• Weird that Moyes causes such division as evidenced by the above thread. His results speak for themselves, both for and against - the big decider for me is winning a trophy with us. First time round he built teams that were not quite there but who achieved regular European trips and compared to what we've had pretty much since then, he deserves a lot of credit for that period. Now he's back we're heading in the same direction and we should have the finances to buy the players we need too, but he can only be compared to someone like Catterick or Kendall when we have won trophies! Having said that I genuinely like him and like how his teams play when they're at their best! And even when I've been most critical of him and his knife to gunfight dourness, his teams have always had a certain spirit and togetherness that has produced great defensive grit sprinkled with flair - cue Osman v Larissa https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10155263119461277...

• Mark (24) A lot of truth and common sense in that post. If we get into Europe for next seasons games it will be a feather in his cap if we make The European Champions league if we get into the third rate one it would make it difficult, imo, for Moyes or any manager to get us into a good position in the most important competition— the premier league— the one these owners will be looking at— again imo, the money making one. I think the further we go in that 3rd. rate cup the lower we will finish in the premier league especially with this small squad....

• Adrian@23, this is something I’ve been thinking for a long time mate. Buy low - sell high, and become a club that improves young players before selling them. Ala Wenger, who constantly had to sell his best players because they wanted to win trophies, when Arsenal, were concentrating on trying to build their new ground.Most teams in the EPL, are full of seasoned and experienced footballers, but how would Moyes do if he signed a load of experienced players?Could he keep Jack Grealish happy, if N’Diaye, was keeping him out the team? Same with KDH, if Alkaraz, had been given a proper chance and proved to be every bit as good as him?Modern football is all about having a big squad of good players, and my biggest concern regarding David Moyes, would be to ask if he has got the personality to be able to manage this type of squad?You hear plenty of players praising Moyes, but these are the players on the inside, players who he trusts or trusted. I looked at Dwight McNeil’s bod...

• If we want to get into the champions league and fight at the right end of the table then getting Grealish back on loan is part of the story. His ability, experience in Europe and winning mentality of playing for City will help us as a club, the players around him and help us attract better players too. Imagine him with a top quality CF to feed and an overlapping full back to play off…. Get him signed on a loan again and free up transfer funds to sign the next Grealish or other roles in the team. Like we’ve got Dibling on the right who can play behind Ndiaye, we need another option on the left who can be his understudy and come through in the next couple of years. With (hopefully) European football we are going to need a much bigger squad depth. Who would you rather have - McNeil or Grealish?...

• Funny logic that Dean. So no fan can comment on the manager of their club? As they don’t know as much about football as the manager?! Really daft post. ...
