If after everything it ends up being falling out with Sullivan over transfers that gets him sacked. :lol:

There are many reasons I'd understand the club going in a different direction, I don't agree, but I understand. But if it was that, we'd be a joke.

Sullivan's wet dream is a yes man. I don't think Moyes is a yes man so I can easily see this being the reason he gets the boot rather than bad results etc.

Nope. He may have scouted him, but Willie McStay tipped Moyes off about Coleman. That said, he’s obviously a good scout as he worked at Everton and then Chelsea.

People, ffs stop going on about Poch and what he did at Spurs a few years ago.
Of course, it’s perfectly acceptable to go on about anything and everything that Moyes did at Everton a couple of decades ago.

One is relevant to us (and this thread!). The other is about Pochettino managing in the Champions League for years on end and winning a league title at PSG.

You just have to read Pink Palermo's message on the match thread to see how unrealistic getting in a someone in the Poch bracket is at the moment.

You basically need a manager who is good at spreading money very thinly across a squad and still getting good results. Pretty much Moyes in a nutshell.

Which is exactly what Man Utd did with their kids, and Spurs gave a very good account of themselves with theirs. It can be done and if any club deserves to see their kids having a go it has to be us with the players we've produced.

Yeah. But Man Utd was lightning in a bottle, like pretty much every such talented crops of youngsters. How much have Man Utd produced since the class of 92? Producing great young players is great in theory, but tough in practice. Its even harder with Chelsea and Man City hoovering up talent from all over.

I got the point, and the joke, but I have to moderate what comes after! Just look at the cuddle session that's started. I hope you can understand that.

Honestly it makes sense. DS loves to stick his hands into transfers, but was willing to take a step back here because DM had created a perfect storm where he was a. getting results, b. not spending in January, c. wasn’t publicly complaining or blaming DS and DG over lack of January spending, and d. had most fans’ support.

When those factors start to disappear, and DM still isn’t tolerating DS’s desire to make those attacking signings, DS will think that he is able to can him and put a yes-man in…

Make of it what you willl
“Rubbish,” Sullivan told Hammers News regarding reports that Moyes is on the brink and they had fallen out.

“We stand behind the manager.”

This was just hours after the Football Insider story appeared.
