Moyes.   Yawn.  Not the man to inspire or get us up.

Honestly I find this attitude bizarre. If we got Moyes, having just been relegated, it would be a big statement.

That would be a whole new thread, who would be the 'one in the hole'?

Just cannot see Moyes coming in and shaking things up.   Paint drying.

See I genuinely don't understand the view, that having been relegated, that Moyes is beneath us. I think probably at least three quarters of the teams in the top flight would be happy with him.

I'd rather employ whoever made the gif as he is obviously a genius.

Moyes would suck the last life out off the club.

I'd love Moyes to come, it'd be a real coup for us.

Just can't see him taking us on though.  He'll end up back at Everton or, dare I say it, the Albion.

I'm torn really. Moyes could offer stability and perhaps something longer term. He'd also be able to attract decent players to come to us.

But the other part of me thinks we could do with a Thunderc**t like Pearson to come in with his shlanger out and dong slap our entire squad into shape. Pelt tea cups around the place but still command the respect of his squad (Whereas Keane for example always seems to alienate his squads, Pearson is well regarded by his players generally).

I really don't know whether we need to start with being more measured, or start by lobbing a grenade into the club.

I don't see why someone who is know for being meticulous, having high standards and making some decent transfers over the years would warrant such a statement.

He isn't going Albion. We're bigger than fucking that lot even in the league below. Our upside in getting back in to the PL is much higher than Albion wallowing around 11th-16th position year after year. If we sort ourselves out getting back into Europe in 3 years should be the minimum target.

True but I sadly don't see any candidates who could do the same and I'd go as far as saying this current job would even have been beyond SGT.

Based on what? What exactly are you seeing from the club that makes you think there is any life in it at the moment?
