Moyes is average. I'm hearing all over the press and tv how 'successful' he's been. Where's the success here?
2001-02: 15th
2002-03: 7th
2003-04: 17th
2004-05: 4th (Qualification for UEFA Champions League)
2005-06: 11th
2006-07: 6th (Qualification for UEFA Cup)
2007-08: 5th (Qualification for UEFA Cup)
2008-09: 5th (Qualification for UEFA Europa League)
2009-10: 8th
2010-11: 7th
2011-12: 7th
2012-13 - 6th (probably)
He's only finished in the top 6 five times out of twelve. Never won a trophy.
Even taking this season in isolation - looking at the squad he has there (which consists of some very good premiership players in Fellaini, Miralles, Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Osman, Coleman, Piennar, Howard, Neville and others) finishing sixth is about 'right'. A lot of other managers would finish around 6th with that squad. It isn't an 'achievement' or a 'success'.
Aside from this he's never had to handle 'pressure' especially on a Utd scale. He's never had to deal with fans who expect success. Never has to handle 'big' players and never been into the transfer market up against the really big clubs.
I'll be fucking buzzing if they sign him as manager.
