I think Moyes will be down that route

I agreed it would be a good way for him to go. But truth is medium size clubs down here take Celtics best players & managers. Maybe it’s better put that it isn’t a hard job.
