Yeah, you'd think stuff like
this would've clued our board in:
To be fair, 6th-7th place for Everton is a good achievement. In comparison, they finished 11th this season.
Moyes was a 6th-7th place manager and he achieved this at MUFC, too.
LVG was a wildcard, because he hadn't managed a league side for a while. He was a top class manager, but in the EPL at least, he was a 4th-5th place manager.
Jose is a top 2 manager (this season, excepted)...same with Fergie.
So, if Moyes had got 4th place, he'd be doing very well. Punching above his weight.
If LVG got top 4, he'd be doing "okay". Not bad. No good. Just "okay.
If Jose/Fergie got 4th place - its a disaster!!!
I have no idea why anybody in their right mind would've believed that Moyes could've done better than 6th-7th, despite him proving over the years, that this was his level.
