The People's Forum: I think they're very similar

Which teams in the premier league would hire Moyes ?

Doesn't sound like he's getting many offers

This seem familiar?

…but, as he is, I’d FAR rather him in charge than Dyche.

Tactically more aware and astute. His teams actually try and play football (both at West Ham and towards the end of his time with us, he built two good footballing sides).

It’s easy to point to one bad season with an awful Sunderland team; it’s just as easy to point to how he turned us from perennial relegation candidates into a top seven team, or how he kept West Ham up, turned them into a top eight team (and won a European trophy).

As for Baines, Cahill, Fellaini, Soucek, Coufal…didn’t he spot and sign all of them?

I refuse to believe there’s not someone better out there - but I’m absolutely certain Moyes would get more out of this squad than Dyche. He’s a far superior manager in every way.

We don’t have a Baines, Cahill or Fellaini. Or a Coufal or Soucek.

…..then I think it’s hitting a critical mass and his position will become untenable very fast, possibly by Saturday evening.

I think it’s a mistake in football terms ( I’d like to get 12 games in and see ) but at the same time if the fans are done with him it’s hard to find a way back.

In normal circumstances it would be simple of course but the ownership situation is what it is.

Moyes will give us more of the same. Maybe that’s enough with the promising signs going forward and the players to return.

But it will almost certainly mean 2 changes of coach in short succession.

The new players look like they can add something but the tactics will not get the best out of this group of players. No easy answer to it as I don’t believe there is any plan beyond Dyche and I don’t know who could replace him on a short-term contract other than Moyes, who would be equally unsuitable.
