    I hope Moyes stays. I think he's done a good job with a very thin squad at times. There have been setbacks, but we usually get a good reaction. The players work very hard under him, too.

    I've enjoyed watching us play under him, both going forward and (most of the time) looking a little more solid at the back. He hasn't been afraid to use Rice, even in big pressure games, and I don't think he'd be afraid to use any other big talents if he sees enough on the training ground.

    He's worked wonders with Arnie. I liked his no nonsense approach when Antonio was late for training. His interviews are always very frank and honest, while I like. He's quite positive, always looking up the table rather than down, too.

    I think a club doing its absolute best to keep a manager in place is really vital for player attitudes, too. I often think when a team keeps changing managers (ala Chelsea) the players don't mind throwing strops and throwing in the towel, as they know the manager will be cleared out long before them.

    Assuming he keeps us up ,& it's looking like he will, we should offer him a contract.I don't think yet another change will do the players any good & I'd like to see what he can do.Let him clear out what he sees as dead wood & give him some money.I just wish he'd play Hernandez more though & I fear we could lose him if he doesn't get more playing time.

    madrid I agree about Javier and with the rumour about Rondon he may well leave which IMHO will be a great pity. We have had players over the years that did very little outside the box but scored a lot I cannot see why Hernandez should be judged on a different set of criteria.

    Jorderz let's be honest , with ur username I stopped reading after u state u think he should stay ;wink ;run

    Think he should stay for job he’s done but also because he could probably work within the budget given although if he stays I think Hernandez and Carrol goes imo

    If he can offload AC he definitely deserves the job!

    If he can offload AC he deserves a knighthood

    Hopefully we can offload him he injuries are systemic...
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    His injury record (and his wage packet) is why no other team want him!

    What I don’t get is how AC can emerge unscathed after that ludicrous and frankly brilliant bicycle kick v Palace, yet can step out of the bath and be subsequently sidelined for 3 months...

    ;nonono I really didn't know my daily horse riding habit was so dangerous.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    That article ;lol

    the use of drills and chainsaws can lead to very severe injuries.

    ;doh

  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Injuries with chainsaws - who'd have thought that? ;biggrin

    My uncle once sawed through his thigh with a circular saw, but he said it didn't hurt until he saw the blood and then he noticed it was bad and was in agony

    sounds like me was playing football, had a massive gash from colliding with the fence down my leg. Didn't notice till someone pointed it out at which point after seeing it, it hurt like mad. Think when you running on adrenaline and consumed so much into something you just don't register the pain.

    He was very lucky it was only a circular saw and not a straight saw or it could've... Ahhh forget it, it was funny when in my head ;run ;wink

    I’m still of the view that the jury should still be out on Moyes. There’s been good, but also bad and indifferent. We will likely finish with a points tally starting with a “3” IMO. And his win percentage sits in the twenties. Really nothing to write home about. I don’t think he should be taken as a given to stay on just because not changing our manager might be the desire. There are quite a few out there who are doing a similar or better job then him with a lesser quality squad.

    I wanted Moyes to be given a 3 year contact weeks ago but based on what he did last night I would rather they didn't.

    He made school boy errors last night that a man of his experience should not have done.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    His whole period has been frustratingly inconsistent and I don’t see him ironing out consistent problems. I feel like we’d just have the same issues next season with him. I’m not sure I’d be upset about him staying but I feel no excitement about next season.
  • ClaretandBlueforLifeClaretandBlueforLife
    Know what you mean Outcast ;ok
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Last night it was % he wanted to not give Stoke 3 points rather than win 3 points.

    I think he will be happy with the result...

    I still think we need to give him a preseason to judge where he can take us, he is fire fighting at the moment.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    I don’t agree - pre- seasons are no sort of an indicator. Make a decision at the end of the season when other options will most likely be available.
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Baracks... I didn't mean just a pre season ;lol we use this term to indicate a "full" season in charge.

    Or at least I thought we did.... ;hmm
  • MarkNobleLocalHeroMarkNobleLocalHero
    My feelings about Moyes keep on altering but I think like Outcast, I wouldn't be upset if he stayed but neither if he left. The teams performances under him are a bit "all over the place" but yes he is firefighting this season and may get better with a free season to himself with his own problems to solve. Atm I realise I am still annoyed about last night so...Hell with it let him stay err no get rid ;fence

    After last night im not so sure

    Honestly that was shocking...Moyes played for the draw
    We could still be relegated...we stil lhavw arsenal, City and united still to play

    Hernandez has 9 goals this season in the EPL and coupdnt get in untill the 75 min...embaressing

    I like that he seems to have made us fitter and has worked a system...but hes nit a long term target and his inability to proactively infulence gamed is shocking for a modern day manager

    I also dont trust him in the transfer market

    It would be a no from me...but he has 5 games left....and also there arent a queue of highly rated managers out there
  • alderzalderz
    I'm now at the point where I don't think he is the answer.

    I think that we have a very imbalanced squad and we need to have a desired style of play if we are going to have a good summer in the market. From what I've seen from Moyes, I don't believe that he will take us in the right direction.
