Aston Villa Sack Manager Ads

[Somniloquism]

Moyes has had an impossible act to follow this season but if we had the chance to get him in now we should take it. The guy did a fantastic job at Everton. Don't let his short period at Manchester United cloud your opinion.

When he took over at Everton, he had a decent set of players and Rooney coming through the youth. According to most on here, we have the worst players ever to grace the shirt and definitely no Rooney in our youth setup.

It's all about opinion I suppose but I think if we had the opportunity of having David Moyes as our manger I don't think we'd be so well off for other qualified options that we wouldn't be foolish not to take it.

When Moye gets sacked there'll be a lot of sympathy for the impossible job he was landed with. He won't have that sense of ridicule that Steve McLaren or (excuse the sacrilege) Sir Graham were dogged with. I think he'll end up like a rich man's Graham Turner - a perfectly good manager at a certain level who found himself doing a job he didn't have the experience for.

Everton have had the best years from Moyes.  He was a young and hungry new manager, able to mould a team that suited his style and that could mitigate his tactical limitations.

As much as I would have been pleased with his appointment after MON or Houllier, he unfortunately has the air of someone passed their prime and something of a spent force. I can't help but pity the bloke for having been given the shitty end of the stick, but that just makes it even harder to imagine him being the one to reinvigorate us now.

Some of his best signings - Tim Cahill (£1.5m), Mikel Arteta (£3m), Joleon Lescott (£5m), Phil Neville (£3.5m), Tim Howard (£3m), Phil Jagielka (£4m), Steven Pienaar (£2m), Leighton Baines (£6m) Seamus Coleman (£60k). Exactly the kind of price range we are shopping in now - he knows how to spot value for money*. I think he'd be great for us.

* This may have gone slightly wrong at Man U.

He's lived in the same house he's had since he was manager of Preston. I think he has become set in his ways and set in his ideas.

Anyway, I hope the next manager of Newton Heath spends a couple of hundred million on a load of crap players and makes things worse.

Only twelve months ago, David Moyes was considered good enough to replace one of the most successful managers in the history of football at one of the biggest clubs in the world. Has he really turned into a pile of shite overnight?

Everything that is wrong with today's football. We didn't even get to song Moyesey on the dole Moyesey Moyesey on the dole.

[kippaxvilla2]

In all seriousness I meant my first point.  12 months ago he was handpicked by the greatest manager they have ever had.  And now he's being bombed out.  Manure were not going to be relegated in four years.  Why then could he not have been afforded the same luxury ferguson was.  Poxy money, poxy sky, poxy modern fan.  Annoyed.

[PeterWithesShin]

Difference between then and now is purely money, money, money. There was no European football for English clubs, never mind the cash cow that is the Cheats League, when Fergie was struggling, and not much in the way of TV money either.

Louis van Gaal will be hilarious. Roaming around, shouting at everyone like a pop-eyed lunatic

I honestly think the cheeky twats will go for Martinez

That seems to be the conclusion that United are coming to.

I would love to see him prove them wrong, but the timing just feels wrong for what both the Villa and Moyes need right now.  We need someone who will be able to take decisive action and build a new squad, he needs time to go away, lick his wounds and get his mojo back.

That would be quite funny.

My understanding was that the rationale for appointing Moyes was continuity as they expected the Backroom staff and the infrastructure that had been built by Siralex  to remain in place. For whatever reason this did not happen and he ended up with a new coaching team. As you say it looks like it has been too much for him.
