Honestly, I agree with most of this

He hasn't really been sacked, has he? Just not had his contract prolonged because they want to look at other available managers.
Well yeah i suppose, but being told you are no longer wanted is effectively like being sacked.

Did a decent job at West Ham and got them out of trouble but they still think he’s not good enough for them (they’re probably right).

God, the thought of what this club brought on itself still gets worse as time goes by.

I find it funny how the press now spin it now as 'ex Manchester United manager David Moyes' when he spent 11+ seasons at Everton and didn't even see the season out at United as though he was some sort of success.
Moyes's media mates. Loyal to a fault. He'll land on his feet somewhere as in football, nothing succeeds like failure.

It’s all set up now. Big Sam and Moyes available at the same time, Everton and West Ham looking for a manager...
Seems too obvious?

I expect both Everton and West Ham will finish in worse positions next season. Can’t really understand either decision.

I predicted that he will leave West Ham at the end of the season but after relegating them. Well partly correct prediction.

But he's a Champions League manager.

"I got my real first taste of the Champions League this year and I thought I showed I can manage at that level," he said.

"I would like somewhere that would give me a chance of being in the Champions League or a club that has ambitions of being in the Champions League.

He can work anywhere:

"I think I'm capable of doing the job at any club in the world so I'm sure I can do it at West Ham,"

Did a good job at West Ham, hopefully these feckers get relegated next year.

For a family man (cringe), he must really regret leaving Everton. Had a stable job for 11 years, settled in one place. Then the last few years he's been either unemployed or being laid off across England and even in Spain.

To be fair, he took United further in the CL than Jose and LVG have managed.

To be fair, transformed Arnautovic from a streaky inconsistent winger (and awful for West Ham in this position under Bilic who seemed to have no idea how to use him) into a very dangerous centre forward. Thought he was going to be one of the flops of the season after the first few months, ended up being a key player in my fantasy team :drool:

It's a sign of how much bigger United are than Everton than anything else.

Michael Keane will always be 'ex-Manchester United player Michael Keane' just as loads of other players will be whether they played a few times, once, or were just in the youth team for us.

Bardsley, Shawcross, Diouf, King etc.

The 2013/2014 campaign under Moyes is still our best performance in the Champions League since we reached the final in 2011. Although the fact Moyes has never once qualified for the tournament suggests that campaign was more a last gasp of professional pride from Fergie’s ageing team.

Only on paper.

Then you remember who we had and how it was really down to RvP.
Don’t forget Giggs as well - that home game against Olympiacos was a masterclass from him, probably his last one as a player. Without him and RVP, that night would’ve seen a much more embarrassing exit than Sevilla was this season.

Back on topic: I’m always willing to slag Moyes at the slightest opportunity, but he can be satisfied with his performance at West Ham I think - he got a mid-table squad he took-over in the relegation zone up to 13th, which is perfectly acceptable. West Ham obviously want to take the club forward so have rightly decided Moyes isn’t the man to lead that charge, but he’s now better placed to get the next job than he was after three failures on the spin.

He did get a huge payout from MUFC. I am not sure if he got payouts from the other clubs he got fired from, though.
But I do agree with you - in hindsight, he must think to himself, "Why did I leave Everton - it was a cushy number and I knew the club/job/players; no stress; no pressure; making top 8 regularly".

Feet up at home.
The board have let James Collins go - not a surprise but a bit of a shitty way to do it via email after 11 years of service.

No class.

The question for me is whether he was always crap and managed to hide that in his comfort zone at Everton or did United break him.

Has been pathetic on and off the pitch since leaving.

That is some serious lack of objectivity on show there. Everton were fecking dreadful to watch more often than not under him, never mind being a top striker away from the league.
