Tips / Bets Moyes

I'd like to be a fly on Tan's wall if Malky got hired ..lol

 

It will not be the obvious, though Rodgers would seem the obvious choice, he left with good and amicable handshake from our board, I could see Huw making the call, it would certainly steady the ship and most of the players have played well for him, but we will have some other surprises on Huw's selection short list for sure.......

 

Rangel ?

 

Please no! No in house from the player camp........

 

Hopefully not - but you said Huw and a surprise!

Plus Rangel would be cheap

 

We cannot afford cheap, but here's a tip, the next manager will not be from the UK, he will be foreign........

 

French I'm told

 

Close but no............

 

Must be Laudrup ....

 

Moyes will be our manager for next game

 

Anyone checked the Guest Register at Morgans last week ....

 

Moyes has probably checked in

 

Allegedly spotted there last week.....

Probably along with Elvis and Lord Lucan

 

No Camel Jockeys......

It has to be someone from the outside, a clean sweep, lay down the law, no buddies or cliques. I wouldn't want Moyes long term because of his playing style but he would certainly instil discipline and order in the short term and I think it would be enough to just keep us up.

If it was from inside - Pep? Might explain why he didn't make it to Brentford

 

Didn't someone say recently that beatnik has gone. Sure I seen him yesterday at the end of the game

 

BBC Radio Wales last night said sources close to Moyes stated he was NOT interested in the Swansea job.

 

Hope that's not true ....

 

Wouldn't be against Moyes (however, most certainly not 100% for him either) - he knows the British game well, and despite what people are saying about his style of play, when he was at Everton we got played off the park by them on all 4 occasions - losing 1-0, 0-2, 0-3 and drawing 0-0 with possession and shot stats heavily in Everton's favour each time. Despite the fact that people seem to think that his style of play wasn't great, it was by no means awful á la Stoke under Pulis. He brought in and utilised some fantastic players like Cahill, Osman, Fellaini, Pienaar, Naismith, Baines...the list goes on, famously doing it with very little financial backing. He even gave Rooney his debut at 16 years old, showing that he knows how to utilise his better youth players (unlike us who farmed Gorre off to Den Haag and Barrow to Blackburn (had Dyer not left, he'd still be there)).

Alright, things didn't work out at United - but lets be honest, becoming the immediate successor to Sir Alex was a poisoned chalice for anyone. I think even Mourinho would have struggled to make it work out. And he's failed at Real Sociedad - but certainly not the first British manager to try and fail in another country. When you don't speak the language and have never worked in Spain, that was always going to be tough. However, the Premier League is his bread and butter - he knows the league inside out, what it takes to succeed, how to get the best of players, how to beat the top teams, how to be consistent at beating the lesser teams, and most importantly, he took a struggling team in Everton to become a consistent Top 6 team during his decade in charge.

Say what you want about Moyes, but I personally think that to just say "no, thanks", "please God no", [his style of play is] "dire" is the most short-sighted assessment of his credentials there can be. By all means have the opinion that you don't want him here, but a fair argument as to why you're against him would help me see why and perhaps dissuade me from being impartial on his name being mentioned.
