It was more the manner of the performance though. They were absolutely useless, and that Alonso goal was NOT a goal that Pulis teams concede. Maybe the owners thought they’d see if he could muster any kind of spirited performance in a game they were likely to lose, but they just folded
If so you would have Moyes back at his old club, Sam back at his with neither set of fans (I suspect) too happy at the appointment of either.

No doubt both managers will relish the chance of getting one over their old club.
