Have to say, I'd never really wanted Moyes. He's not my type of manager at all - there's something in the dour, cheerless, safety-first way he sets his teams out which makes me really apathetic towards football.

I agree, Moyes' style is very cautious but there is a chance that he will reflect on the Man U experience and also what is being said at Everton and think that he needs to take his foot off the break a bit. 

Regardless, I'd prefer us to go down a more european route and get a DoF in and then a new head coach.  Neither role suites Moyes.

Frankly I think there's very little chance of that. His chastening at United will just have the effect of hardening his views - if he were the type to change, he'd still be at United.

I'm not totally convinced by the director of football set-up because if there's a disagreement between the DoF and the coach you can end up signing players who don't work in the coach's tactics. Frankly I just want a better manager.

There was hope, at times that Mcleish might take his foot off the break a bit when he was at Villa.

He'll have to go.  His name just doesn't scan well when singing 'Claret and Blue Army'.

We all wanted it to work, he is a Villa man after all.

But after 2 hours in the job it's clear he's not up to it.

I'm just tired of his negative ways.  Get him out before he can do any more long term damage to our once great club!
