But Moyes did have money. Not very much albeit but he spent over £40m on Yakubu and Fellaini.
Moyes thrived off being the underdog. He loved playing deep and counter-attacking football. At United you are expected to take the initiative and stamp your own authority on the game. You are also expected to buy top players, not also rans from the lower echelons of Premier League clubs. Fergie was an attacking manager, Moyes is a direct, defensive counter attacking manager.
There are no similarities between Fergie and Moyes at all other than the fact they are both Glaswegian, people made the same mistake when comparing AVB to Mourinho.
It's like giving a top 50 tennis player the best racquet in the world and asking him to go and beat top 5 tennis players. Difference being this isn't Space Jam, Like Mike etc. This is real life.
There's a small, but growing number of people starting to rapidly realise how overrated Moyes was and is.
