I'd normally have thought of Moyes as a nice safe option to give us some stability and some boring mid-table positions. But now I worry how much his 'failure' since leaving Everton may affect him.

The bloke is a walking disaster. Don't go near with a barge pole.

If we went outside for a manager in the football league I like the guy at Boro, he seems to have done a good job there. Can't believe the negativity towards Moyes though, all things considered. He would not be an exciting appointment for sure, but winning some games and not being turned over before a ball is kicked each week would be refreshing.

I guess after the last 5 years something a bit boring and stable is quite appealing.

I think the main objection to Moyes is not that he is stable and boring but the opposite. he seems the same kind of high risk  manager we have gone through before.

His managerial results the past few years have been Villaesque. Right now his team is above the relegation zone on goal difference.

I think if he was someone who had been solid and doing well his entire career there would be a different tone. But as of today trading Sherwood for Moyes seems like a minor upgrade at best. he did fantastic at Everton (with wobbles) but has been pretty damn poor since.

Admittedly I refuse to watch ManU and I have seen maybe one RS game since he took over so I cant comment on how they are playing but certainly the results are not good.

Agreed. I hate the idea of Pulis or Allardyce but there's a grain of truth in their reputations for guaranteeing survival - they've moved clubs enough times to demonstrate a record. Moyes had a long time at Everton, which appeared to be the right club for him, followed by failure at two cubs. There's nothing to suggest he's right for us.

He did though improve Sociedad considerably last season. They had 9 points from 11 games and finished with 46. Not a bad return from that position last season. Not sure how he is a walking disaster, or indeed not proved himself.

Moyes is a bigger gamble than giving Tim more time. No thanks.

Seriously. Moyes, who had a 43% win record at Everton in the premier league over 9 years, and a 53% one at Man United in the premier league, and then went to Spain and took a side from 9 points in 11 to 46 in 38, is more of a gamble than a bloke who has lost 10 of his last 12 and wants to be Alan Pardew.

Wow.

Admitting they aspire to be Pardew is just the final nail in his coffin.

You're right. There's no gamble involved in keeping Sherwood. Relegation is guaranteed.

I'm not a big fan of Moyes but with all due respect that really is complete nonsense.
