Do not get me wrong, I would hate to see him go there, but I would not be surprised, the benches are simply too strong elsewhere and he would not be guaranteed a place

Moyes was given a huge kitty in the summer and oversaw a record spend, but his signings (and he has always stated he has the final say over transfers) are looking decidedly ropey right now. Whilst the jury is still out on Aguerd and Cornet as both have barely featured for us, Moyes has struggled to successfully integrate the other six into the first team, and his usage of them doesn’t reflect particularly well on his judgement, IMO;
Areola – doesn’t play ahead of an increasingly struggling Fabianski.
Emerson – doesn’t play ahead of an increasingly struggling Cresswell.
Kehrer – bounced around the back four, then dropped.
Downes – barely plays at all.
Paqueta – cost £40m but Moyes doesn’t appear know his best position.
Scamacca – cost £32m but Moyes doesn’t employ tactics that suit the player, who is increasingly looking like Haller Mk2.
This all follows the previous summer where two of the four first team signings (Kral and Vlasic) were, at best, bit-part players who were subsequently farmed out 12 months later, so I do wonder how much trust is left in terms of the board giving Moyes money to spend.
I don’t think they want to sack him, but they may not have a choice soon; three more defeats – eight in a row – and they’ll be hard-pressed to justify keeping him on. A new manager now will almost certainly expect a budget this month, so if I was a betting man I’d say that the board are giving Moyes the next three games in the hope that he can turn it around, and if he doesn’t they can sack him after Everton (21st Jan) and then take a couple of weeks to bring in a replacement without having to commit to any new signings this month.
Masuku to return 🤔
Maybe Mrs Masuaku doesn't like living in Istanbul

The Womens squad is now 21 of which two of those are out on loan. Most weeks we don't name a full allocation of substitutes. Look forward to see who is coming in to replace the two who have now left plus shouldn't we have the full number of 25 players?
