Good to see Dave 'I Win' Moyes doing what he does best and not winning. I think he'll be the first Prem manager to get the boot this season.
Nailed on, closely followed by Parker who got lucky winning the playoffs with a squad that should have walked the league.
Have to admit I though little Scotty would be fairly safe as long as they weren't getting twatted evry week. Smith at Villa would be my next best bet, spent loads last year, just scraped staying up and have spent another 50 mil on a striker and keeper so pressure on imo.
Aye I’ve a feeling Villa be half decent this year. Watkins looks a proper striker to me, fee is madness but if he scores 10-12 they will be fine, they’ve some good players in the middle. They will concede a **** ton again though, that keeper is gonna be a busy boy, defence is poor.
He won’t take them down. They’ll bullet him soon enough. Sadly we won’t see him justifying relegation in a press conference
I work very close to their training ground and there was a rumour on Friday that he'd been sacked by Brady. Apparently she'd gone to discuss with him the sale of Diangana, but Moyes refused to meet her. She'd then tried to get into the dressing room and he'd told her to **** off / She'd overheard him slagging her off. She called him out and sacked him. Massive uproar from the players then 30 minutes later Sullivan turned up to apologise to him and said he hadn't been fired after all. Doubt there's any truth in it, but the hammers fans round here seem to actually like Moyes for some unfathomable reason.
Villa should have signed Wilson, £28m for a championship player ? how much would a 2020 Kevin philips be worth then !.
But they're in complete denial about him imo - they're focused on the owners, but the ****e signings, low morale and poor performances are on him.
That West Ham squad, ability wise, is top 10. When you’ve so many players who aren’t showing up that’s the man at the top, it has to be. Felipe Anderson is the biggest example, a beautiful player who shown over time he can absolutely do great things in the league. He’s not even bothering his arse. Haller scored twice for him midweek and he puts him on 88mins, dropped for a converted winger who plays his best football on the fall of a 3 or out wide, plays 5 at the back with a LB in asa CB. Its madness that he keeps getting work.
