I want this noted right, and I will be back here next season - I have stated on here before that Moyes is a decent manager and just picked his jobs poorly.
He will do well given time at West Ham.

He'll rebuild our club and do the things that should've been done 10 years ago. No one has succeeded post Fergie at United, who had seen the writing on the wall and knew his squad was ****. Outspent by LVG and Mourinho for not much better results. Real Sociedad were sacking managers every few months and Sunderland was a basket-case post *****. Has done a decent job both times for us, turning an unfit demoralised squad into one with some energy and belief.
He'll get ****ed by the board sooner or later though, our managers always do.
it was noted, although the season's not over yet, I think we can be smug.
This actually has aged well. Man Utd, unsurprisingly, missed this guy. SAF picked the guy but they (Utd fans) were unrealistic. Fantasy left with SAF and reality has knocked most Man Utd fans senseless. Almost a decade later and some still measure their team by Fergie's standards. Moyes will never be SAF or Klopp or Guardiola or the like but he is far better than people think. With time, providing they aren't raided (always a possibility), I think he can build something special at West Ham.
260 million he has spent these last 2 seasons and he's fighting a relegation battle.
That was the season before last. He shouldn't be anywhere near a relegation battle with the money he's spent on players.
Been a hard year or so tbh, but I try to see things in their context, because context is all. There's been a lot of football played since the quarantine, we havn't had much rotation in the matchday squad due to a lack of quality in depth, and had 2 semi-final runs in Europe, players have looked absolutely ****ed at times. We bought in a fairly large group of players to try and integrate, but injuries to a few of them hit us fairly hard, Scamacca for example, is out for the season, and we started the season with 4 injured and 1 half-fit CB, it seemed that every time one came back from injury another would get injured. Bowen and Antonio have been well of form all season, but lately have been starting to hit the form of 20/21.
I'll back a manager as long as the team play for him, I wavered after the Newcastle game, and think he may be gone in the summer, but the players are still playing for him, so he still get my support.
