Quote from: danno on February 03, 2021, 10:59:29 AMI don't think he's a dinosaur. But I do think a comparison with MON is fair.I'm not saying he's better or worse, but there's not that much between them. When it comes to working with limited resources MON achieved similar levels of success at Leicester than Moyes did at Everton.And both were crap at Sunderland!Compare what MON had to spend at Villa Park and Moyes at Goodison yet MON was always was second best. Never rated either and was delighted when Moyes turned us down it the Championship. As for MON, even the Celtic fans were tired of his football and glad he left when he did (though not under the personal circumstances).

A very limited Manager, he drove Evertonians nuts with his constant safety first negativity. He tried the same at TTOD and see how that worked out.This West Ham team is doing what Everton did and will come up short.

I don't care if it's in jest or not but can we not ever use that term or abbreviation on here? It's repulsive.

He tried the same at TTOD and see how that worked out.This West Ham team is doing what Everton did and will come up short.Results at Everton were very good though and his stint at West Ham has turned them around (twice). Keeping West Ham in the division is the sum total of their boards ambition and he is comfortably achieving that on a limited budget. Once the fans get back in, he will come under a bit of pressure alright "We're West Ham and we play on the floor". Looking forward to this game.Yes he kept them there or there abouts but no Cigar, he did not push on and pretended he did not spend money which was rubbish. The football was dull.

Looking forward to this game.Yes he kept them there or there abouts but no Cigar, he did not push on and pretended he did not spend money which was rubbish. The football was dull.The football was dull at times but it was still football that got results with likes of Fellaini and Cahill benefitting from direct play. But he still had some talented footballers in those teams, likes of Pienaar, Baines, Coleman, Lescott, Arteta, Jagielka. Could mix it physically and play some decent stuff. Likes of Stones and Stones were sold on for huge money too.He surely was working off a lower budget than MON at the same time and finishing higher? They did make the top 4 one year but couldnt get through the qualifiers I think. He also left the club in a good spot unlike MON did with us.
Exactly like MON but not as much of a c***.
Certainly out witted Dean tonight.
