Personally, I like what he has said. He's not desperate for our job, but would take it if he felt the club could match his ambition/put the right structures in place.
Since lots of people on here think we should be doing better than we have been in recent years (Payet season apart) presumably they would agree he has a point.
Which is all fine by me though, as I don't think Moyes is the right man for the job.
I like Mario, but not at £25m+
But hes tidy on the ball and energetic
Id be happy for another loan but no chance for £25mil
"There is a lot of stuff in the summer, from top to bottom, which needs to change and I mean that because I don’t want to go through another season like this. We need to spend money in the summer. We have a good core of players but we need another 3-4 more good ones."
Is that the sound of a gauntlet being thrown down to the chairmen? ;hmm
The Mirror are running with it. Although with a slightly more tempered tone.
He had five seasons with Villarreal, one season with Real Madrid and three seasons at Malaga but failed to win anything in Spain.
Getting Pellegrini would be amazing but if he's going to leave China I suspect he'd prefer a team with a chance of playing in Europe and that isn't going to be us for a few seasons
It's 3 more than Newcastle, and only 5 less than Burnley.
League table taking games from when Moyes took over:
That points average would have got us to 44 points over a season.
Attributes our survival to the transition of Arnie to the center from the wing and the bravery of taking the team away following the fan protest.
It is my recollection that the trip was not in response to the protest but a happy coincidence as it would have had to have been on the schedule, (in fairness they still went which was the right thing to do) he then goes on to state that people thought that West Ham were taking a risk bringing him in, when in fact it was he that was taking the risk when he agreed to lead a team in the bottom three.
It may be true that he deserves some credit for orchestrating Arnie’s switch, it just seems unfortunate to me that he feels the need to say so himself.
It comes from a radio interview, so they may not have given the full picture, or the correct context for those comments.
I think the 'bravery' comment refers to the fact that the board were minded to call off the trip.
Not sure what Moyes can do when he is asked questions, other than answer honestly.

I think you are being a bit harsh, chicago.
PS, I agree he was taking a risk joining us. With 2 bad things most recently on his CV, if we had been relegated on his watch that would most likely have finished him in management.
